Befitting the Galaxie 500 XL’s origins as Ford’s first full-size muscle machine, this flashy convertible draws its motivation from a rare, 405 horsepower version of Ford’s big-bore FE V8. That muscular mill’s power is transmitted rearward through a correct Borg Warner T-10 that, with the flick of a wrist, transforms a would be boulevard cruiser into a drag strip battle ship. Behind that gearbox, a large-diameter driveshaft spins a buff Ford 9-inch, which, thanks to correct 3.50 gears, is ready to supply its new owner with years of hard launches.
