1964 Ford Galaxie Lightweight

Originally developed as a back-up plan in case NHRA didn't approve the Thunderbolt Super Stock program, the 1964 Lightweight became one of Ford's most successful drag cars.

Fifty of these cars were built - 25 with 4 speed transmissions, 25 were automatics. Both versions went on to dominate their classes. Performance was so superior that NHRA pacified the competition by creating a new, separate class for the Fords.

This Osburn Trucking car set the National Record in AA/S and competed successfully at the NHRA Nationals in Indianapolis.
