1964 Ford Galaxie Restomod " $500k Build " 665HP, All-Aluminum 482ci Big Block V8, Roadster Shop Chassis
This stunning 1964 Ford Galaxie is the epitome of modern performance and classic style, built to an extraordinary level of precision and craftsmanship by Prestige Motorsports of Concord, NC. With a complete nut-and-bolt restoration and an eye-watering build cost of $514,071.14, this restomod represents the finest fusion of retro aesthetics and cutting-edge engineering.
Power and Performance: At the heart of this Galaxie lies a fearsome 482ci all-aluminum Ford FE side-oiler V8 engine, producing an impressive 665 horsepower and 573 lb-ft of torque. Dyno-proven and fine-tuned to perfection, the engine features cutting-edge technology including electronic fuel injection via a Holley Terminator X system, dual 1000 CFM throttle bodies, aluminum heads, and a custom-ground Comp Cam. With a 10.5:1 compression ratio and a dry-sump oiling system, this powerplant is as durable as it is ferocious, ensuring maximum performance while keeping reliability in check. The exhaust system is a work of art, with hand-fabricated stainless steel headers, a full custom stainless exhaust, and electronic cutouts for an aggressive exhaust note when desired.
Chassis and Suspension: To handle the immense power and improve handling, Prestige Motorsports partnered with Roadster Shop to create a custom Fast Track Stage III chassis. This fully modernized platform features a square-tube frame, tubular control arms, a power rack and pinion steering, and adjustable Penske coil-over shocks at both ends for superior ride quality and cornering prowess. The rear setup boasts a Strange Engineering 9"" rear axle with 3.89:1 gears, and a custom four-link suspension with track locator and coil-overs, designed to keep this Galaxie glued to the road. Baer 14-inch cross-drilled and slotted rotors, paired with six-piston calipers, provide exceptional stopping power.
Transmission and Drivetrain: Mated to the engine is a Tremec Magnum six-speed manual transmission, with fifth and sixth gears offering overdrive for highway cruising. A McLeod hydraulic clutch provides smooth shifting and an engaging driving experience, while a unique low-profile Stef's oil pan ensures maximum ground clearance, maintaining the sleek stance of the vehicle.
Exterior and Design: The exterior of the Galaxie was stripped to bare metal before undergoing meticulous bodywork to create a seamless, de-badged appearance. The body is smoothed and features custom billet aluminum hood and trunk hinges, with precision fabrication throughout. A show quality chromed grill and custom fabricated front bumper provide additional cooling passage to keep the monstrous big block happy. The 19"" Budnik Remington wheels wrapped in massive Michelin Pilot Sport tires (255/40ZR19 front and 345/30ZR19 rear) not only provide stunning looks but also ensure exceptional grip and handling.
Interior and Comfort: Inside, the custom red leather interior boasts quad bucket seats with a full-length console, and every detail is carefully crafted. From the hand-fabricated leather-wrapped aluminum dash and door panels to the billet aluminum door pulls, A/C vents, and window cranks, this cabin is nothing short of a work of art. Modern features like power windows, air conditioning, and a JBL Bluetooth stereo enhance the driving experience, while Holley EFI gauges and a GPS-powered speedometer offer the latest in high-tech functionality.
No Detail Left Unfinished: From the fabricated aluminum panels in the trunk compartment wrapped in leather, to the precision-engineered exhaust tucked neatly into the chassis, no aspect of this build was overlooked. Every inch of this 1964 Ford Galaxie is designed for peak performance, outstanding aesthetics, and unparalleled craftsmanship.
This is a true restomod that takes a classic American Galaxie and elevates it to an entirely new level of performance, design, and innovation. If you're looking for a one-of-a-kind, high-performance muscle car that blends modern technology with vintage appeal, look no further than this incredible 1964 Ford Galaxie.
