750HP All Motor Ford Galaxie Big Block Built for Drag Strip

[@richardlarson6968]

I'm 70 years old. When I was a kid the hottest car in our neighborhood was 65 Galaxie 500.

[@quikgt]

Richard Larson !! My 70 year old brother terrorized the streets in his ‘63 390c.i.

[@christophernoto]

My mom had a white '65 Galaxie, a four door with a 289. I missed a stop sign one evening and it was totalled. Luckily, no one was badly hurt.

[@RyanFordFJB]

Working on putting the 65' LTD HT back on the road in my pfp. First project, but I love the car

[@kimmorrison9169]

@@quikgt I’m sorry but a 390 doesn’t terrorize anything then or now.

[@schithead7]

The Thunder Bolt hood is a really nice touch .......... Man , what a car !

[@AutotopiaLA]

I love this one

[@ron5118]

Never get tired of the sound of a big block. Thanks

[@Mike583]

This brings back good memories! At 17 in 1970 my first car was a one owner ladies car. '64 500 XL fastback. White over red & red interior. Big bucket seats, console & automatic on floor. 390 4 bbl. We rebuilt the engine, aluminum TRW pistons, 428 CJ "C" cam, Ford aluminum dual four intake, two 600 Holley carbs. Dual point distributor & headers. Installed a beefed C6, it would break the tires loose when it went into 2nd under partial acceleration. Loved the car! My 2nd car was a '65 square back mustang with a factory 289 hipo, but that's another story! Thanks for sharing this video, love that car, & the tear drop scoop! Came factory on T-Bolts & the other bodies with 427 hi risers! Adds to the great looks!❤ Fabulous Fords Forever!❤👍🏁

[@tomnekuda3818]

I remember when these came out as '63'1/2 Fords. That struck me as sort of strange but when I saw the car, I was a believer as the styling of the fastback was a great move on Ford's part. It was big, sexy, and had plenty of room under the hood. I still love the sleekness of the car. I've built several 460's but never one that made that kind of ponies. I'd love to drive that baby.

[@rmchevelle]

Love a guy like this who can tell you about every inch of his car because HE built it!!! Awesome Galaxy!

[@AutotopiaLA]

He built everything on here and loves driving it

[@Thecraig909]

Love Nick’s car. Glad he got on the show!

[@CyberDocUSA]

Always loved that body style. Pure beast. This is so f-ing tastefully done i bow my head with respect.

[@pshort8086]

Love these early 60's Galaxies. This one's Sick!

[@Davivd2]

This was the same car my dad had when I was a kid. My first memories in a car are of this car. The interior and the carpet are exactly the same. Seeing that brought back memories that I hadn't even thought of since the early 80's. Thanks for the upload.

[@johnbehneman1546]

WOW!!!! A 460 Ford is the way to go. Cheap. fast horsepower!!!! That is what hot rodding is all about!!!! Great Galaxie 500, great video, and thanks for sharing!!!! You made my night!!!!

[@CJColvin]

Thats one badass 63 Ford Galaxie 500 and 750 HP 520 Ford Big Block sounds nasty brother.

[@angelmotorsportsyanez2135]

I love the original interior and how he left it alone !!! Original interiors are beautiful! A beautiful car that looks aggressive with some stock components love it

[@a.s.4914]

Sparko front seats and rear seat delete? Yuck! No thanks! Agree one hundred percent. 😉✌️

[@bravofoxable]

What a car! Nick such a nice guy, glad he really enjoys the car. Superb build, real full size badass. Glad he went with the bulletproof 460. That shot with the smoke rising from the melted rubber on the road! Btw, there is nothing NOT to like in your vids Shawn, setting, music, photography, cars, everything is just spot on.

[@karlx-1]

Quality build right there. Once you go BBF, you never go back. It's far cheaper to build than an FE. It's also MUCH stronger than an FE or BBC. I swapped in a 460 in my 68' Torino and smile like a kid, from the moment I take it out to the moment I back it into the garage.

[@Coronet_shop]

Stronger than a FE are you nuts!!!!? There’s a good amount of folks running two spinny boys, in their Torino’s and galaxies making 800+ hp with ease, they’re still holding up stroker or no stroker.

[@kimmorrison9169]

That punched out 385 series motor was the way to go with this build. They can make great power plus u stay all FoMoCo!

[@branon6565]

I love the Thunderbolt lookin hood....That Ford is nothin but beautiful brutality....

[@AutotopiaLA]

Agreed all the way

[@Combat556]

Back in 1964 my honey and I double dated with her best friend, and her bo owned a 1963 R Code 427 Galaxy. So we’re in the backseat and he’s cruising El Cajon Blvd in San Diego looking for a street race. He got one, a 409 Chevy, and as he banged off the gears in that 427 Galaxy you could feel the torque and hp coming through the floorboard into the backseat…almost as good as, well, you know!

[@AutotopiaLA]

Almost as good for sure 😂

[@jeffblomendahl361]

When you look up "stance" in the dictionary there is a picture of that car... Nailed it. The exhaust note is right on. Love 63 1/2 fastback Galaxies. My folks had one that they bought brand new, the first car that I remember as a kid. Light blue with a white top, only a 260 or 289 but to a 2 or 3 year old it was too cool....

[@AutotopiaLA]

Cool story and yes on the stance. This whole build is on point

[@orwellknew9112]

63 Galaxies are sweet rides. I was in Grade 7 when I saw my first one. A convertible that my friends father owned. In those days that was a sweet ride. I like how he’s freaking out about the stock seat belts. Our 1960 Pontiac didn’t have any seat belts.

[@stevepick9527]

I think those galaxy 500 were one of the coolest cars ever made! I agree it has the “look”!

Nice car well done, I can still see my buddies 63 Ford coming over Bridge. His was 427 I believe. Man you got to be happy camper. ENJOY!

[@marwannabe]

What a freagin' badass build!!! All that power and no forced induction!!!! Love the stance, the tucked in wheels, stock interior, hood scoop, denim grey bumpers... Gold 🙌

[@peterf4552]

We had a '63 Ford "Country Sedan" wagon when I was a kid. It had 260 V8 with a two barrel carburetor! Real screamer.

[@ccjensen4670]

In 1967 I scored a R code 427 out of a 63 1/2 Ford Galaxie that broke a rod and wrapped it around its neighbor and was wedged between the counterweight. Took it to JC engine rebuilding shop class and it became a class project. Got two rods and pistons from junk yard

[@JohnnyPeacenic]

this was one of my best cars. it had a tight front end.

[@s.gossett5966]

I do have a soft spot for the 60s Galaxies and Fairlanes. That one just ticks all the boxes for me. And as always, fantastic work.

That was my first car. It was my grandfather's before it became mine in 1979. Had the 289 under the hood and I had such great times cruising around town with her back when I was young.

The old 460 is still a whole lot of fun even just to watch do cool....!!!

[@barryboyd7973]

Those are such pretty cars. I remember a friend of mine, Danny Ruffalo, had one (his father’s car). We were just 12 years old, but really into cars. Danny was very proud of that car. My dad had a 64 Pontiac Parisienne convertible, white with black interior and roof and his father had a Galaxie 500 convertible in a cream colour with a white interior and roof. The Galaxie was gorgeous and had the 390 engine. Our Pontiac just had a small block. I would say that Danny easily won the bragging rights.

[@jakespeed63]

Super Cool...as is the '65 Coronet Hemi you featured. Wish we could see both of them duke it out!

[@ccjensen4670]

To finish the story installed the engine in my 59 Galaxie with the three speed tyranny and exploded it on the first hard launch....went to another junk yard and got all the rest of the running gear out of another wrecked R code..installed it in my folks carport. Replaced my five spoke mags with original steel wheels, big hubcaps and a set of cheater slicks...352 valvecovers and air cleaner worked with biggest AFB carb you could buy....yes, it was a sleeper and with the column linkage still in place and a leather jacket covering the 4 sp. Shifter left a lot of Chevys wondering what just happened . I drooled over a white 63 1/2 Galaxie fastback with black bench seats, 2,000 miles with an asking price of $2,700 sitting on a used car lot ...way out of my budget at 18 years old.

[@kemosabegt350geuss6]

My thoughts exactly. I always wanted to redo a 64 Galaxie as a No. 28 tribute. If this 63 was mine I would put a small No. 28 on the lower front fender.
