Bettlejuice, if that just had the 427 Bird, (and the XL quarter embelm) it was a dead ringer for my SOHC powered 64. Very Nice! Eric
Much appriciated! I'm cleaning up the body on it now, it was a 10 footer, but I'm gonna get things good and smooth and lay down a fresh black BC/CC, I can't wait! Just finished up redoing electrical and a fresh interior (need to take some pictures, I put some work into the interior, gotta make a couple fixes first), had to do clutch/flywheel before that, you can't keep me outta that car, I drive it everywhere, drum brakes and lumpy motor in the rain! There's only certain cars that with a basic black paint job, factory stance, black wheels and dog dishes make you think "hum, that thing might be a bit serious", but the Galaxies definitely are. Right now I have no bird to speak of . I need new emblems and was gonna wait til I finished painting, technically I'll be a 390 bird (unless I find some good deals in the local papers! I may've just found a 65 Mustang rear for the A cheap!)
Damn it man, I understand to many projects at once. The steels and dog dish look is the best! Going after the same thing. Best to you, and I can't wait to see more! Eric
It's a 390 4-speed car. He recently rebuilt the 390, added a cam, Performer RPM intake, and Demon carb. The T-10 is also recently rebuilt and he is in the process of going through the rear end. It'll soon have a posi and 3.70 gears! Runs pretty damn good and it IS a great looking car. He also just installed a bigger sway bar in the front and will be adding one at the rear...
I don't know how "Cool" this picture is, but it is me and my '63 that I bought from the original owner for $100. Four door, Four barrel 390 all original. The lady I bought it from was a friend of my moms, I told he 25 years ago that if she ever wanted to get rid of the car to come see me.
Malcome, Your car looks great. Great stance, and those classic lines of the early Galaxie's. Nice Job!
Thanks... if you are referring to the '62 in my avatar The '63-1/2 that I posted the photo of is owned by a friend of mine... great looking car!
Malcolm, Any of the 61 to 64's are cool. 62's are sure coming on in popularity. Keep us updated! Eric
The first '63 1/2 Fastback I ever saw, was sitting in the showroom at Buddy NeSmith Motors in Cochran, Georgia. I walked around that Wimbelton white with red interior beauty, studying it from every angle. To my young eyes, this was a real work of art. They have withstood the test of time.
This has to be one of the coolest '63 I have ever seen. A '63 doesn't need much to knock down the walls.
A buddy of mine had a pretty neat '63 Sedan lowered in the rear 60's style w/Cragars and whitewalls, shaved w/ panel flames on the lower front fenders. Everywhere he went he got at least one "Hey nice Chevy" comment. HAHA
