'63 R-Code Galaxie Convertible

[scuncio]

Now this is one classy car. While I love the 409 Impalas, I have to say the styling (particularly the interior) of the '63-64 Galaxies is pretty tough to beat.

That is a beautiful car. Way out of my price range, but I wouldn't mind owning one of those. I find those cast headers on the big block Fords interesting - they look like they would flow almost as well as a tube header. Question - what is the line going from the raised boss on the exhaust manifold up to one of the carbs? Is that something for the choke? Almost looks like an O2 sensor.

Yes, Hot Air Choke tube.

Not a Ford guy, but agree it's a very nice looking car. I think I'd still go with the 409 Impala if choosing between the two.

Scuncio, I really enjoy all of your postings. You uncover a lot of cars that I would otherwise never see. Thanks
