AI Listing Summary
This 1964 Ford Galaxie 500 Competition Coupé, chassis number 4J66X103226, is a well-documented and successful historic racing car with a rich history in both UK and European circuits. Originally built in California and imported to the UK in 1988, it underwent a comprehensive rebuild and development for competition, featuring a potent 427 engine producing 560bhp and numerous performance enhancements. While it has not been actively raced for the past five seasons, it is offered in full running condition with most parts required to reconvert it to FIA specification included.

While the car boasts a meticulously documented, body-off rebuild to competition specification by JTM Racing Services in 1989, along with continuous development including chassis seam-welding, upgraded suspension, and a race-prepped 427 engine producing 560bhp, it's important to note that it has not been raced for five seasons. This period of inactivity, while not inherently detrimental, introduces a degree of uncertainty regarding the current mechanical state and readiness for immediate competition. Additionally, the car has been converted back to HSCC/Historic Racing Saloon Register specification, implying some modifications have been made since its FIA Appendix K setup.

The Galaxie 500 two-door coupé was introduced in 1963 and was immediately successful in NASCAR racing.

To maintain their competitive lead Ford continued to develop the Galaxie, describing the lighter 1964 model, which represented the pinnacle of its evolution, as 'a car bred in open competition and built for total performance'.
