Ford Factory Lightweight Muscle Cars - Muscle Car Of The Week Video Episode 344 On this episode of Muscle Car Of The Week, we’re checking out some Ford white lightning! All the cars in this special episode are from the Brothers Collection, and they were all built with one thing in mind.. winning drag races! Our journey starts with a purpose-built 1962 Ford Galaxie featured in episode 331. This car was built in response to the speedy Chevy 409s and 413 Dodge Super Stock drag racers, and it’s powered by a hot 406-cubic inch V8.
The 406 was stout at 405 HP, but Ford needed every advantage going after the competition, so they gutted the car of all luxury and non-essential items, and then added special aluminum and fiberglass parts for even more weight reduction. It was the beginning of the factory lightweight Super Stockers, with the Galaxie losing over 400 lbs!
