A REAL RatRod!

[Joe Walsh]

You gotta love this rusty old FORD Galaxie....a real RatRod.
That just happens to have an original 2x4bbl 427 FE hiding under the hood!!.....:bows:
Backed up by a Toploader 4 speed w/ white cue ball shifter, and a 9" locker rear!

That video just got "liked"!

Nice find Joe!

[Joe Walsh]

I bet more than a few suckers get a quickly fading view of that rusted out rear bumper after having missed the "427" flags on the lower front fender......:o

[SILVERSURFER03]

I'D drive it just like that

[yjmud]

god that makes me miss my 64 that much more
I need another one!!!

[crouse]

I would love to have a 63-1/2 or a 64 Ford Galaxie or Mercury 2 door. My dad had a 64 4 door. It was white but I can't remember what color the interior was or what engine it had. Anyone have one for sale?

[guspech750]

Thats awesome. Id drive it like that. Dont have to worry about a holes dinging it or rock chips. Just enjoy it!!

Nice...after watching the vid, I noticed on the right that there was a 'Ten Most Rebellious cars' Quess what was in the list?

[hamcheese]

Instead of QUESSING, how about guessing

"6.) Mercury Marauder

Suggested By: MissingInTraffic

Why It's Rebellious: Taking a Panther body then blacking it out, speeding it up, lowering it down and then selling it from the factory is certainly an unusual and mischievous idea. The people that bought it almost certainly want to mess with the status quo a little by driving a car that at first appears normal and a little boring, but is actually pretty awesome. Besides, anything with body-on-frame construction nowadays is rebelling against something."

Check out #1 -- the Toyota Hilux ..... actually used as the vehicle of choice by rebels around the world. :D

Wasn't it a HiLux that Top Gear used to drive to the North Pole? I'd say that's an amazing feat for any car, foreign or domestic. I'd give that Yota a :up: Corolla driven by a former MM owner :down::D

I'm not so sure a "turboed Subaru" would blow it into the weeds. Not if it was tuned up and running right. I remember another video of a '64 Ford w/an FE at the Nuerenberg not too long ago.......

You bet!

Not a rat rod to me though. Rat rods are 51 and before. Definately not a 60s car. Cool car, but not a rat rod to me.

I've come across a few of those Subaru WRX tii rally cars and I must admit they have nice tail lites.:o

I had a 64 Galaxie convertible with a 289 in it, my dream car would be a 63 1/2 fastback with a 406 4 speed.

I agree, Those 2- 4bbl carb motors made 401HP, a good tune up maybe even modern carbs (carbs not my thing) modern ignition wavy buhbye ScoobyDoo

You need some more work done on your car Eric!

GREAT vid.....thanks for sharing :beer:

[LANDY]

Wow, that was a very cool video. I was here giggling at the idle of a factory FE from the 60's, just driving that beast will put a constant grin in my face.

[Joe Walsh]

I agree, Those 2- 4bbl carb motors made 425HP, a good tune up maybe even modern carbs (carbs not my thing) modern ignition wavy buhbye ScoobyDoo
