Pat I remember back in late 60's early 70's I use to go around the block to a guys shop after school. He had a 63 1/2 Galaxie lightweight with FE 427 2 4 setup with toploader 4 speed. Car was running 11.60's, car was red and he would put it in local ISCA autorama down here.

Your car is beautiful and sure did bring back some child hood memories.
