The 63 1/2 Galaxie has no bad angles. Attractive from any view.

[@HammerPowered]

I'm just like you, man...find myself walking right past the supercars to the old muscle cars and trucks. Not that I hate supercars...but, they just don't have the same appeal to me.

[@Jackalski57]

Just comparing old Vettes with new ones, I'll pretty much just walk by the newer ones to see a '63 or thereabouts! The newer ones do have clean lines, handle better, etc, but looking under the hood there's just that dressy piece of plastic on top and you can't see the engine itself. Heck, there could be a bunch of squirrels running around in a cage providing the power for all you could tell. I just see no soul in many of the newer cars.

[@uppastdawn7627]

Those Galaxies have always been a favorite of mine.

[@rmbbc6801]

Awesome 63!!! Real killer car! Yes, i would be afraid to pull up next to Nicks monster in a Super car!!! Craig! Glad you went for a ride in that 63, let it be a great inspiration to finish your 64s. Theyre not turds!!!! Love the 63-66 Galaxies👍🏁

[@2098elk]

Beautiful car! Always loved that body style. 63 1/2 models are great.

[@jessegoldston70]

Yes indeed, definitely jealous, my buddy has a 61 ford truck that has 600hp and he is getting new injectors and a tune that would put him in 800 to 1000hp ! Awesome content and I love that country wagon that saw at the show

[@Robert8455]

Gorgeous car! I love the way she rips and the clean almost stock like appearance.

[@ralphkehrer6136]

Makes me wanna cry to see this Galaxie... I owned a 63 1/2 Galaxie500 XL convertible some 30 years ago. Lived in Switzerland that time and was working on restoring it for years. Switzerland only imported the 352 as max size motor option but mine had a 4 speed manual shift. Had to sell the car half way through the work. Body work is so expensive in Switzerland and I didn't have a shop or experience to do it myself. Well all I have left are photos. That car is still my favorite ever. Great job on keeping your car in original look and having that much power coming out. Jealous haha.

[@davidvansickle563]

Car shows are a lot of fun. I’m super excited to start going back with better weather and warmer temperatures up here in New England. I have a buddy that has a 58’ Apache restored

[@brianfalls5894]

That was a mighty fine old Ford there. Loved the sound of it too!

[@Pappaoh]

That thing is just spectacular. Might be the best looking of the early 60's big cars and this one sounds amazing

[@fredanddebramacdonald2445]

This is the perfect Ford!! I had a 1971 Galaxy with a warmed over 400M for a few years. It brings back memories. This is the Ford guys like me dream about, but it’s way out of my price range. Thanks so much for the fantastic video.

[@SweatyFatGuy]

Car show season. This is the first year I can remember in the 15 years I have lived here that I can drive my car in March. Usually the snow is still 5' deep here and the roads are covered in salt until May. Last year it was May 20th when I could get the GTO out. I am digging the warm weather in the north. I should be building something cool, but instead I am trying to fix the winter beaters, fuel and brake lines always rust off them here.

[@frizzellracing]

I was hoping it was going to be FE powered. But it’s still a cool car. Love the Galaxie’s

[@truthweallknow]

I like this guy he likes he likes the 427 Too. Plus he a Ford man.

[@DWH300]

What a fantastic car. Many years ago My dad purchased a new 64 galaxy 500 and I tagged along for an oil change. I had always loved Ford vehicles and kept up with Super Stock racing. As I looked around the lot I found a new white 64 galaxy fast back buried in the back lot. On. The fender was Ford's bird for showing engine size. On the label was 427. The rear of the hood had spacers so the hood would shut covering the big 427. I popped the hood and was amazed with the large engine that had 2-four barrel and two hoses that looked like dryer hoses head towards the front headlights. The inside lights were missing and the hosed filled the openings. Seeing this beautiful car on this video reminded of that amazing car. Fantastic and rare 1964 Galaxy 500. Thanks for sharing.

[@Revolution1117]

Same. My father bought a '64 Galaxie 500 XL fastback/ 4bbl, 300HP, C6 as the family car. He, in turn, bought a new Sunbeam Tiger in '65 for himself, but that's another story. I was 10yrs old in '63 and my father (always a Ford family) had gotten me into cars / NASCAR. 1963 was first year of the Falcon Sprint, also. I loved that car! We'd go to Riverside Raceway every year for the Motor Trend 500, which was the first race of the year for new models. Dan Gurney ruled and won the race (5 of 6 races) from '63 to '67, as it was basically in his back yard. Parnelli Jones was the only one to beat Gurney during that period. "Race on Sundays, Sell on Mondays" was the motto back then. A good time to be alive. ;)

[@ronnyeisenhower7793]

Idk why you haven’t gone viral yet u have the best car channel out of them all

[@electricguysvcs]

A buddy of mine had one of those when we were in high school in the 80's. Major memories and fun in that thing. I see I'm not the only backyard mechanic out there

[@maxnichols1727]

Everytime you do a car show or junk yard video I feel like I'm there. It's great!

[@MIKEH.777]

I love your videos keep up the great work, your buddy should level out his car it would look alot sweeter down a little bit lower in the back and never feel jealous of someone because it will slow you down from finishing your cars but great job on the channel and God Bless you and your family

[@timmckinley8664]

That is one SWEET ride.👍

[@davidhughes4728]

Really love the video keep up the good work man

[@lucky-rowe2623]

I never liked those Fords when I was younger and now I just love this body style. What a cool car!

[@dh2360]

Another great car video!

[@OSH_Customs]

Man I’m jealous, currently building my 50 ford. Watching from the garage lol. You’re a huge inspiration my friend.

[@kramnull8962]

My neighbor drove a green 50 Ford when I was growing up. It sat for a few years. He took it totally apart put in all new rubber and did a very good restoration on it. Even though he had taken care of it over the years. Put a 70 Boss 302 in it. Not built, just a good dependable engine and left the original 3 on the tree of the 50. Cherry Red inside and out. He gave it to his son, that was my age when we went to High School. Drove it the first day of school and never drove it again. Claimed the bumper got a ding in it in the parking lot. I've thought long and hard about what happened. I figured out that some of the girls didn't take to it and he just lost all interest in it. What a loss. So worried about what everyone else thinks and not what your father had worked so hard to give him... Same neighbor parked a 56 Crown Vic in his basement back in the 70's as well... Had a fully restored 61 Starliner 390/300hp as well. Although like when I say restored, actually he could have just buffed the paint and made them look show room good. But the rubber in all of them after driving them for 25 years had to be changed. Suspension joints and window glass.

[@donnamertlich1133]

Hope that you are using a flat head. My dad had A 50 ford coupe during my high school years. Nothing like that sound of an idling flat head...

[@johnp1966]

your buddies Galaxie is perfect, gorgeous car.

[@young11984]

Yep i struggle to get up at 5:30 during the week but will be up, bright eyed and on the road at 5:00 on a Saturday morning to go to a drag strip or road course lol. Love the Galaxie content man. Need to make a bigger pause when you say NSX group, thought you said in a sex group😂

[@jaysonescoe5799]

Least I’m not the only one!!! 😂😂😂

[@johnnymoody2740]

His Galaxy is sick. Can't wait to see yours on the road. Does Nick have a channel too??

5:45 That red Bel Air is awesome!

[@ernieorottowescott2364]

Nice job on video, not to long or short and keeping it simple. Don’t lose your enthusiasm for car lookin’! Is that an aluminum front bump or fiberglass?

[@sergeantmasson3669]

Ernie or Otto Wescott, fiberglass.

[@peterhodges6684]

I have a 63.5, triple black ragtop..... but it doesn't go like that ! Very cool man.

[@marlobreding7402]

In 1970 I attended the Santa Monica community college and was taking automotive classes. Noel, one of my classmates had a 1963 Ford galaxie 500 Talladega that he was restoring. Pretty cool car. 427 dual quads four speed and posi.

[@crownvicky]

I could see the grin coming on. I can still remember those days of trying to reach for the dash.

[@proudtexan5513]

Excellent video!!!

[@bigbow62]

That's one wicked ride, love that original blue interior wow ! Also that teardrop hood scoop only looks good on Ford's ..... well I did see one on a 65' El Camino that looked pretty sweet... but for the most part it's a Ford hood scoop 😆 Yes love a full size Muscle car , can't wait for your project cars to hit the road.....☺ Best of luck with the channel Craig ✌😎

[@danonoveh8114]

Thats for sure, just like that L82 cowl induction style hood belongs on just chevolays👍😉

[@danonoveh8114]

Man that Galaxie is so Awesome, and its a 63 model year just like me👍😀

[@PsychoSainten]

That snap on van was lookin real slick! I wish I had friends that were into classics like me

[@yamahaguy1732]

Luckily most of my friends are A into cars or B can at least appreciate classics

[@boogiemanproductions6948]

Same

[@danonoveh8114]

That is bad to da bone👍😀

[@williamalley4976]

Craig remember They May be turd's but they are your turd's. LOL. Nice video of that ball busting Galaxie.

[@ladonnaghareeb4609]

My husband said...and there is the holy crap this is cool smile when the driver nails the gas! Incredible car sir!

[@sonnyjordan2701]

Beautiful 63 love it

[@MLFranklin]

That is an extremely good looking car.

[@brucebaker4462]

Love them old galaxies.

[@gregorytimmons4777]

1960 thru '67 full size Fords are all awesome. I mean, you need every trick in the book to make a 4dr. shine but a hot enough engine flinging a car down the track counts for a lot. When i think of these cars i think how great the '63 is but then into my mind pops the 7 Litre '66. Of course next comes the under appreciated '60 with that wide, low one year body style.. Now in my present day home town is a beautiful black '61 or 2 406 convertible with turquoise interior. All these gorgeous cars don't make it a bit easier to pick a favorite.

[@johnnyhawkins43]

I just love the old 406 engine it was right before the 427 engine!

[@yeboscrebo4451]

Thx for sharing!

[@saludahead]

Beautiful old Galaxy! Hardtop Convertible. too! Those are some rare birds!

[@johnnywrench5579]

Craig your truck is just getting better and better but I think you did enough to it .It's definitely your truck and unique so don't do to much more. Start on another one.

[@UnityMotorSportsGarage]

Awesome car! great video..

[@Jackalski57]

I'm loving on the Galaxie! One of the only things I'd love more would be a Ford Falcon or Falcon-based Ranchero around the same year with the teardrop hood and nice large powerplant! 👀

[@user-ge2qn6gp4o]

Love the color on that charger.

[@vegastaz]

Love these old Galaxies

[@doug1030]

Thanks for the EPA heads up !!!

[@arkhsm]

I was at the BEACH HOP today here in New Zealand, and of the 1,000 plus cars there, I'd swear me and my 11 year old daughter Shelby saw between 40-50 Galaxies. Feel free to Google Beach Hop 2021 videos. I was surprised to see a '66 Falcon Ranchero, and a 2 door 67/68 Falcon as well; as all the Falc's here were 4 door. If you look at my avatar closely you can see a Rhino. That's because the Aussies exported Falcon GT's to South Africa, where they called them Fairmont GT's. Love that you are into old V8 FORD's mate, and that is one cool Galaxie !!

[@samuelbatchelor262]

Happy to be back.

[@cavscout62]

SWEET Galaxie !

[@aguyinnc2865]

Amazing car!

[@jeffreyyeater1780]

Just BADASS . no other words.

[@georgehuerta1990]

One of my dream cars also my 68 fastback Mustang but I sure love that Galaxy though. I love the tail lights they look like flames should be coming out of them like a rocket ship

[@GorillaCookies]

I have a 63 1/2 Galaxie 500 with a 521 stroker , tunnel ram , dual holleys and a tremec 5 speed. Its unbelievably quick. Love that car

[@IronHorseGarage]

That thing is bad to the bone! Very nice car!

[@markmadlena8845]

My favorite 60 car for sure. NASCAR champ that year as well.

[@wyo1446]

NASCAR champ that year, and numerous others.

[@j.r.thompson5950]

I am curious as to where you got your patches for your jacket? Ford 1971??

[@danmck8965]

Damm that thing is awsome

[@joermrobinson]

Craig, have I missed the cam/ engine specs on your mate nicks '63 galaxy ?

[@Jim-qc6gu]

When I was 20 yo, my friend had a 63 1/2 light weight, 427 cid. Of course I was young and dumb at that time, didn’t know much about cars, but he took me a ride and I was like “ holy s$&t” , that Ford was crazy fast.

[@nicholaspuetz8675]

Where did you get the coat, would like to get one to wear for my truck.

[@oleandreasjensen5263]

So beautiful car.... LOVE IT!!! -

[@Pointman-yf6or]

Wish I still had mine! Had the 427 “truck motor”/4 speed, but still turned 13’s. Not to bad for a 4000 lb car.

[@danderson9881]

That Galaxie is out of this World, Right on!

[@bluesharp59]

Thumbs up cool car and video.

[@masonrichardson6581]

Good memories in the ol' back massager

[@clooperman3745]

The Galaxy looks superb and sounds great, more than l can say about those modern so called super (pooper) cars!!!!

[@northpointaxe6167]

About to start a 63 500 4 door project, has a 352 but will be changing that up.

[@ryanvilletard4026]

Great looking galaxie. I have a 64 marauder and am a fan of that era of Ford. Great video too, next time can you clean your lens though? Your blog camera lens was spotty the whole video!

[@donaldaltman4764]

DID FORD OR MERCURY MAKE THE CALINTE

[@HI-RISER]

If you like this car, look for the 64 Marauder from Popular Hot Rodding. Red, Tbolt hood, hi beams gone and steelies.

[@crippleguy415]

SIMPLY GORGEOUS FORD 👍🏻🇺🇸❤

[@jimh309]

63 1/2 was my favorite year! That car has the super nice interior as well. XL?

[@wyo1446]

That's a 500XL

[@johnjohnsn7633]

The 47 Merc wagon was one that was converted by Marmon-Herrington to "All Wheel Drive" for FoMoCo. At that time, Ford didn't produce 4-wheel-drive vehicles on their assembly lines ... instead contracting them out to M-H.

[@greggoett]

Great Galaxie.... my preference would be.. more nascar effect.. same size tires up front as in back.. no rake.

[@jeffcomer8317]

Nick's car is badd a**

[@tomolson7777]

Craig, What will the 63 do in the quarter?

[@jorgejefferson8251]

That Galaxie is nice and beefy

[@philhunt3908]

That is one awesome car

[@MrGixxer1300r]

Awesome car!!! It really doesn't seem big or heavy with a 700hp big block the seems quite nimble

[@ddddsd20]

Very nice.

[@troyfitzmaurice6834]

Yep very cool. Thanks kind regards perth wa

[@johnpassmore8176]

Nice galaxy

[@johnbecay6887]

what kind of times at the track?

[@Turbo4Joe363]

Kaase P-51s on a 521cid beast.....VERY nice! You can't beat the sound of a cammed 8.5L Big Block Ford! Those big, 60s Galaxies look great. You're right, 390FEs are a waste of time....now 427FEs = awesome! But a ton of $$$. Stock 460 block or aftermarket 4 bolt main block?

[@classiccarscanada2729]

Dang it Craig I’m stuck up here in Canada and you had to go and film the in and out burger truck.

[@majcrash]

It ain't that great. All fast food burgers suck.

[@qball1of1]

Agreed..I&O is awesome.

[@markbrenneman5219]

Formerly from the "909" (San Bernardino). Been in Buffalo, NY since 2003. And...you had to go and rub it in - by focusing on the In and Out truck. Missing that franchise - as well as Del Taco...and Baker's...and, and...well, I just don't want talk about it anymore.

[@elmonteslim3711]

now that is a cool freakin car

[@stevenertle2876]

Is freaking awesome

[@fritzmeynejr2983]

I would have liked it 100% if it was a four-speed manual...keep the ers consistency! Great ride! Interesting Jacksonville FL C&C still can not find us a monthly venue...it has been one full year w/o the C&C show, what a joke! Evidentially we have a bunch of Mask weenies in the Jax, once premier show! So disappointing!

[@G_Rapids]

Can't wait to get my galaxie on the road.

[@Drunken_Hamster]

The only thing I would change is the shift pattern. Back for up, forward for down, as it SHOULD be and IS in a sequential transmission. Though I might just go for a different transmission altogether, too.

[@charlesdowell4505]

Hooked on these Galaxies

[@DarkFord5054]

Does he have blue dot tail lights

[@colebean1426]

Heck yeah

[@paxwallace8324]

So what 427 r-code side oiler Edelbrock manifold, cam, headers, EFI? 4wheel brembos limited slip suspension.

[@rickdunn2041]

looks like North County SD?

[@MrShobar]

San Onofre atomic power plant at 12:28. Tell me why the power output from the Galaxie exceeds the power generated by this plant.

[@OOICU812]

Nice car. Looks like a supersized Falcon.
