1963 Ford Galaxie With 427FE Ripping Through The Gears! -[HD] Bullet Motorsports

- Опубликовано: 16 авг 2018
- ***SOLD***This is a real deal 60s muscle car. You would not expect this car to move the way it does. It has a total of 23,XXX original miles on the body, the paint is 90% original and the interior is 95% original! It has zero rust, and only Ford components were used for the restoration of the FE 427ci Motor. She sounds like a jet taking off. First Person to see and hear her in person will surely buy it. It is a no B/S car with the original build sheet included. This specific unit was built by a former Galaxie / 427 collector. It was done right!
Interior:
The interior is near perfect; the only mark I can find is on the rear seat bolster (drivers side) less than ¾ if an inch located near the hinge. Otherwise, it is pristine. Take a look at the pictures and you will see what I mean, It’s like you stepped back in time! It even has the OE mats inside! The Hurst Shifter looks menacing and shifts flawlessly. All the glass goes up and down with ease; all of the gaskets are in pristine condition! Watch our walk around/ test drive video! The trunk is like new inside, and you could easily fit
Exterior:
The exterior has 90% original paint with two small touch-ups. I would rate the paint an 8-10. There are minor imperfections due to the sheer size of the canvas! The paint shows very well and has great luster. Wheels and tires are excellent and all of the dog dishes are near perfect. All the chrome is in excellent condition. The Door handles are original and show minor wear. All of the seals are in excellent condition. Looks like it rolled off the assembly line. There is absolutely no Rust on this chassis and or body.
Mechanicals:
This is a straight line Speed Boat. I use the word boat because of the sheer size. It is powered by a 427 FE motor from 65 mated to a T10 transmission with all the power laid out via a Detroit locked 28 spline 3.50 Ford 9 inch rear. She has 3-inch big bearing brakes up front. The Carbs are correct and have the Green tags on them, when the secondary’s open up, hold on because this high revving motor will not stop pulling. This is the same motor run in the Lemans Racecars of the era. It was built to run at high rpm for hours on end. The internals of this FE motor are all OE Ford components She easily has 450+hp. It is set up exactly how a weekend drag car would have been from the era, this includes the Track Bars and Full 3 inch Exhaust. All the bushings are in excellent condition and the suspension feels great. This big girl hooks and pulls until you let off. This is a turn-key Galaxie that needs nothing to enjoy!

My grandma had one like this 427 in it white, I used to love going to Krogers with her in it she would get on it too and say I'm just keeping up with traffic. and I thought to myself grandmas a badass.
haha, awsome.
Lmao
IKR my Granny used to ride us to Walmart in the L-88 Corvette, scared the dogshit outta me
Mine had a 62 fairlane with a 352 cleveland, not a very pretty car, but damn it would run!!
@@trumpetmano LOL!
I got my first car at 16 in 1971. A 1964 Galaxie 500XL, 427 FE, 4 speed, 456 posi, black on black. I paid $1,000 for it. I had a blast with this car in high school!
The one that got away
That car isn't pulling the wheels off the ground from a standstill, that is a fine piece of Ford history!
What do you mean
@@Fee.1 pretty sure he is hating on lowriders
07:58 ... 3 gears to get to 60 MPH... ???
@@BuzzLOLOL short shifting car will run 60 in 2nd
When the moon shine has GOT to be there on time.
This is excellent
Thanks for the car show next to a busy highway
Copperhead Road!
@@joevogliardo3131 Better than a car show on a busy highway.
1939/40 Ford Flathead V8 with a supercharger.Moonshine Express
My dad bought a brand new '64 Ford Galaxie XL with the 390. I was so proud of his car when he bought it.
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!
@@daleandrews3552 What impressed me so much was the fact these same cars (modified of course) raced at the Daytona Firecracker 400 each July 4th. My dad used to take me to those races each year and wow, what an event. So many great memories, great cars, great drivers.
From a big Mopar fan, this is special to see . Not surprised it sold in a week, super gorgeous bare bones killer, makes the rice rockets look like Leggo.
Makes pure mescaline seem like ginger beer-fear and loathing
I don’t care what someone as a fan of this goddamn thing is beautiful , dying looking at this and not owning one
@@jeremythompson9122 True, but I believe you are thinking of the Ford 427 SOHC Cammer. It's the one with the big heads and 4 valves per cylinder. This one is a 427 FE. Still pretty sweet. I love all makes, but especially the big blocks. 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.
It’s an original 352 car, and not an original 427 car.
@@davib7534 It doesn't have 4 valves per cylinder only. Its an ohc not dohc
That sound bleeds red ,white and blue.God i love America.
I had a 1963 1/2 XL with a 390 back in 1975. Still my favorite car. This is beautiful.
Man, that sound when you stand on it - stupendous!
My uncle had one of these back in '63. I was 14 at the time he took me for a ride in it and really got on the gas. I'll never forget that ride. I've had a lot of fast rides but that one stands out as unforgettable.
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!
I had a 62 Black Galaxy 500 XL with black buckets. 406, 4 speed, 3-2 barrels, 4:56 limited slip in 1965. Looked and sounded great!
Had a 63 fast back,,390 ..high school days of the past
You simply cannot beat the sound of these classic cares.
Sounds much like a go-fast boat. Love it.
My friend had a 63 1/2 Galaxy 500 fastback. I had a 63 Impala SS. This was in 1984 so even then nobody had cars like that. He had a 289 3 speed on the column, black with a red interior just like this one, so no matter what the motors were, to actually just own one of them was really great
Hell...when you rolled the vent window crank, that brought back memories. Those things were awesome!
Too - Too KEWL!!! ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL!!! Thank you for making this recording and posting it. Those were, indeed, the days!!
These were the cars of my childhood.
I finally got to have my dream cars
A Shelby Mustang
And a Shelby 427S/C.
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.
Sweet. I never had anything like this beast, but I was a junior in high school in 1968 and had a '63 Galaxie 500 XL 500 2 door with the original roof and factory bucket seats, automatic in the floor, dual glass pack exhaust, 352 engine and many of my friends wanting to buy it from me! Loved that car. Thanks for the memories.
Beautiful Classic in every sense of the word. It is wonderful that some collectors of classic big blocks were able to preserve both the factory 427 and 1963 Hardtop in perfect condition.
I am a real Ford Fan, this is a great example of a Blue Oval. Thank you for this great upload.
FORD, LINCOLN "KEEPING AMERICANS WORKING"
Every little town had a Ford dealer. The brother of our neighbor ran one in a tiny town in Coles county, IL. He special ordered a ‘63 Country Squire 9 passenger with the 427 dual 4bbl and 4 spd. tranny, through his brother’s dealership. Beautiful car. It had the blue XL interior with buckets too.
No one who races shift by tach, you shift by sound. Awesome car!!
“I’m totally doing that again.”
Me I totally doing that all day.
Well done video thanks.
Those FE motors were awesome 👍🏻
The later 429 and 460 was actually a better block, and weighed 75 pounds less somehow.
Many years ago while still in high school, a buddies dad bought him a brand new '63 Galaxie, two-door sedan (sleeper), 406, 4-speed. My buddy had the coolest dad in the world!
I wish they still made Ford's like this. Long gone are reliable badass race cars of yesterday. No computers no bullshit just all-out 427 Madness power. What an awesome example
I loved these cars when they first came out. I still love them.
Whenever I see one I always give the driver a thumbs up.
Now that's what I call a beautiful machine! Thanks for putting together a great video guys!
Beautiful car thank you for sharing it. Without you filming these we would never see them. I had a 64 for 18 years.. Keep taking the videos, there are plenty of us that may not comment but love what you do.
My goodness I'm DROOOOOLING!!! That is just incredible. You know some shine runners utilized this exact car. That exhaust tone is to die for. Damn I wish I had the scratch for that ride. Truly a dream bucket list check off.
Brings back great memories of the 64 Galaxie 2 door fastback 390 I had back in the late '60s.
That has to warrant a smile from we “ old timers “ . I’d sure like it in my garage .
My first car was a 69' Buick LeSabre. My second car was a 62' Ford Galaxy, black exterior and red interior.
Won't ever forget my father buying his 64, same Color scheme, Black out, Red In..... My dream Car!
Now that is one STUNNING motor vehicle! Who cares if it's been modded... after all, they are period correct mods. It is absolutely perfect.
My God that's beautiful! One of my favorite Fords from the '60's. I really love these '63 Galaxie's and black with red guts and that running gear is perfection!
Great looking '63 Galaxie Ranch Wagon running around Portland, Oregon. Dropped just a bit and it is just stunning! I like the high quality interior that was available in this era Galaxie. Love the insides of early '60's Pontiac's too and would also love to get a '62 Catalina 421 SD.
421s were bad ass too!!
Wow! Nice car. This took me back to my memories as a young boy growing up in the 60's. I remember when my brother-in-law was dating my sister back then (she was 12 years older) in a red 1963 Galaxy. My younger brother and I would sneak up on them while they were in the car making out. What a hoot that was.
Thanks for sharing this.
If Darth Vader needed a car, this would be the one.
He traded this in...and got a HEMI
Hello all, seeing the comments wow! Yes it originally was a 352, but it is a real deal FE motor stuffed in there. It is as hotrod as it gets for the 60s. It sold within 1 week of listing it up. 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. I built this company from Nothing and if you have to dislike and tell me how to film my cars, I think you should go buy some of my inventory and show me how to do it properly :-).
good for you dude fuck em
BulletmotorsportsInc Darth Vader's personal hot rod, Lol.
Seriously though, that is one bad-ass, sinister looking ride right there. Great job, bro. Screw those idiots, they're jealous.
Well said. I envy you for sure.
Very nice car. I’d sure love to have it. Screw the haters. Most of them couldn’t afford an original 427 Galaxie, anyway. Some of them probably drive a mimi van or their mom’s Camry.
No need to be so petty. You are listing on a publically available site. So you are open to public comment good or bad.
Ahhh, the memories..... I spent my youth cruising around in my '63 1/2 500 XL - white w/ red interior. It only had the 289, but it was great!
Me too. Loved that 63 1/2 body. (even with a 289) lol.
Love those Ford's! In 1975 I bought a 427 with a rod broken on the small end and wrapped around it's neighbor wedged between the counter weights... rebuilt it at Junior College auto shop..stuffed it in my blue and white 59 Galaxy with a three speed and overdrive...scattered that tranny on the first full power run. 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!!!
Oops! Typo...1965!
My brothers first car '63 boxtop Galaxy and I'm pretty sure a 260 V8 it was a dog
man, what a beauty, whoever bought this car is a lucky person
Amazing the people selling cars like this who don't know much about them, this guy is an example!
Oh you you know so much. Thanks for your input. Douche bag
I have a picture of my father as a young lad standing in front of a brand new Ford Galaxy that was my grandparents first new car!. It was the same color etc etc.. 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.. Anyways wish me luck on this task and I thank you for sharing this with us all!. 🙏🙏🙏
Thanks for investing your time to shoot and edit such a video. Well presented and built from interesting parts!
.....sheds a tear for everyone of the 390 cubic inches of my 69 Galaxie Fastback 500. Gone but not forgotten.
The 69 fastback was an aggressively handsome car, even with a 302.
@@@tomadkins2866, One of the best things is that, even today, it's unusual to find it on anyone's list of "if I could afford it I'd buy .........". I always had a lots of comments like, "it's a nice looking car but it's no (insert obligatory 60's muscle cars here)" or "You spent a lot of time on minor rust....eration for a Galaxy".
I had a 1962 Galaxie 500 XL with the 406 V8, 4 Speed and 3 two barrel carbs, in 1968, loved running that 4 speed through the gears.
Had 65 w427 s/o conv.man do I miss that car ..folks today rarely have a clue on the skill it took to handle these Beasts..let alone the mech ingenuity to build one ..today watch a vid Google n put a tuner in n your good ..not back then ...Skills n brains ..what a concept
I bought a 1963 1/2 Galaxie 500 fastback in 1986 the year after I graduated high school. Black with Black interior 390 with a three on the tree. I put in a four speed in it and some traction bars and it would scoot . I've had a lot of good times in it over the years and I still own it and I'll never sell it.
my friend has a 63 1 /2 ... black on red, 427 cu with 2 - 4 barrel carbs, factory 4 speed and it only has little over 23,000 miles too. original paint and interior. Telling you guys, its something to look at up close and hear running. Beautiful ride !!
Thank you for the wonderful video and sound! This is as close as most of us will ever get to experiencing one of these vehicles, so keep em coming :)
That sound is addictive. Love to hear it at redline.
Oh that car just made my heart skip a beat. 😍😍😍😍. I'm in love.
My favorite engine of all time! Galaxies were my Ford of all time! Shelby cobra 427 of 63! Watch out big time!
Thx for the ride dude. Not often on youtube do you see people driving a car like that as it should be driven. Many are just show and Sunday drives to the grocery store.
Absolutely beautiful and she's all Ford ❤️
Jonathan, thanks for the video bud. Awesome car and excellent narrative. This is my generation car and I have been a gear banger all my life. Your shifting is just fine. If anything, you had more horsepower than roadway. Keep up the good work, brother. Cheers!
dmc0942 thanks!
Awesome car. I would have been 15 when this puppy came out. Never noticed them until late 67. Always wanted one but then, I always wanted ANYTHING that had some real balls and beauty!
Owned my 1st car, 62 Ford station wagon 352 motor (our family car).
Wow the body parts and interior of this Galaxy really bring backs some beautiful memories. ❤
Absolutely Stunning looking 63"Ford Galaxie With big balls love the tail lights on these BEAUTIFUL LOOKING Car's Sounds great too Pretty Slick Car' best Wishes from the UK thanks for the Video!
Wow! it looks like my Dad's Galaxy! he had that thing running like a stock car. we loved to go with him on the race tracks around Detroit.
Beautiful big block Galaxy. That would be a beast on the highway
I drive a Chevy but I have always appreciated the Fords , Chryslers and AMCs . I am in the engine machine shop business and get to work on some really cool stuff . Can't even begin to list all of the engines I have rebuilt .
That is one really cool Galaxie , would love to drive it . One of my friends has a 1969 stepside pickup with a 427 SCJ in it , it is one wicked ride .
That is one AWESOME FORD 👍👍👍👍👍
1963. What a great time to be a young guy.
Until you got drafted and sent to 'Nam.
Yeah that's the one thing that really sucked about that time William.@@williamkeith8944
Big Bill O'Reilly.... I was a young guy in the '60s but I couldn't afford a car until '74 when I bought a 1964 Galaxie 500 (289, AC, Etc.) with 32K miles in MINT condition (except for the cracked head, heads in the trunk) for $50. Still miss that one.
unless you were black, gay, atheist, got drafted, etc....
Frigglebiscuit yeah well those are things you would want to be normally besides black but just in case you didn’t know not everywhere was racist bud
thank for giving us a pull around the 7min mark. I had insta-grin for a moment lol!
Nice car. I like how the hood release is designed within the grill logo ornament. Well cared for.
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.
Nothing sounds like those big old ford mills!
David h must know a lot about gay stories to make such a stupid comment
What a DUMASS thing to say
Put down the video game get out of your mommies basement and go become a “real boy”
@David H.
Don’t worry about it FuKsTiK
It’s how your mom spells it when she describes you and your metro lifestyle 💋
first thing i would add is disc brakes and a dual power master, so i could drive it and live to remember it.
OMG I was thinking the same thing! I’ve driven some old single circuit drum brake cars and even when they’re “right” it’s still terrifying to drive ... especially when you have big power sitting up front.
@@whodahellru8124 True dat, the stock brakes would glaze up like a dozen Krispy Kremes... been there, done that, got the shit scared outta more than once!
stop driving like an idiot that needs big disk brakes then.
Frigglebiscuit tell that to the person who cuts you off or runs a traffic signal after you’ve been heating up your brakes in stop and go traffic!
@@whodahellru8124 disk brakes ain't gonna save you from that either. most people can't brake work a fuck anyway, and lock the disk brakes up. abs modules always fail too.
Amazing car, I don't normally dream so big but that car would be on my wish list ! I am a Ford guy and own a GT Mustang, but I was born in 1963 and Yup this car is special. Love it.
That repair is right where our 63 Ford Galaxy 500 rusted out. Its a water trap (1 of many on these old Galaxies) and had to be fixed on ours multiple times.
THE best looking FORD of the '60s, '70s, 80's ... aw heck ... Best looking FORD since 1958 ...
Yea, not many could go bare bones and look this good. I personally like the 59 Fairlane 500 Galaxie. Best looking interior ever. I could also take any from then to 71. Love them all. But none except the 64 would look as good as this 63 bare bones.
Tonetwisters I personally like the 64
1961 Ford looked good as well. There was a sky blue Fairlane in the family long ago I still recall riding in.
“Before you were even born”. He definitely doesn’t know when I was born. 😀 if my smiley face had wrinkles it would look more like me.
Ya heck. Every Sunday, me and my with 5 siblings went to church in a 1960 Ford Galaxy. Brown over white. Spinner hub caps, straight six, three in the tree, no power anything.
My older friend had one. He invented the Tarantula twisted intake where the carbs sit a little sideways. He ended up as head mechanic for Mercury Marine after working on the newer corvette engines. Quite the innovator. It was a wheel stander and the car I learned to drive in. What a ride, he usually ran Cheater Slicks on the street for cheating.
A dream the youngsters will never forget🤯
Stylish memorable roofline as well
Sweet. I had a 63 Galaxy w/factory tri-power 406 back in the early 70s. 140 mph top end and about 9 mpg. average. : )
One of my favorite cars back then. I saw a 63 406 tri-power sedan black and I liked it better than the 427 fastback. I heard the 406 motors didn't last long because they were bored out 390s? I suppose the 406 was Ford's answer to the Chevy 409.
Nice to get a driver to really show what it will do.
Was 8 years old when my Dad came home one day with a brand new 63 Ford Galaxie 500 he bought for my Mom. He bought it off the showroom at Frank Dore Ford in Whittier, CA. It was a floor shift automatic with a 390 engine and bucket seats. That car stayed in the family over 30 years and was a hot rod the whole time.
The overall shape and lines of this car making this car a beautiful machine. Definetly a dreamcar!!!!
That is one bad ass Ford! Video's fine brother, keep'em coming, 🇺🇸 MERICA
beautiful and one of the best motors made,
That's the most beautiful thing ever made.
Even as a chevy guy i gots to say this thing is vicious!
You just made my dream car that is the perfect car I love those cars😍😍😍🚗
That is one sweet ride, would love to own it
It is so great. You are a lucky man. This is the most greatest car that I have never seen... Congratulations from Ecuador.
Grew up with these cars ruling the streets. Impalas and the Mopars and the 500's dang, want those days back
LOL! My 5th-grade teacher - Mr. Zawacki - at Paul L Best Elementary on Rosewood Blvd in Oak Park, Michigan - had one of these. Oh, the memories...
He was a true bad ass
That's too much engine for the faculty parking lot.........
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
Underrated 2 4's was about 475 HP.
Sweet. One of my favorite cars. And you stuck THE motor in it it deserves. Four speed with rear locker and you kept it looking stock. Salute. Good work ! I would have bought it from you, and I don't even know what you sold it at. Might be in contact with you and see if you want to build another.
Now, that's a classic I can respect. So clean and all business. :)
Absolutely beautiful!
Incredible deep paint and one of my favorite engines too. Long ago at a race engine machine shop where I worked we had a 427 Fairlane Thunderbolt engine for some work and it had "the best" parts in it, including lightweight stainless intake valves and Sodium cooled stainless exhaust valves. It was what I call a "lust object".
The Thunderbolts were equipped with the 427 “high riser” engine. Very special for sure.
Deep paint on a '64 Ford? ROFLMAO. Yeah. It's as "deep" as an FE is "fast".
So it had the typical truck motor exhaust valves like all Ford-Edsel truck motors regardless of the "performance level". A "lust object" ? Were you "driving" a skateboard at the time?
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
I had a 63 Comet station wagon in dark blue. It had a 260 V8 and a 2 speed automatic. I loved that car and still think it was one of the coolest vehicles I've ever owned
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.
Talk about having to "work around" an individual!
