For sale in our Dallas/Fort Worth showroom is a show stopping 1962
Galaxie 500 G-Code. If you are in the market for a rare piece of
factory prepped race history, then look no further. This Galaxie
rolled off the line in Los Angeles with the G-Code Thunderbird 406
CID Super High-Performance V8 under the hood. This engine was
offered strictly as a homologation special for NHRA Super Stock
drag racing. Offered in two versions, this top spec Super
High-Performance boasted 11.4:1 compression, triple Holley 2-barrel
carburetors, and factory headers leading to dual exhaust. For rated
the Super High-Performance 406 at 405hp and 448lb-ft of torque. As
expected, the Tri-Power 406 was aimed at squarely at serious
drivers. Heavy Duty suspension, brakes, and 15-inch wheels were all
included with the package, and the Borg-Warner toploader 4-speed
manual was a mandatory option, because even the Cruise-O-Matic
couldn't handle the torque. As is typical with these racing
homologation specials, there were many things that could not be
ordered on the car such as air conditioning, deluxe wheel covers,
power steering, power brakes, chrome engine bay dress up, or
automatic transmission. The example you see here is presented in
the correct Oxford Blue over blue interior with optional all vinyl
trim, and was equipped with the optional 4.11 rear end. It is one
of 9 Tudor Club Victoria's (hardtop coupes) with the Tri-Power 406
known to the '62 Galaxie Registry. This two owner California car
underwent a full concourse level restoration less than 300 miles
ago and nearly looks as good as the day it was new. This is a rare
chance to own a piece of history. Don't miss this gorgeous piece of
history! To view this vehicle in greater detail including HD
