Have you ever purchased a brand new automobile that you simply regretted letting go? Charlie Pearson doesn’t have that downside — he purchased a 1963½ Ford Galaxie 500 new and by no means removed it.
Charlie specified the dual-quad model with 425 horsepower (generally known as the “R-code” on account of fifth character within the VIN) within the “fastback” Galaxie 500 two-door hardtop. This physique fashion was launched mid-year 1963, the identical second when the 427 changed the 406 as Ford’s engine to kill on the road and the racetracks. Of course, the Galaxie 500/XL is the well-known one on account of its bucket seats and console, however maybe Charlie was inclined to have a bit of honey nearer to him?
Muscle Car Campy — in any other case generally known as Jim Campisano, the previous editor of Muscle Mustangs and Fast Fords — provides us a trip and spins a story with Charlie as he waxes poetic on 60 years of possession. And for those who get pleasure from this episode, you possibly can check out other videos from Muscle Car Campy.
