My neighbor had a Springtime Yellow 64 Galaxie with a 61 390 and 4 speed. That car was vicious! His granddaughter was in the same grade as me and he enjoyed talking us to school in it. It had a 9 inch with leafs. He put the 427 long tubes with purple hornies and pipes out in front of rear wheels. That car was really gnarly. Her brother had a 65 Galaxie with the same engine and trans later. I rebuilt it for him. It had C0AE-D heads on it and whoever had it before put 2.11/1.6 valves in it and thinking about it the intake stems were 5/16 stem and flat faced. The factory may have done it. The left header had to be changed, so the guy who had them bought a 64 and they just traded, and they were perfect and the stainless pipes bolted right up, but Rick left off the mufflers and I put a 2x4,MR intake and a pair of Ford number carbs. A C8AX-D cam, solid and the matching springs. It idled so raunchy. The rpm was 1250, both carbs had T slots, and it was raunchy, but smooth. I t was dark green and a teardrop hood , it was a MR not a HR, but at 396 cubes, it would take a 375 hp 396 Chevelle. This Galaxie was really fast.
I'm a huge Ford fan and this not only wet my appetite it left me wanting more! The body work and panel fit was just perfect. Twin turbo 1000hp - W-H-A-T!?! If I had a spare half mil laying around that's the car I'd spend it on. Just great content Shawn, another home run!
I usually prefer original restorations of vehicles but this Ford is unbelievable! What a fantastic car. The turbo sound and the exhaust note during acceleration is one of a kind. Excellent job!!
The '64 Galaxy is one of the best looking cars to ever come out of the 60's. Add some of Ford's coolest stuff like a SOHC motor (enhanced with twin turbos) with tear drop hood and then Men In Black will be knocking on your door, zapping you with that memory thing and driving off with it before you can say "J" or "K".
I used to have a '63. Both the '63 and '64 are great looking cars, IMHO. The quality on them was amazing for a car in their price range. Ford had started a quality program in '60 and by the '63/'64 models it was really good. I you do not think so, compare them to a Chevy or Plymouth of the same years.
Much respect to those who were gifted with the ability to restore and straighten out old rides. Its like creating art or singing...not everyone can do it. Im not talking building motors im talking body work...beautiful beast of a car
Badass!!! Always been a huge 427 side oiler fan hence the old ford cars. Two dream cars is a cobra or a 67 fairlane, with a 427! A galaxy is up there on the list as well. When i was 12 years old i rode in an original 427 cobra!!! That was in 1977, lol but this old ford in video is an absolute beast!
My 64 had a 289 3 speed auto that was given to me at 14 back in 74 with a blown head gasket, we fixed it and it was my mom's car until I hit 16, I do miss that car
Saw this one on Sema last year.. The whole package is sick. A galaxy wich you don't find on any street corner. Then throw in an ultra rare cammer motor. And if thats not enough, put on a pair of turbo's 😍
@@AutotopiaLA Totally agree. It was even a little dusty wich i almost found a little sad. Like it was just a spot they had left over for the car. Keep up the nice vids and greetings from Holland.
I am a GM guy ( I own a 64 Rivie) but the more I see Fords like this the more I am liking it. Those big meats in the back are killer and I love the dog too.
I love the look and sound, now if I could get one with a modern fuel injection, hydraulic disk breaks front and back, modern power steering, modern sealed battery, everything run off a serpentine belt, turbo charged, super charged and posi trac or duel rear wheel drive and rust resistant aluminum frame and body : ) am I asking to much ; ) The first car I drove, as a 13 year old, in 1969, was my old man's 64 galaxy 352 v-8. He decided, after I stole a 68 Pontiac and crashed it, I better learn how to drive. Those cars were beautiful but you had to be, ( by today's standards) a mechanic to keep them running. Routinely check and keep spare hoses, clamps, check and service battery, engine oil, transmission oil, coolant, spare thermostat, check timing, (have timing light) carry tools, spare air filter etc. et'al. Just from memory, I'm missing a ton of stuff, I know, tire pressure gauge, patch kit, the list never ends, and for God sake, don't forget -Any- seals when rebuilding the carburetor !!! Those were the days, if you were a piston head and had a place and time to work on em, but most people had to go to work and didn't have time to fool with a broken down car. Love the video and trip down memory lane : )
What a beauty. Andy and Barney could get around Mayberry in style with this slick ride. The new modern instrument panels are sharp looking and a very cool touch. I like them in a lot of the old cars.
Man, that land yacht just oozes power.....in all my years around hot cars I've only gotten to really look over a SOHC one time. What an engine! I wish that they would have gotten serious at Ford about this engine and made a zillion of them. Many times I've wondered if a gear drive for the cams would have been a much better set up for this engine. I suppose that the cost to produce these SOHC engines must have been astronomical even back in the day. Ahhhh.....what could have been...... Beautiful and powerful rig. Thanks so much for posting! That paint looks a mile deep.
Saw this car in the movie Legend for the first time the other night and was over the moon about it i mistook it for a thunderbird and its kinda ironic because my next door neighbor owned one of these just in a baby blue which didn't really have much of an effect on me but man in black especially with the black wheels and chrome caps it makes it look sinister ... this one you got here is a beast, can't even imagine how much money it took to get this thing built ... thanks for sharing.
@@dac14612 never met the guy.... i work in entertainment and i know what you are talking about...but there was a time where no one was showing car culture and he is all we had. now with so much out there I turn to this for the good content
That’s one bad ass Ford Galaxie! Very similar to the Ford Thunderbolt which I love both of them! They are big but powerful for the size and weight of both cars.
Hey Shawn, this is the Ford featured briefly in the Motor4toys 2018 video. Sure sounds wicked! Say, to lighten up the car, maybe the Speedcore guy's could add a carbon fiber front end, hood, doors and trunk. Keep the vids coming!
Yeah, that was when I finally met Jim and asked him to shoot with us. With this kind of power he didn’t seem worried about the weight. Some carbon would always be cool though.
1964 Galaxies are one of the most beautiful cars in the world. Having grown up around them my whole life and my father owning many 64 Verts I'm certainly bias. Ive owned two 64 Galaxies and I regret selling them everyday. Next. One will be coming soon
Hey Shawn another awesome show- I'm Chevrolet all the way but this thing is badass wicked. Good body style- the big 3 all made good looking rides in the 60s 👍👍👍

That has to be the sickest Galaxie on the planet.
Ford Cammer engine with twin turbos is a WIN!
Auto Fanatic agreed. Big win.
With a GM tranny... LOL!

'67 Galaxie was also beautiful
I'm a 63 guy myself
Best videos, simple, straight info, no unnecessary talk, no crap content, honest and genuin just how it should be
Thank you. We’re enthusiasts so that’s what we show. I promise you have no interest watching us eat lunch or be jack asses.
Not gonna lie, I see a SOHC motor I click the like button.
👊
The teardrop hood doesn't hurt either
instablaster.
Yup
I love my 64 galaxie. Couldn’t imagine having that beast. But I still get thumbs up everywhere I go. Plus I never see more than a few at car shows!
Not much of a Ford guy but...hot damn that’s beautiful
You don’t have to be a Ford guy for this one, just a car guy.
The only thing Ford on it are the badges...at least it'll last.
Yeah, not much of a 'Ford', either... even a GM tranny...
this is the reason why ford guys are ford guys and not chevy guys!!
Shawn C -everything about it is Ford fuck head
This 64 galaxie is the best ive ever seen! I own a 63 galaxie and never really was into the 64's look but this car changed my mind!
I used to have a '63. Both the '63 and '64 are great looking cars, IMHO. The quality on them was amazing for a car in their price range.

Thank you for bringing this Shawn. Im a big fan of Fords, especially the Galaxy who i have one of here in Brazil. So sick car man.
You’re welcome! I love this Galaxie. Such a killer build. More to come from those guys in the future.
What a beautiful beast!
The fit and finish inside and out, is beyond perfection.
Agreed. Details and power are all there.
The stance on this car is amazing
Totally agree. Sits so right.
Any muscle car with rear thick fat tires makes my mouth drool.
I’m with you! This is as big as it gets
Wanna stop over ill put that to good use lol
I thought I saw all the videos on Autotopia and then THIS car shows up as a suggestion! WHAT a car!! WOW!
WOW!!!! This should just be called "BIG BAD"... that's it. Exceptional build. Thanks Shawn for sharing this stunning Galaxie
Glad you appreciate this one. I love this build and of course...the dog!!
EVERY ford should have that THUNDERBOLT hood as standard equipment. back in the 60's it was THE distinctive ford hood !
I’ve got to hand it to you Shawn, you keep finding these completely amazing cars.......incredible car, keep up the great work brother!
The search never ends and luckily for us So Cal is bottomless for great vehicles. This thing is such a killer build!
Twin turbo CAMMER!!!!! The real cammer!!!! WOW! Amazing fab work. Turned out unbelievable! Bones Fab.......A+ guys!
Agreed. They do really amazing work.
Much respect to those who were gifted with the ability to restore and straighten out old rides. Its like creating art or singing...not everyone can do it. Im not talking building motors im talking body work...beautiful beast of a car
Totally agree. It’s a real talent to do metal work like this.
All that fine machinery and I spotted a Pinto up on the lift. That was my first car in high school.
I had to give him trouble about that one. Jim said it's mint and super low mileage. I still can't help but say "it's a Pinto!!"
Man, I LOVE the looks of this car, especially from the rear...one mean looking machine!
It is evil and I love it 👊
A beautiful piece of work
Epic and insane ! If this car doesn't make you growl when you smile you are a zombie!!
😂 great comment!!
would take a 63,5 lightweight Galaxie over this any day
@@64fairlane305 Maybe,, Even a thunderbolt, but wake up, your coffee is boiling.
God has a Ford just like this. What a piece of work. A two cammer with turbos! BAD ASS!!!!The 64 Galaxie is one of the coolest bodies ever!
Ford car Ford power..thank the lord...🤤🤤🤤
Amen to that
It's not ford lol
Damn, GM transmission's in everything.
At 1:32 the guy states not one ford part.
Uhhh...no Ford parts. Must be why it's still running.
The whine of the turbos and that big block rumble make me happy.
You and me both
Stance, wheel tire, turbo and tear drop hood= awesome.
Agreed. Really a unique quality badass build
My lord let me win the lottery so I can buy this car. Unbelievable! !!! 1st class work
I'm right there with you. Curious to see what it sells for this week in AZ???
If i win it here in Australia, i will buy this for you.but you will have to rodger me for it.
like everyone else says..... this car is beyond sick.... IN EVERY WAY
MAN WHAT AN INCREDIBLE CAR, I LOVED IT. CONGRATULATIONS FOR SHOWING THIS WONDER TO US. HUGS FROM BRAZIL!
Absolutely one of the most beautiful and bad ass muscle cars I've ever seen. Perfect!
Totally agree. The Bones Fab guys nailed this build. Killer car!!
Bring this dude back on the channel!
More to come from Jim & Bones Fab. He’s a cool guy and his builds are badass
Twin turbo in an old school ride? Sign me up!
Hell yes!!
Badass!!! Always been a huge 427 side oiler fan hence the old ford cars. Two dream cars is a cobra or a 67 fairlane, with a 427! A galaxy is up there on the list as well. When i was 12 years old i rode in an original 427 cobra!!! That was in 1977, lol but this old ford in video is an absolute beast!
Those turbos whistling sounds so good. 👍👍🔥🔥
Dream car sweet Jesus that engine is amazing
Isn’t it stunning. Such a great build.
Man you guys know cool. This galaxy is evil looking. Thanks for the great video!!!
Thank you. Saw this at sema a few years back and it knocked me out. Such a cool creative build
I would love to have that ride!
Twin turbo cammer, count me in!
Nice 👍 427 at least you guys know where the power is! 🍻 good job 👍
Such a cool motor in this car. Would love to feel it running hard.
My first car was a 64 Galaxie 500 w/police intercepter and a cruise-o-matic 2speed transmission. That was in 1977. I am glad someone built one.
Cool. Yeah, this is a killer build. Love this car!!
My 64 had a 289 3 speed auto that was given to me at 14 back in 74 with a blown head gasket, we fixed it and it was my mom's car until I hit 16, I do miss that car

Yep. Couldn’t believe it was parked in the hall at SEMA. This should’ve been in the Battle of the Builders and received way more attention.
@@AutotopiaLA Totally agree. It was even a little dusty wich i almost found a little sad. Like it was just a spot they had left over for the car.
Keep up the nice vids and greetings from Holland.
Thanks for joining in from Holland!
I feel like the Galaxie is the big brother to the Falcon. I love this car. It's absolutely amazing!!
It’s such a cool style and build. Love this car.
DUH the Galaxys also the BIG brother to the Fairlane!
Man that Galaxie is a pure bad boy mate.
It really is. Love this build!
Wow that is a dream car!
I agree. Such a badass!

They’re very cool vehicles
In awe of this vehicle ! Of all the bad ass cars showcased on this great channel, this is my dream car. Forever a Ford fan !
It’s such a cool build. I’m stoked we got to shoot it and hopefully we can shoot his Camaro next. Thanks for continuing to be here with us.
That is a real clean and mean machine very well done 👍

Thanks and I totally agree. This is a special build. Unique.
Gorgeous Galaxie. The sohc 427 belongs in this car with Bonehead behind the wheel !
Totally agree! Loved having Bonehead rolling with us. I don’t think he liked me taking his seat though.
Lo e visto mas de 10 veces que hermoso ford galaxy gracias autotopia 😎✌💪💪Saludos desde Córdoba Argentina 🏁

Amazing build! Good to see the builder didn’t completely ruin it with a Chevy motor👍
CHEVY NEVER built a MOTOR back then , NOR did Chrysler that Could Touch the Original factory Version of the FORD 427 SOHC !
Keep the shows coming..... the shows are my replacement for my classic cars with Dennis Gage
met Dennis Gage so full of himself , wouldn't watch his show for anything

That’s one bad ass Ford Galaxie! Very similar to the Ford Thunderbolt which I love both of them! They are big but powerful for the size and weight of both cars.
Yeah, really cool approach to building a Galaxie. I’ve never seen anyone do a pro touring version. This is a total badass!
Kind of funny but I never liked any of these types of cars but now as I am aging I am really starting g to love them. This car is a piece of Art.
This is total artistry with a bunch of horsepower.
Hey Shawn, this is the Ford featured briefly in the Motor4toys 2018 video. Sure sounds wicked! Say, to lighten up the car, maybe the Speedcore guy's could add a

Absolutely awesome ride, wow 427 sohc with 2x75mm turbos!! Bones is super cool dude and Bonehead🐶...perfect touch🤣
Total badass! That was such a fun shoot!!
this is my personal favourite so far
Awesome! It’s a killer build. I love this car.
One of the most impressive cars ever. Such attention to detail, turbo SOHC....it doesn't get better than that.
That engine is BIG money right there.
Sure is. This whole build is pretty amazing to me
I Love this Car. My brothers each have one right now. and my Dad Had a brand new one in 1964.
Very cool👊 I love this build.
So beautiful Shawn. Love the doggie cruzing as well.
Thanks. Yeah, Bonehead (the dog) made the video that much better. Can’t wait to shoot more with these guys.
I think this is one of the best under rated cars ford made as far as looks is just pimp
DAMN YOU GUYS NAILED IT. THIS IS A BAD ASS GALAXIE.😎
incredible car they should have tried to keep the original Center column with all the Chrome those are beautiful as well
That is one sweet neat sleeper.
1964 Galaxies are one of the most beautiful cars in the world. Having grown up around them my whole life and my father owning many 64 Verts I'm certainly bias. Ive owned two 64 Galaxies and I regret selling them everyday. Next. One will be coming soon
Beautiful!!!...Oh...yeah...DON'T CRASH IT. 👍👍
Always liked the Galaxy, had a 64 myself once. This is what my dream of it would turn out to be. Nice work
This thing is so damn cool and you gotta love Bonehead wanting time be in the mix 😂
Such a fantastic build has to be the best galaxy 500 ever
.. Lovely recovery, OMG😱.. CONGRATS GUY 💪🙏🎯
Hey Shawn another awesome show- I'm Chevrolet all the way but this thing is badass wicked. Good body style- the big 3 all made good looking rides in the 60s 👍👍👍
Thank you. You just gotta love this build. Total gangster car with serious power.
Badass! One day... one day....
Great workmanship
HEKTIC458 agreed. Really clean work all around. Love this build
The finest example of a galaxy restomod ever built
Just wow. That’s so sick. Love everything about it. Looks perfect. 😎
Totally agree Ross. Killer build!
Gorgeous Galaxy with the cammer engine 🔥❤❤❤👍😎
Seriously cool build and that engine is badass!
Well done and of course black is the best color.
That ride is beautiful! I want!!!
That spooling sound on the turbos is fn badass!
That is absolutly perfect
Gheez! Almost 1/2 million dollars. It boggles the mind.
Wow. This Ford looks good and is a superb build. I'd love to own it but am short about $500,000.
