'63-'67 ford/mercury 427 "r" cars

Nice, but correct wheels might add $10K to the value.

this is no doubt mike schmitt. he ran 2 cars in 66 and almost doubled up(win and r/u) @ bristol in 66.

 

There were no automatic 406 cars. Tell your buddy to sell the 406 car to someone who appreciates it and buy something else to screw up....

 

I have a 1964 ford galaxie 500 XL convertible R-code that needs to be restored its in wisconsin and for sale

 

Put pictures of it on the Cars For Sale portion of this site. You'll get calls and messages, trust me.

Thanks Falconred for checking anyway, just say your post.

 

I found the entry list of the 1965 NHRA Winternationals. Car number 796 was a 1965 Ford driven by Doug Butler from Ridgecrest CA. That same entry list shows Mike Schmidt driving car number 740. Both cars are Desert Motors Inc entries.

 

interesting.....i have a pic somewhere of mike running this car(796). i never knew butler actually raced! learned something new! the guy in the car looks to be pretty tall. butler was no more than 5'7" and mike was 6'4". butler owned desert motors. dad was working for him when he met mike. dad bought our b/fx mustang(originally run by ed terry) from butler.

 

Take another look see.

 

Where did he get the baby blue 64? I had a low mile 6 banger one I sold to a guy back east around 2003-4. He was going to do like a lightweight clone with it.

 

Hi, just see this thread , I'm more a 62/65 mopar guy but also love Fomoco products from those years.I wanted to share a pic I've bought on Ebay some time ago , even if the emblem read 406 I think you may enjoy it.

 

Great thread guys !! Brings back a lot of memory's. I was 5 years to late

 

Never say never.....especially with early 60's performance cars. Lots of one offs and special orders, though not nearly as many as all the stories out there.

Here's a link to the LoveFords site from last year, showing a '62 XL 406/405HP w CRUISE O MATIC auto trans....

Just a few cars I photographed down in Georgia a couple weeks ago.

 

A couple Fairlanes too.

 

Was that the Moonshine Run?

 

Some new paint for mine

 

Anyone remember the story on the lightweights where they drove the same cars around the building and brought them back through the finish line to be counted again? Supposedly there were considerably fewer made than Ford claimed.

 

That was Talladega's not Galaxies.

 

Dillman brothers (Steve, Mike, Scott & Tommy D.) 63' 427 Ford at Tri-state dragway in Cincy. Ulrey brothers prepared.

 

Bump for the early crowd.

 

Here's a really nice '63 R code that runs all over my area here in SW Ontario. SWEET CAR!!! (note the licence plate)

 

Woops! Man, those pics is huge! Normal size pics:

 

Go to edit on the huge pictures and delete them. Your other pictures are the correct size and look nice.
