Not sure I believe the blurb. Ford homologated front discs for the car which were fitted during the '63 season. According to Jack's biography (2008) the car still retained those brakes. Wheels? No idea but look very similar to the period photos.....
Anyway, I think it would be sacrilege if the car was to be turned into a modern racer. If I had the money I'd buy it and keep it as is! I know that's what the great man would want. And Galaxies don't appear competitive against Falcons and Mustangs nowadays, unless a Goody special.....
And apologies for spelling Galaxie with a 'y' earlier. Wasn't concentrating!
