1965 Ford LTD R-Code 427 Video Muscle Car Of The Week Video Episode #85
This week, we move off the mark from the typical Muscle Car into the world of mid 1960's luxury sedans, only to find that this 1 of 3 ever built 1965 Ford Galaxie 500 LTD is sporting an 427 for power! The high-compression, dual-quad side-oiler V8 is coupled to a 4-speed transmission and a 4.11:1 rear gear, making this car one of the most comfortable drag racers ever built! This luxo-liner LTD is one of the many unique rides in the Brothers Collection.

The 1965 Galaxie/LTD series are among my favorite cars, such beautiful and classy lines!!!!.... Being an ''R'' code makes it one of my dream cars! Thanks!

@machdaddy6451 2 года назад

Beautiful!

I must admit that I love cars like this. Cars that theoretically could exist but in practice never really did or cars that shouldn't have existed in that spec but do. Oddball is cool, and when it comes to the muscle car wars in the '60s US it can be very, very rapid...

I've owned 3 1965 Galaxies. A 500 four door with a 390. A 390 powered LTD 2 door and a 352 powered 500XL 2 door. These are the smoothest, best riding cars I ever owned.

@karlx-1 9 лет назад

I think that's my favorite car of the entire collection. Sleepers rule!

@autobug2 Год назад

I wish he talked a bit about the clear headlamp covers. Extremely rare accessory that only a handful of `65s got.

@MuscleCarOfTheWeek Год назад

Yes, the Pyrex covers are super rare. Cool looking, too.

@raymondblasee1048 Год назад

Wow!!! Only 3 LTDs made it out of the factory with a 427!!!???? That's super rare even the LTDs alone are unique Galaxies! My Grandmother had a 65 LTD but with a 289 and her interior was black cloth and luxurious exactly like this red 427 car has! Thank you for bringing back memories of this LTD

@Slimjim260 3 года назад

I love that car

@B1Springfield 8 лет назад

My great grandfather had special ordered a 65 Galaxie exactly like this. Unfortunately, Ford sent him a 352 3 speed on the column instead. Unfortunately they needed the car, so they accepted it. Every time I see this video, I think, there's the car he had ordered but never got.

@timatkinson9291 2 месяца назад

Nice machine!!! Very rare.

@gregkistner1955 2 года назад

A sleeper for sure!

@Slimjim260 3 года назад

Love this car!!!!!

@bluesman1063 8 лет назад

My Dad had a 65 LTD 390, and my Older brother had a 64 Merc Marauder 390 when I was a kid. That 65 was the smoothest riding car I ever rode in, it just amazed me the first time I rode in it.

@johnjohnsn7633 2 года назад

The 1965 Ford Galaxie and Mercury Monterey vehicles were the first of what ultimately became the 'Panther' platform chassis lines beginning in 1979 ... the move from leaf to coil rear spring suspensions.

@billfeld5883 2 года назад

Whoever it was sure did a good job of getting the best parts and of course they were Ford fans for sure!!!! Beautiful car!!!! 2022

@SuspenseESCAPEremastered 4 года назад

Gotta LOVE those headlight covers!

@robertraber4770 11 месяцев назад

My uncle Gary. Had a 390 with a4 barrel and a4 speed. I leaned to drive in that car. He had it up to 115 on the highway. My DAD had a 352 4 barrel 3 on the tree Both was that Red.

@magnussvensson4527 9 лет назад

What a beautiful car!

@radioguy1620 Год назад

The parts sheet is worth careful study, a 5.83 rear gear was available !!

@bigredc222 4 года назад

That is one great looking red.

@briancabral9 9 лет назад

Once again Kevin fantastic video....you rock.

@MuscleCarOfTheWeek 9 лет назад

Brian Cabral Thanks Brian!

@briancabral9 9 лет назад

Have you ever come across a Studebaker Supercharged Avanti? Those were some cool cars beyond the styling, they hauled butt.

@owenrubin4047 9 лет назад

Only 3? Damn. I had a 1965 Galaxy 500 XL/LTD combo trim package in Turquoise Blue inside and out, with the 427 engine and a C-6 automatic, bench seats. It looked very similar but in that god awful blue color. You mean it was a "one of a kind" car back then? It was a factory orderable option! Sigh, wish I had kept it now! Thanks for sharing this, brought me back a ways. I do recall it could do 11.9 standing quarter mile, and might have done better if it had better tires and a modified suspension.

@tonycandido864 5 лет назад

Owen Rubin I doubt your car would do 11.9’s in the quarter, unless you had it done up. Those cars ran mostly low 14’s maybe high 13’s from factory!

@jeremythompson9122 5 лет назад

No way in hell a 65 LTD is doing an 11.9 quarter mile in factory tune. Even an R-Code 427 version. High 12s-Low 13s were possible with slicks and some performance modifications and tuning but 11.9 is virtually impossible. Even the 427 Galaxie factory lightweights didn't run 11.9s and they were probably 300-400 lbs lighter than an LTD

@willthetrill4849 Год назад

Now I wonder how many 65 LTD’s came with the W code 427 4 barrel and the P code 390 “police interceptor”

@mattmorrow3656 3 года назад

Thanks for these great videos Kevin. They are so informative and addicting!

@MuscleCarOfTheWeek 3 года назад

Glad you like them!

@70goldtop 9 лет назад

When I see cars like this it makes me forget Mopars are my favorite.

@HighMaintenancePS 4 года назад

Shit, us Ford guys and you MOPAR guys are so similar. We love each others cars.

@fonsecahebo 3 года назад

Good one.

@doernerrr 4 года назад

Did you notice the specs for the available rear axle kits, eight ratios lower than 4.10, all the way down to 5.83:1, can you imagine that on the street.

@trowercroy153 2 года назад

Many years ago my grandmother had a new LTD. She said that stood for Long Term Debt.

@gonepostal9101 5 лет назад

Does that car have a single exhaust? The R-code convertible in your other video sounds much more gnarly.

@johnjohnsn7633 3 года назад

Among many Ford owners, "LTD" stood for "Long Term Debt". 😉

@RealRattFink 9 лет назад

I need to have that baby !

@roysmemorylane 4 года назад

I thought my 65 Mustang 289 4V was fast and one night one of these blew my doors off in NW Philly. That one was an XL.

@garyblanchard1084 2 года назад

YES please do convert back to stock drum brakes and single master cylinder.

@5inthehole 5 лет назад

How in the hell do they find these super-rare cars? Do they purchase them at auction or have people on the hunt for them? Many of these performances engine cars ( unless purchased by an experienced dragster) got totaled in accidents by inexperienced drivers. Although possible, I doubt if all 3 cats still exist.Eventhough he says it’s an “R” code car, he didn’t say if it was the original engine and transmission. Who knows, every Panel on this car may have been replaced in the restoration except wherever Ford put the identification numbers on their cars.

@johnjohnsn7633 2 года назад

A 'Marti Report' would answer all the questions about this rather unique vehicle: www.martiauto.com/martireports.cfm

@briancabral9 9 лет назад

@MuscleCarOfTheWeek 9 лет назад

Brian Cabral We also produce V8TV.

@BubbaSmurft 9 лет назад

Nothin' aboot the headlight covers? How about doing the Pantera next?

@MuscleCarOfTheWeek 9 лет назад

BubbaSmurft The headlight covers are special. Did you see the video on the 4-door we posted a while back? ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-3r4hf0YvnEk.html

@BubbaSmurft 9 лет назад

Yup, that's why I was surprised y'all didn't speak aboot them. Happy Saturday.

@whooziss 5 лет назад

Ford's hottest engines were nasty monsters in the mid '60s. You couldn't order them with automatic trans, a/c, OR power steering. The accessories just wouldn't hold up.............. no nonsense here!

@HOOMANFAR 3 года назад

Just Ford

@michaelgeorge8671 4 года назад

THIS CAR WAS BUILT AS A DRAG CAR .a 427 ,4 speed ,4-11 diff has only one purpose the 1/4 mile. and despite what ford put on paper this engine put out 500 hp hence the 3 months engine warranty.

@sf_bay_area_og4411 2 года назад

Where is this car I want it

@billyfoster3223 Год назад

Great old car! How about putting a girlfriend in the back seat!!😁👍

@FYMASMD 6 лет назад

Kinda sad in a way. Like a zoo but for cars. These vehicles need to hit the road and fly...

@swampfizz 4 месяца назад

my money says it was ordered by a member of the armed forces air force or army i'm guessing?

@1LOCKNLOAD 3 года назад

If I was wealthy, I would say I WANT that car!! But, sir that would cost you a lot of money. Who do I make the check out to? But, I ain't wealthy. :(

@michaelquarry7454 7 лет назад

427 is a GM Motor. Corvettes had the 396. 427 ' ''''''''''''' ''''''''

@steveboros1961 7 лет назад

Michael Quarry your stupid Ford built the 427 first

@michaelquarry7454 7 лет назад

Really how did you obtain that information. And stop calling me stupid smart mouth young punk. Steve Boro

@michaelquarry7454 7 лет назад

OKs Fordbuilt the 427. Back in the 60's. My Friends had Gm cars. With427's. I'm not stupid I forgot more than you have learn dumbass.

@michaelquarry7454 7 лет назад

I learned from Google. Boro.

@seneca451 7 лет назад

GM made a 427 motor but that in no way means they had exclusivity on cubic inches of air! If you're new to all this, Michael, it's an understandable mistake. In or around 1985, Ford went to designating its motors by Liters. Ford, in V8 form, measured in cubic inches, made a bunch of motors in the 50s/60s/70s and prior. Some are the same block with variations to stroke and bore. What I can recall are the: 265, 272, 289, 292, 302, 312, 351, 352, 360, 370, 390, 410, 427, 428, 430, 429, 460. GM made gobs of motors in the same 3 decades. I don't know them all but I know for sure 283, 302, 327, 348, 350, 396, 409, 421, 427, 455, 500 and MANY more.
