What is a 427 Galaxie?
Quick Answer
A 427 Galaxie is an early-1960s full-size Ford fitted with the 427 cubic inch FE V8, rated up to 425 hp in dual-quad form. Ford also built a small number of lightweight 427 Galaxies for drag racing, with fiberglass panels and aluminum parts. These are the performance prizes of the Galaxie line.
The 427 made the Galaxie a race car you could buy.
The engine
The 427 FE, with one or two four-barrels, made up to 425 hp and powered Galaxies on NASCAR superspeedways and dragstrips. The 1963 1/2 fastback roof was created to cut drag.
Buyer's note
