Danny - not a necessary comment (please review site rules wrt commenting on "for sale" items). If the supposed puddle was not there, are you a buyer?

Sam, I think Danny was concerned about the risk of a fire, not finding fault with the car. He is not that kind of guy.
Buddy

thanks for chiming in - good to hear. I retract my comment if that is the case. Just don't want to see cars for sale being bashed over little items particularly when they are easy fixes.

Just observant? Nothing wrong with that ... could be just water from rinsing down the motor for the pictures ... TAZ

NP guys, yes good observation on the fuel....car does a lot of sitting, periodic starting and takes a bit to get the gaskets to seal up.....survivor to the 10th degree .

OK Sam....down boy, down!! Stand Down!!

Might I humbly suggest changing title to "1963-1/2 Galaxie 500 R-code" to properly motivate the Ford faithful? Kind of like "68 Camero" vs "68 Camaro L78". GLWS��

Great idea.....appreciate all the advise on this

Ill ask Steve to change it!

Thank you and happy holidays

427 Registry
 

I have looked at the 427 Galaxie Registry and this car is not listed in that registry. The owner can have the car added to the registry by submitting a pic of the door data plate and a pic of the VIN tab next to the right hood hinge to Dave Walters at the 427 Galaxie Registry here, http://www.427galaxieregistry.com/registeryourcar.html

I have shared this ad to a couple of Galaxie pages. This is a very nice original car that I would like to spend a couple of hours with just taking notes. I love it, I just cant afford one in survivor form though.

Always had a soft spot for the big body muscle cars of the 60's. That R code is a major sleeper in Champagne.
I had a 1960 Chrysler 300F for 15 years, loved that boat. From the GM camp the big Pontiacs are the best, like Charlies 1966 Bonneville.

On a bit of a side note here as I have never driven one of the Ford 427 cars.........are they about equal to the Chevy 427-425 in the zip department? Just wondering
