I remember them running as A/Stockers at the Indy Nationals in 1964.
Jeez, I'm older than dirt.  There's a guy who shows up occasionally at local cruises with a '64 sedan with a 427 SOHC engine. Yeah, it's a "Car that never was," but WAY cool.

i had a buddy with a few r codes..he was 20 years older than me, at least..he had an earlier 406 trips car too...he was as crazy about those cars like i am about 69-70 GTOs and i never understood it..but, with age, i get it...
i always thought he was a nut bag liking thos big old boats...but , i like them too now..especially this one..id never restore it..id drive it like it is..never touch it...and enjoy it...

Replace "Blue Bonnet" with "Pontiac" and this would be perfect IMO

Those big-block (FE) Fords did have a distinctive sound. The collectors on the headers exited about halfway up the door. I thought at the time that might have been the difference.
I still like the 426 Stage III Mopar better though.

My older brother had a 1963 1/2 Galaxie 427 4 speed R car in 1964. That was one one car that always stuck in my mind, it was a beast. He traded it in for a 1965 GTO, and that was the car that turned me on to Pontiacs.

I remember at my 1st job, the son of a Ford, Lincoln, Mercury dealership owner showed up with a brand new black on black one of these, 4 speed to boot. Wasn't a Ford fan but could have been easily converted if GTO's hadn't been out.

I pulled the 69 bird out of the backyard today and took it for a little spin. As ugly and ragged out as that car is it still puts a smile on my face every time I drive it.

Thanks Mark!

That was very pleasant to watch.
He was correct when he stated that a little Suzuki turbo could beat him but those just don't give you the same sensation. My Dad had a 64 but not with the 427  and I remember some neighborhoid punk throwing a brick at the rear quarter and it just bounced off and not even a dent!That's what you call heavy metal. |

While living in Greensboro NC I heard many times the "urban legend" of a 1964 Ford Galaxie w a Jato Rocket and I always said BS! Well, I was wrong! Seems that a Winston Salem NC tobacco heir in fact ordered one and had a rocket attached to the rear housing! 1st time I remember actually seeing the car was on a televised auction a few years ago.
Any way...

He must start it regularly since all need to do was put some gas in the carb bowls and put the battery in. Brakes worked fine.

Must admit I have a soft spot for the 62-64 Galaxy 500's with FE power...
A old boss I had had a 62(? IIR) Ford cheapo 2 dr. sedan with four(4) big tail pipes hanging out the back....it was a cammer.

That was very cool. I love those era Galaxies. A 427 makes it that much sweeter.

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
