    Ford built a strictly limited number of 25 Galaxie 500 Lightweight 4-speed factory drag cars in 1964, all equipped with the competition-tuned dual-4-barrel 427/425 HP “High Riser” engine and 4-speed gearbox. Delivered in Wimbledon White with Red interiors, they flat out dominated Stock and Super Stock and remain rare and valuable to this day.

    The Galaxie Lightweight offered here is an excellent example presented in completely stock factory trim, with fiberglass doors, fenders, trunk lid and hood, the latter also featuring the iconic reverse teardrop hood bubble that characterized that generation of Ford factory drag cars. The minimalist Red interior reflects the car’s intended mission: lightweight Bostrum bucket seats replace the heavy stock units over thin rubber floor mats and the heater, radio and clock are deleted.

    The year 1978 was a great era for Oldsmobile



    1978 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme advertising
