The ultimate iteration was the G-Code, which topped the engine with triple Holley two-barrel carburetors to push out a breathtaking 405 horsepower straight from the factory. This car represents a historic moment in Ford's Total Performance eraoffering an understated, luxurious sleeper look that conceals NASCAR-bred muscle underneath.From the Showroom Floor: The Jet-Age Giant with 405-Horsepower Tri-Power ThunderWhen the 1962 model year kicked off, Dearborn had a serious problem. On the streets and at the drag strips, Fords muscle car lineup was facing a major displacement deficit. Going up against the legendary 409 Chevys, 413 Mopars, and 421 Pontiacs without a single engine pushing past the 400-cubic-inch mark was a recipe for taillight-watching.Fords remedy arrived mid-season, and it arrived with a vengeance.By boring and stroking the venerable 390ci block, Ford gave birth to the 406-cubic-inch V8. In standard trim, breathing through a single Holley four-barrel carburetor, it pumped out a fierce 385 horsepower. But it was the legendary Super High-Performance Tri-Power configuration that truly rewrote the history books. By placing three Holley two-barrel carburetors beneath a striking, polished oval air cleaner, Ford unleashed a brutal 405 horsepower.To handle that kind of mechanical violence, Ford made its robust Borg-Warner four-speed manual transmission mandatory. While most 406s found their homes inside Galaxie 500 hardtops and pillared coupes, a select few were ordered in Ford's ultimate mid-year luxury-muscle additions: the full-zoot 500XL hardtop and the 500XL Sunliner. A base 406 could rocket to 60 mph in 7.1 seconds, but the Tri-Power trimmed a half-second off that timecementing this full-sized cruiser as a legitimate apex predator of the early '60s.The Feature Attraction: A Rotisserie-Restored G-Code MasterpieceWe are thrilled to offer this stunning, investment-grade 1962 Ford Galaxie 500 2-Door Club Victoria from our Museum Collection.
