As a kid, reader Dave Rink was more impressed by sleeper “grandma†hot rods than full-tilt muscle cars. That passion was especially strong for Fords, so when his ’67 Galaxie 500 was totaled by an inattentive cell phone user, he had to find a replacement. Dave found one in the form of a supposedly rust-free ’67 post car in Austin, Texas. It proved to need plenty of work though, and after renegotiating the price accordingly, Dave dragged it back to Phoenix for a complete restoration. Don’t look for a lot of fancy new parts underhood; Dave eschews new tech for original speed parts, choosing instead to fortify a scrap yard 428ci FE with period-correct Cobra Jet pieces, right down to the ported cast-iron heads and intake. Few concessions were made to “modernization,†save a COMP Cams bumpstick, Holley 780-cfm carb, and some Hooker Super Comp headers. It’s a true “day two†style resto, and Dave gives thanks to Mike Wood Restorations in Phoenix for making it happen. The remarkably stock big-block, with lots of “heavy breathing,†makes an estimated 450 hp and was wrenched together by Sunnyslope Auto Parts and Machine in Phoenix.
