"Win on Sunday; Sell on Monday" is a motto that the "Big 3" American automotive manufacturers (Ford, Chrysler and General Motors) lived by and especially during the horsepower wars of the 1960's. Each manufacturer was trying to develop and produce the fastest and most powerful automobile competing in various motorsports including stock car racing, circuit track racing and drag racing. It is no surprise that each of the manufacturers began offering factory packages to turn their standard passenger cars into tarmac stomping machines. When it came to factory produced drag racing packages of the early 60's, Chevrolet had the Z11 package, Dodge had their Max Wedge Lightweights and Ford had their FX Lightweights. This stunning 1964 Ford Galaxie 500 is an excellent recreation and tribute to these iconic factory race cars. This Ford Galaxie 500 benefits from an older and very extensive factory lightweight style restoration that still presents very well today. During the restoration, the Galaxie received period correct fiberglass body panels including: fiberglass front fenders, fiberglass teardrop hood, fiberglass inner fenders, fiberglass rear decklid and fiberglass front and rear bumpers. This Galaxie is finished in a beautiful Red exterior paint that shines very well and is in excellent condition throughout. Complimenting the Galaxie's Red exterior is the factory chrome and stainless trim, and a set of American Racing Torque Thrust wheels wrapped in Redline Coker tires in front and Raised white letter Hoosier DOT cheater slicks in the rear. This Galaxie 500 features a 500XL-style Black vinyl bucket seat interior that is in very good condition and benefits from the addition of a floor mounted B&M ratchet shifter and a column mounted Autometer tachometer. Powering this great Ford is a well built Super Cobra jet 429 cubic inch big-block V8 that has been bored and stroked to 514 cubic inches. The 514 cubic inch big-block V8 has been nicely upgraded with: Ford Racing Super Cobra Jet aluminum heads, mild rise intake manifold, dual Holley 600cfm carburetors, MSD ignition, and long tube headers feeding a custom dual exhaust. The very powerful Super Cobra Jet 514 cubic inch V8 is backed by a C6 3-speed automatic transmission equipped with a reverse manual valve body and power is transferred to the rear wheels via a Ford 9" rear end equipped with 4.11:1 final drive gears. This drivetrain combination comes together to produce an intoxicating driving experience that will leave a grin on your face and your back glued to your seat. This Galaxie 500 lightweight recreation is nicely equipped with front disc brakes, AM radio, B&M ratchet shifter, column mounted Autometer tachometer, aftermarket Stewart Warner oil pressure and water temperature gauges, and variable speed wipers.
