Default 64 Ford Galaxie 427

I came across the remains of a 1964 red/red Galaxie today. It was a manual trans. The door tag and vin are still there. The door tag says rear end code 4 trans 1. The junyard wrote in yellow marker 427 4x2 on the hood. Motor and trans are gone. Is there a way to find out if this was a factory 427 car? Does it have any value as a rusty incomplete car? Earl

I will have to go back and check out the vin. Did not write it down. Just looked at the door tag. Earl

It should have an "R" in the door jamb tag and also on the firewall passenger side will have a stamped tag that is part of the firewall. "Q' is a 427 410 HP single 4 barrell...BKH

The tag is still on the firewall. Tag is in the door as well. I do not think it has a R. Looked for that. It may have a Q. Will get back for a look early next week. With the digital camera. Earl

False alarm. No R or Q code. Some one got a good laugh with the 427 hood writing. Earl

At least you were smart enough to follow up and investigate. I have learned the hard way, follow up on every lead when possible no matter how far fetched.
