This special Ford surprised everyone from consumer to Ford dealer with its up front, in your face, corporate blessing as revealed in the ad attached.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Further, the 1964 Fairlane Ford Thunderbolt 427 was not considered for inclusion because only 100 were ever built to adhere to an NHRA Drag Race rule. These \u201cdrag race only\u201d Thunderbolts were sent to designated racing teams and dealers involved in the sport instead of being offered to the public. Unlike the 1964 GTO, which was available to the everyday consumer, Ford\u2019s Thunderbolt was a once and done experiment.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Thus, it\u2019s the full-size 1964 Galaxie 427s in Q or R-Code dress that merit a slot on our Top 10 accolades. The \u201964 Ford Galaxie was a good-looking car featuring a buyer\u2019s choice of the incredibly successful 427 Hi-Riser engine. Available in three versions, two were available to the public with the third being a NASCAR only race version.<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_97060\" style=\"width: 810px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.greenstreetdata.com\/PS\/owego\/files\/2023\/07\/Car_Collector3-4.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-97060\" class=\"size-full wp-image-97060\" src=\"http:\/\/www.greenstreetdata.com\/PS\/owego\/files\/2023\/07\/Car_Collector3-4.jpg\" alt=\"Collector Car Corner\/Cars We Remember; Third in a series of Top 10 Muscle Cars; the 1964 Ford Galaxie 427 Hi-Riser R-Code\" width=\"800\" height=\"289\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.greenstreetdata.com\/PS\/owego\/files\/2023\/07\/Car_Collector3-4.jpg 800w, http:\/\/www.greenstreetdata.com\/PS\/owego\/files\/2023\/07\/Car_Collector3-4-300x108.jpg 300w, http:\/\/www.greenstreetdata.com\/PS\/owego\/files\/2023\/07\/Car_Collector3-4-768x277.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-97060\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Although a family car size vehicle, the 1964 Ford Galaxie was a top seller for Ford. This pristine \u201964 Galaxie R-Code shows the \u201ctear Drop\u201d bubble style hood to allow clearance for the dual carb setup with forced air induction. These R-Code drag cars were delivered without hubcaps and sans many other creature comfort items. One like this sold in 2020 at a Mecum Auction for $165,000. (Mecum Auction)<\/p><\/div>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">The \u201cnormal\u201d Q-code 427-cid Galaxie engine, which sold over 3,200 units to consumers, cost $461 for a 410-horse single quad version and $570 for the dual-quad, 425-horse setup. This street version 427 had a 10.7:1 compression ratio and was suited for daily driver status. These 427 street versions ran very well and were very affordable. However, these large Galaxies became the darlings of the drag racing world when the new R-Code 427 Hi-Riser found itself between the frame rails along with weight saving exterior attributes.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Before we get further into the R-Code, I want to re-emphasize why I selected the 1964 Galaxie 427 as one of our top muscle cars &#8211; and that reason is full company support.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Ford management knew that winning at the racetracks sold cars, so it quickly withdrew from the Automobile Manufacturers Association ban on factory-sponsored racing that started in 1956 of which Ford initially agreed to. Instead, Ford introduced its \u201cFord Total Performance\u201d program in 1964, which highlighted its performance engineering abilities to attract both young and older race enthusiasts. Again, the \u201cwin on Sunday sell on Monday\u201d theory was in high gear and Ford was not to be denied.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">In response, General Motors had nothing like this to offer although Chrysler was ready to join Ford with its new factory-backed 426 Hemi. For eight long years, Ford and Chrysler dominated NASCAR with nearly a competitive Chevy in sight. In fact, Chevy wouldn\u2019t find victory lane at a major NASCAR track from 1964 to 1971 when Bobby Allison finally won Atlanta in a \u201972 Chevrolet. Prior to that, it was Ford, Mercury, Plymouth, and Dodge scoring all the big race wins.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">This is the main reason I chose the 1964 Ford Galaxie as one of my top 10 muscle cars, with full awareness that the experimental Ford Thunderbolt Fairlane and many lighter models to follow.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Further, when a car company like Ford puts together a program that fulfills the needs of every performance enthusiast, from street to road course to drag to oval, it deserves<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">&nbsp; <\/span>proper credit. That\u2019s why in previous columns I mentioned the 390 Ford Tri-Power engines from 1960 and 1961 as forerunners of this 1964 Total Performance program, along with the 1962 and 1963 earlier versions of the 406 and 427. Today fanatics can expect one of the 1964 Galaxie R-Code drag car specials to go for $135,000 and up if one shows up at a Barrett-Jackson or Mecum Auction.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">The attached ad for a 1964 Galaxie 427 Hi Riser Special shows the drag car was based on the lighter weight option that Ford introduced in 1963. This option featured fiberglass body panels, aluminum bumpers and other weight-saving ancillary items to lessen the car\u2019s weight by about 300 pounds, which equates to about three tenths less in quarter mile times.<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_97058\" style=\"width: 360px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.greenstreetdata.com\/PS\/owego\/files\/2023\/07\/Car_Collector1-4.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-97058\" class=\"size-full wp-image-97058\" src=\"http:\/\/www.greenstreetdata.com\/PS\/owego\/files\/2023\/07\/Car_Collector1-4.jpg\" alt=\"Collector Car Corner\/Cars We Remember; Third in a series of Top 10 Muscle Cars; the 1964 Ford Galaxie 427 Hi-Riser R-Code\" width=\"350\" height=\"520\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.greenstreetdata.com\/PS\/owego\/files\/2023\/07\/Car_Collector1-4.jpg 350w, http:\/\/www.greenstreetdata.com\/PS\/owego\/files\/2023\/07\/Car_Collector1-4-202x300.jpg 202w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 350px) 100vw, 350px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-97058\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">This advertisement for the 1964 Ford Galaxie R-Code drag car clearly showed Ford\u2019s dedication to high performance with its new \u201cTotal Performance\u201d program. It featured Ford\u2019s new drag racing R-Code 427 Hi-Riser engine that could be ordered in both 4-speed and automatic models. (Ford)<\/p><\/div>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Notable is that the drag Galaxie came with the choice of a four-speed manual or an automatic transmission, the latter which the Chrysler team of The Ramchargers had perfected in their corporate garages. So, although The Ramchargers were given much praise for perfecting an automatic that could manage the power of 426 Max Wedge and 426 Hemi, Ford, too, deserves credit for what they were able to do hooking up that big Ford power without disintegrating the automatic. (If you ordered a 427 R-Code, the 4-speed was standard.)<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Ford accomplished this three-speed automatic success using Lincoln heavy-duty gearing hooked to a Ford Cruise-O-Matic torque converter with a lightweight aluminum housing. Other smaller parts were needed to manage the huge torque, and if you check the attached ad, you\u2019ll see just how fast and consistent this Lincoln automatic was. Back then, when you could run the quarter mile as fast as a 4-speed with a pro behind the wheel, this R-Code Lincoln\u2019s tranny value spoke volumes.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">The last of the three 1964 427s was not available for public consumption. It was the 427 NASCAR version, built to meet NASCAR mandates. It featured a single Holley four-barrel carb, and large, \u201cbig horsepower\u201d cylinder heads that insiders say resulted in 525 horses.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Meanwhile, the R-Code 427 Galaxies\u2019 Hi-Riser engine had special attributes the others did not. A unique intake manifold and cylinder heads raised the carburetors way above the valve covers, allowing for better airflow, more torque, and the need for a special bubble hood that helped feed air to the carbs. As for production numbers, less than 60 of the drag Galaxies were built, but still counted in the Q and R Code sales of 3,260 combined.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">The list price for the 427 R-Code Hi Riser drag car was $4,150 for the automatic and $3,950 for the 4-speed, quite a bit higher than the standard Galaxie 500XL Q-Code 427. Although this R-Code V-8 could be dealer ordered, it was not really a street motor and would foul plugs after one night of slow cruising. Another negative was fuel mileage, estimated to be around eight per gallon city. In comparison, a 1964 Galaxie 500 2-door fastback had a base price of $2,794.<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_97059\" style=\"width: 610px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.greenstreetdata.com\/PS\/owego\/files\/2023\/07\/Car_Collector2-4.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-97059\" class=\"size-full wp-image-97059\" src=\"http:\/\/www.greenstreetdata.com\/PS\/owego\/files\/2023\/07\/Car_Collector2-4.jpg\" alt=\"Collector Car Corner\/Cars We Remember; Third in a series of Top 10 Muscle Cars; the 1964 Ford Galaxie 427 Hi-Riser R-Code\" width=\"600\" height=\"334\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.greenstreetdata.com\/PS\/owego\/files\/2023\/07\/Car_Collector2-4.jpg 600w, http:\/\/www.greenstreetdata.com\/PS\/owego\/files\/2023\/07\/Car_Collector2-4-300x167.jpg 300w, http:\/\/www.greenstreetdata.com\/PS\/owego\/files\/2023\/07\/Car_Collector2-4-180x101.jpg 180w, http:\/\/www.greenstreetdata.com\/PS\/owego\/files\/2023\/07\/Car_Collector2-4-260x146.jpg 260w, http:\/\/www.greenstreetdata.com\/PS\/owego\/files\/2023\/07\/Car_Collector2-4-120x67.jpg 120w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-97059\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Not making the \u201cTop 10 Muscle Cars of all time\u201d list is the 1964 Ford Thunderbolt. This 427 powered mid-size was a 100% Ford experiment and just 100 were ever built to adhere to drag race sanctioning body mandates. Shown is the Tasca Ford Thunderbolt driven by Bill Lawton. (Ford)<\/p><\/div>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Notable Ford drag racers back then were Les Ritchey, Bill Lawton, Phil Bonner, Al Joniec, Gas Rhonda, and Dick Brannan. The late Bob Tasca also deserves special credit as his contributions to most of Ford\u2019s drag race efforts came from his still very active Ford dealership in East Providence, Rhode Island.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Today, anyone that studies the who, what, when, where, and why of Ford high-performance, the 1964 year turns out to be what I consider its pivotal turning point. It was indeed 1964 that led to Ford\u2019s overall success in the years to come, regardless of racing discipline.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">In the end, had it not been for this corporate \u201clet\u2019s do it\u201d in 1964 when it came to Ford Total Performance racing, there may have never been the movie called \u201cFord versus Ferrari,\u201d which I still highly recommend to every car enthusiast everywhere.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s2\">(Greg Zyla writes weekly on cars and motorsports and welcomes reader interaction on auto nostalgia, collector cars and motorsports at <a href=\"mailto:greg@gregzyla.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">greg@gregzyla.com<\/a>.)<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Here\u2019s the third installment of my Top 10 Muscle Cars of all-time, with emphasis that the car selected was available to the general public to&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":97061,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"ngg_post_thumbnail":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-97057","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-editorial"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.2 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Collector Car Corner\/Cars We Remember;
