Thought you guys might want to see this, warning it is a Ford.

[1967coronet]

This car showed up at our little local show this weekend.
Pretty rare I think,
Lots of docs, had a couple re spray areas but most was original paint.
Born with a 406 4v and 4 speed in 1962.
Tri power and tac added in over time.

Very nice car. I'd Rock it for sure.

It's not an EV or ricer or eurotrash. Love it!

^ That pretty much sums it up very, very nicely .

I'll add to things we don't want to hear. I have a friend who built a similar combination on a '64 Galaxie, carefully matching gear ratios, cam, and induction. He's driven four of my GTXs, loved all but one. We went to lunch together one day, and switched rides - I drove the Galaxie, and he drove my factory stock four speed GTX. After we downed a round of drinks, we were able to laugh about the fact the GTX, in his words, "was a beautiful ride, but sucked to drive." The Ford had better street manners. I can't speak for a stock Ford, but my buddy really knows how to match components for driveability.

Nice car, no matter who made it.
I like the Holman Moody valve covers too. One of my uncles was a famous Indy car body/chassis builder in the 50s and 60s and our closet was full of Holman Moody hats and jackets...that's old school!

Nice Ford! There is a 1961 Ford Galaxie 500 2-door sedan in my area, in red and white. Its owner has built it with a 460 and a Tremec 5-speed.

I like just about all American classics and muscle. I just choose to spend my money and time on Mopars.

A Galaxie sedan (not a hdtp) is rare on its own. With a 406? Wow!
