#3 of 32 Wasn't the high performance version... by andre1969

of the Galaxie back then called the XL, or the 7-Litre, or something like that?
 
That kind of air induction was used in some Fairlanes around 1963-64, which were dragstrip cars and called Thunderbolts. And I think the treatment might have been applied to some 1961-64 era Galaxies. Never seen a later model set up that way, though.

The XL was the upper trim package...not always performance, but could be. Ford's "SS". The 7-litre was a 428, I think meant to be the luxury-sport model of such a big car.
 
A Fairlane Thunderbolt should be worth some very decent money these days. Maybe someone did up a Galaxie in the same style...but I would have thought they'd go past a 390.

I think it's a fake. The only GT was the Fairlane in 1967, which evolved into the Torino GT and the Cobra.
 
Also never saw that air cleaner system, which would be pretty dumb if you think about driving through puddles.
 
Oddly enough, there were a small number of rare Fairlanes with the formidable 427 engine but they weren't called GTs!!

Hi Craig,
 
Any recent encounters with motorcycle cops around I 90?

#8 of 32 Ford T-Bird Trans downshift by captserviss

Sep 09, 2006 (9:42 pm)

I'm new, so bare with me. I need to know if anyone has info about '95 T-bird V8 auto which downshifts sometimes for no reason. My mechanic can't solve it. He's replaced Air Mass sensor, wiring harness and two solenoides in tranny. Anyone know where I can get a manual which shows the electric ops of this tranny? Clymers? Thanks...

Hi and Welcome.
 
I think you're in the wrong topic here. This is the Classic Car Board and the topic is '67 Fords.
 
However, you might find this "read only" topic interesting, as it talks about your exact transmission.

 Hope this helps. If not, e-mail me and I'll try to direct you elsewhere on the site.
 
best

Not personally, but there is no shortage of them!

#11 of 32 I recall that... by andys120

F1 Champion Jim Clark owned a 7-Litre Ford at the time of his death in '67. He and Gurney raced 427 Galaxies in British sedan races (vs. Mini-Coopers, Jags and the like). The racing 427s may have had the SOHC version under their hoods.

Im pretty sure theres no such thing as a GT Galaxy. Theres a Galaxy 500 and a galaxy 500XL. If you still need help call (800) 252-7427 this number is refering to dearborn classics im sure they can help you.
