Lot #1084 - This Raven Black 1964 Ford Galaxie 500XL came out of the famous Al Means Ford Dealership in Decatur, GA, the lead sponsor of Phil Bonner's numerous 1960s drag cars. This Galaxie was purchased in June 1964, and in March 1965 the owner returned to Al Means Ford to make an upgrade to the car with a genuine Ford 427ci high-riser engine with dual 4-barrel carburetors. This engine assembly was the most powerful passenger car engine produced for retail sale by Ford and was only available through the Ford Dealership Parts Counter. The engine is backed by the factory Toploader 4-speed manual transmission and 4:11 Detroit Locker rear end. This Galaxie has 60,721 original miles (the title reads mileage exempt) and received a complete nut-and-bolt rotisserie restoration with attention to every detail.
