A predecessor to the musclecar era, the Galaxie was Ford's fullsize competitor. Introduced in 1959 and running through the musclecar era until 1972, the Galaxie and its' various submodels produced many powerful machines. |

This car has had it's motor changed, at least once according to the documentation that came with the car, no idea about the transmission, though. It appears to have been repainted, due to multiple colors of paint showing at various points where the paint has been chipped by rocks, etc. The interior is wonderfully original & looks great, sadly, though, the material of the seats splits when you put pressure on it. Mexican blankets to the rescue! I'm presently replacing the failimg generator with a Ford 3G alternator and fixing a fuel leak & then I'll drive the tires off of it. |

Gorgeous black vinyl interior. She's powered by a 390, with a Tri-Power setup, cast iron headers, rebuilt C3AE-C heads, dual point 427 distributor, high lift cam, a Moroso 9qt oil pan and an aluminum radiator from Crites. All of this backed by a C-6 and 4.57 gears in the rear. My future plans are a Crites teardrop hood, a 3500rpm stall converter and an overdrive tranny. Possible appearance plans are primered black with flames and Radir wheels with a stance like a true Lightweight. |
