OVERVIEW
Few American cars have quite the road presence of a 1960s Ford Galaxie, and this 1964 two-door example combines that unmistakable character with a considerable programme of mechanical and usability upgrades.
Finished in clean Corinthian White, its understated exterior allows the proportions of the Galaxie to do the talking, complemented by 15-inch American Racing Torq Thrust wheels and a purposeful stance.
Under the bonnet sits a rebuilt Ford 390 FE V8, equipped with a four-barrel carburettor, performance camshaft and followers, Holley performance inlet manifold and fuel pump, together with MSD electronic ignition. Power is delivered through a three-speed automatic transmission.
Considerable attention has also been given to making the Galaxie easier and more confidence-inspiring to enjoy on modern roads, including professionally installed electric power steering, uprated Wilwood front brakes and a comprehensively upgraded cooling system.
