There was a girl in my school, extraordinarily beautiful whose Daddy had a yellow 64 Ford Galaxy, 4dr. hard top. When she drove it I thought it was a beautiful combination. The car was in my opinion one of the best looking cars ever.
Hers had a 352 with a four barrel. Not all that fast but not awful either. If it was a 64, I think yours would have been a 427. I had a 65 Olds Delta 88 with a 425 rocket V-8. A great car.
I think it was a 425, at least that is what the guy that bought it for a race car said it was.
I never knew until I went to the auto parts store for a new carb, the carb for a 352 wouldn’t fit, but it had 352 valve covers.
That car had NO top end! At about 125 it would start floating all over the road, but it had pedal left.
It was pretty fast, but it still had the crappy station wagon transmission.
If you search enough you will find that the 64 Ford police inceptor 427 was really a 425 and it was made for racing only.
