In the ever-thrilling world of 1960s NASCAR, the Ford Galaxie 500 was like the plucky underdog trying to shed a few pounds to keep up with the cool kids. By 1964, it had a makeover, sporting a more aerodynamic look to say, “Hey, I can run fast too!” With a slanted boxtop roof and a new 289 entry-level engine, it was ready to hit the tracks.

Engine swaps were afoot, with the 406 replaced by a ferocious 427 V8, making it a beast on the road. But alas, even with power galore, the Galaxie had a weighty issue—proving you can’t have your cake and eat it too, even if it’s a car!
