The casino where I am playing this tournament has a 64 Ford Galaxie displayed. You could win it by playing the right game (black jack) and getting lucky. It has a 429 cobra jet engine in it a C6 transmission and 411 gears among other goodies, even has a raised hood. Of course I would love to have it.

It looks way better than the picture.

    Look for the special Count?s Kustoms themed tables and make the additional side bet. Get dealt an ace in your first two cards and you win even money. Get dealt a blackjack in your first two cards and spin the bonus wheel where you could win cash or the Grand Prize, a one-of-a-kind vehicle from Count?s Kustoms!
    doing that is not a bonus, but a drawback. you make more money by using that ace on your soft hands to double down on the dealer's weak hands. so they take that away.

    Retired Police Officer gave me an identical one of these but it had the Interceptor engine. It was used to chase moonshiners in the county. Hadn't ran for decades and was sitting in his pasture. I got the old girl running and pieced together. I asked him if he wanted it back, wouldn't take it or any proceeds when I sold it. So I ordered him a very large Browning Gun Safe and delivered it to his back door when he was gone. A collector in the st. louis area has it.

    Odds are the casino will make minimum 100 times what they paid for the car they are 'giving' away.

    :lol:

    My mom?s neighbor has a 64 Galaxy with the 427 and 4 speed. He bought it New when he got out of the Air Force. When I was a kid, he worked night shift and would back it out of his garage about 10:00 every night and let it idle for a while before he went to work.
    His brother bought a Shelby Cobra about the same time and still has it.

    About 1989 a headhunter found a 64 Galaxie XL 390 Convertible locked away in a local garage. Calls me, I show up with trailer and bought it. Took it home, cleaned it up and sold it the next week. It had a swing away steering wheel. Red with a red interior white top.

    Back in my high school daze, I was nicely asked if I could help a gal out by replacing a headlight on her car that was parked at her home. Made it to her house after school and found a 64 Ford Galaxy parked along side the garage. Car had hit a deer (lightly) and damage to the rt front headlight assembly required a trip to the local junk yard in search of some chrome trimmings.

    My favor became a part time job but the benefits were most fruitful with pleasant memories that even get this old guy "excited" to this day!

    I had a 1963 1/2 Galaxie XL for about 5 years. It Had a 427 with two 4 barrel Holleys, 4 speed, factory headers, 427 factory decal flags on the front fenders.
    I had a heavy foot. I was constantly working on the 9 inch ford rear end gears.

    Gas was cheap back then. When I floored it the gas gauge would drop almost as fast as the speedometer rose.

    The 427 would get decent gas mileage if I kept my foot out of it and unhooked one of the 4 barrel linkage.

    Sold the engine first. Guy offered me a big price for just the engine. :o

    I installed a 390 and later sold the car. :(
