Vehicle Description
1963-1/2 Galaxie Super Stock Lightweight tribute of the most
successful 427 ci 425 HP '63 Ford Galaxie ever built for drag
racing. The original car stacked up 65 wins and set 22 track
records during the 1963 racing season and was also the first Ford
in history to hold an NHRA record in Super Stock Class, which was
set at the famous York US 30 Dragway on July 12, 1963. The car was
driven by Dick Brannan, an original member of the elite "Ford Drag
Team" which was sponsored by Ford Motor Company in Dearborn,
Michigan. Dick campaigned the car nationwide and it wasn't long
until it was known as the "Fastest Ford Alive" over the entire
country. Most competitors said: "I just couldn't keep up with that
high gear!" The original car has been fully restored and is in a
museum in the N.E. This is #1 of 1 of the exact car. Correctly
