I helped a good friend pick up a 1964 Ford Galaxie in northern Germany. He'd been looking at the car for quite a while and now was the time to bring it home. The Galaxie is fitted with a 428 cubic inch Cobra Jet engine with dual quad carbs and is very presentable.
Red with a white top seems to be a quite common color combination in the area. The Galaxie made the 500 mile trip home without breaking a sweat and will have found a good home after initial registration formalities in Austria.
As I feel there is still room for improvement on the color of the wheels, I had a friend at the office do some quick renderings of a few color choices on the computer. Red and black are my current favorites...
More pics of the first trackday for the 'Cuda. Here next to Muggis killer '70 Hemi-powered Coronet.
Some tight turns on the track..
I was able to spend a wonderful day at the racetrack at the Austrian Mopar Nationals! Although the 'Cuda is not quite finished yet, it's built to be driven so I took it out for a couple of shakedown runs.
The movie was made by Richard on his mobile phone, he was kind enough to let me have it so I can share it with you.
I got new wheels for the 'Cuda. Contemporary 15 inch road race wheels.
Still working on the stance, seems a little high in front right now.
Greetings from the new tires :-)
Picked up some parts to be mounted! The licence plates that go with the registration. Not really expensive but not easy to come by either. You can't choose the number unless you pay an additional charge so I let chance rule. I find the DoubleD at the end quite fitting for the bigblock actually...
