A complete, and accurate, frame-off restoration on an actual "G" code Ford. This '62 Galaxie was Ford's choice to compete in the NHRA A/FX class. This car was the production/homologation version of Ford's first all-out effort in the super stock wars. This production version of the '62 Galaxie is powered by the famous Thunderbird 406 which has 405hp and 448 ft/lbs of torque. This super powerplant features 11.4:1 compression, solid lifter camshaft, factory cast iron headers and 3 Holley 2-barrel carburetors. A Borg-Warner T-10 close ratio 4-speed transmission puts the 405hp to a 9" Ford Traction-Lok rear end with factory 4.11 gears. Finished in Wimbledon White with Mist Green interior and upgraded with American Racing Torque Thrust wheels for that period-correct look. This car is a stunning example of the early '60s super cars that thundered down the quarter mile. Autographed by Dennis Gage of "My Classic Car". A rare example of one of Ford's rarest drivetrains. Less than 79,000 original miles.
