      A '64 Galaxie 500 XL with the 390 has to be one of the best all 'round show and go all purpose car ever built. I had it all. Gorgeous looks, decent performance, and not so hot your grandma couldn't drive it when she went to church or down the street to get groceries. I LOVE these cars!

    I hqd a friend in high school (we graduated in 1965) who drove a 1963 1/2 Galaxie 500XL 406 dual quad (His folks had WAY woo much money). He never took it to the local drag strip, but on Friday night, the Dodges still had more, but the 409's (as long as we had more than 1/4 mile) never shut him down. The soul of this car came at the other end of the road. As you head out of town, the roads are a mile apart. He had already figured what car dealer or grocery store was about 120 yards past 440 yards. Worked almost every time!

Have a 59 T-bird that I dropped a 390 with a 428 crank in it. 4 speed top loader (wide ratio) 4.00 Rousch yates detroit locker, 9 inch pumpkin, 31 spline axles. Yes, I cut a hole in the floor to put the manual trans in. Lots of little extras that gives me about 400hp and over 470 torque at 6500 elevation. It's a kick in the ass to drive.

    Thank you for bringing back such wonderful memories for me. In 1965 my Dad brought home a 63-1/2 Galaxy XL 500 with a 427, 4 speed. It was factory metal flake gold with a white top, white interior with bucket seats and floor console. It was special ordered by the owner of our Ford dealership in Sarasota, FL. He would take my older brother and myself out for cruises...he was a drag racer in the 50's and early 60's and had even bought a 1957 Fairlane Custom with the factory supercharged 312 brand new. I loved that Galaxy and in 1976 I had a 1967 Mustang GT Fastback with a Holman-Moody 427, 4 speed and 9" Locker Rear. One thing you were wrong on was the red line...the cross bolt main 427's would easily wind to over 8,000rpm all day long as they were developed for NASCAR and turned that on the track. I reved mine to 8k when racing for 3yrs and never hurt it. I wish I had seen this when you first put it out as I would have have bought this fine ride in an instant. Thank you again for the walk down Memory Lane and for the sweet video.

I constantly here my dad talk about getting one and having it restored to original condition. So I think that I have found the perfect Father's day gift for him and hope that I can pull it off. I never met my grandparents/ his mom and dad but he speaks so kindly of them and I'd love to give him a constant reminder of them because they sound like they were amazingly hard working and as loveable as he is..

    Okay, I'm a old fart. So, back in the day. My buddy Joe had a '63 Galaxy 500. Came with a 390. He found a crashed 500XL in a wrecking yard, with a black interior. Bucket seats, console, etc. We got the whole interior out of it. It was black and perfect. We managed to get all of it in without mishap. He pulled the old 390, which had a lotta miles, and was showing signs of old age. He rebuilt the engine with a mild cam, 11 to 1 pistons, porting and a nice balance job. This old car surprised a lot of people who thought that they had fast cars. I still remember the throaty sound when you stamped on the "loud pedal"

      TheRatshooter - Nice post about home made muscle car / sleeper. This would be a great thread to start ie "My favorite sleeper".
      In 1967 I talked a gear head buddy of mine down the street to build a wicked sleeper. I found a 57 Chevy 210 4 door post in light green that was owned by a school teacher in our neighborhood. He went to a wrecker and bought a nice 427 Corvette motor and rebuilt it to near radical street machine level. The car had dual quads, headers, full flow muffler system, 4-speed, posi, racing clutch, big radiator, scatter shield, very beefed up suspension and brakes, tach and gauge panel ect. Except for traction bars, wide rear rims, and cheater slicks the cars appearance was bone stock. I don't have to tell you a lot of guys got a nasty surprise. I think the most beautiful thing about that car was the sound coming out of what looked like little school teacher stove bolt. The best part was the investment was minimal to build a bad ass machine.

This was one of the cars I never wanted to sell. I appreciate all the kind words from the gear heads all around the world. It does have extensive race history, and was signed by some of the greatest. This car was a blast to film. Sorry Im young and can afford and drive all these cars while you haters type your rude comments. The best part is I love what I do and get to drive something different every day.

    A great car. I've seen a very few at premium prices. You mentioned the hood. Most 63 & 64 Galaxy 427 had a raised hood to vent heat with some having a center bubble hood. If memory is correct. It also provided more height for the tall air cleaner covering the high rise intake and air cleaner. I believe the single quad 427 was rated at 410 HP and ran quarter-miles around 14..0 remember. This is a big and heavy sedan. I'm not sure about the dual quads 427 (full race engine) other than it was rated at 425 HP. Thanks for sharing a great piece of history

    What really makes this amazing is that FoMoCo did not get into performance in the 1960's until Lee Iacocca came to the helm and started dropping V-8's in cars in mid 1962. For the Falcon, the 144 straight six was the standard engine until 1963 and their first V-8's were just 260 small blocks. I restored and owned a 1963 Falcon Tudor with a 144 CU six and it was a putt mobile:)-John in Texas

      That's not exactly true.
      They had supercharged 312 "Y" block motors as options in 1957.
      and a 430 c.i./400 hp MEL available up and down the Lincoln/Mercury line in 1958.
      The FE engine started life as 332 c.i. and debuted in 1958 which was the basis for all the variations of 352's, 390's, 406's, 427's and 428's.
      Yes, Robert Strange McNamara had to go.
      He walked in one day and made the command decision to tone things down by forcing engineers install two barrel carburetors on Lincolns and everything.
      All this when everybody, including FoMoCo, was on a tri-power kick, among other things.

Went a wrecking yard and got everything from the bellhousing back for $250.00.
      Put stock full hubcaps on the car with only cheater slicks hinting at what the car was designed to do...sucker 327 Chevy's into street races they had no chance of winning....A 63 1/2 Galaxies with a 427 four speed with 3 K miles could be bought off a used car lot in Santa Rosa for 2900.00 at that time..good old days for sure!!!
