- Driving the beast that is the 1964 Ford Galaxie R Code! This one isn't for the faint of heart or those concerned with gas mileage! It makes great sounds and is a TON of fun to drive... in fact, almost 2 tons.

Oh man what a car.. love the R-codes ever since I was old enough to really know what they were. Thunderbolt is my favorite.. my mom had a white 64 Fairlane 500 when I was 10. Love it !
You're right.... they're serious muscle cars!
When my sister was going to college, in 1978, she bought a used 1964 Ford Galaxie 500. She paid $250.00. After a friend vandalized the car with 90 weight oil and sugar in the engine and transmission. Since it was a reliable car she had it rebuilt. I later owned it and lent it to another sister. Then it was stolen and never seen again, around 1978. It was a little different than yours. It had a 289 V8 and C4 transmission. Standard shifter. Loved that car. Once drove it 250 miles to the beach and back for a weekend. I road so smooth for me.
A friend? I'd hate to see what her enemies got up to!

Cool story, thanks for sharing.
Some friend???
stunning car. engineering meets art, a symphony for all of the senses.
Pretty bad ass vintage Ford.
Beautiful looking car.👌
I wasn't sure what to expect before it was shipped out to me, but I've really grown to like this car. Massive... in size and driving experience, but a lot of fun!
It’s called a “line lock”
I had a blue convertible, and it was a cloud to ride in. I love this model
I have a black, with red interior, 1963 1/2 Galaxie 500 XL R code version. 100% correctly restored.
I would love to see a video of your car
mine must be a XL it´s a giant two doors coupé from 65, it belonged to my father and i had bought also a giant chevrolet but a still sold model ,at least i saw a impala from early 2000´s , the 67 Impala coupé ,i loved it, now my father car colection is joined with mine ,he passed away three years ago, my home garage only fits 40 cars now i have more 56 cars and don´t know where to park them,at the moment they are in my backyard, my wife is not happy with it ,she used to receive her friends in the backyard , i put all outside furniture at a corner
@@RUfromthe40s doors size doesn't make it a XL car. XL is a cosmetic trim package. Also, XL cars have bucket seats and a center console.
@@sergeantmasson3669 thanks for the info. i didn´tknew it but mine is also a bucket seats version and looks sportive ,there is other coupé but not so sporty look
@@RUfromthe40s All XL Ford cars had bucket seats.
In fact over 2 tons. All iron big block with original starter and generator and cast iron water pump, heads and intake and exhaust manifolds, 4110 lbs. I've got one and weighed it. I've since lightened up the engine with a bunch of aluminum.
Would've liked to have a look at the car🙂
i have one that belonged to my father and one day i was in his garage and saw by the side Galaxie 500 and i had bought a record from a band and thought "where did they get this name ?" that´s when i looked to the giant coupé and thought AH!!!
That fire extinguisher is handy but a knee buster right there. Maybe a little closer to the center. I like the idea of painting it black to hide it.
Was hoping you would give it the beans just once. My dad had one way back in the day, it rusted so bad that the headlights fell out. (Chicago winters).
In the late 60s a friend of mines father had a black convertible like this with a 4 speed, not sure what eng. but he had cragars on all 4 corners with dual swept antennas on the trunk. It had red interior with bucket seats.
I thought he was going to step into ...but he didnt.
If you can afford the car then you don't worry about the gas mileage!
Had a 64 state troper with the 390, not much of a pickup, but what a top end
Sweet ride. Doesn't get much better. Ford's 427 and the Chrysler Hemi were really duking it out during that time..
R code = Race? I enjoyed that ride along. thanks
100% muscle car.
Thats the one you want. Probably not the best cruiser the r code. Badass though.
Thank you! How cool would a trip out to California on old Route 66 be in this rig? I'd need a lot of gas money, but it would be a trip of a lifetime!
Seemed like the driver was intimidated by the car--why? It was easy to drive--smooth, responsive. Why be afraid of it?
That car needs a Tremec TKX 5 speed …perfect trans for that car…
Sounds like some low gears in the differential.
Always crank the car with the transmission in neutral and the clutch out. That way the trush bearing is not loaded. To do otherwise will have the bearing taking a load dry.
Unless you're stalled on the railroad tracks...
Even fast by today's standards.
Nice close ratio steering. LOL
You didnt mention, no power steerimg or brakes, muscle car also applies to the driver's effort 🤣
Looking at the decay and stupidity of Ford today you almost wonder how they managed to make such a good looking powerful car.
I own a 1963 Galaxie z code. It has 676 big block with a factory 7 speed transmission. They only made a couple of these cars, thats why youve never heard of it. It would go 0 to 60 in 3.6 seconds and a quarter mile in 8 seconds. But only when I drove it. If somebody like you drove it it would take 4 seconds 0 to 60.
@@GNXperimental Nobody likes you
