Anyone that knows me knows I'm a massive fan of Chris Ashton and his builds from Ruffian Cars. This is the 3rd build we've shot with Chris and truly one of the most exceptional purpose built vehicles I've ever experienced. Full race chassis, powered by a Shelby 526 cubic inch FE engine with a dogbox transmission and every single inch of this build is to have a semi streetable fully capable big track car so sit back and enjoy the ride...

    I'm 71,my first car was a one owner,'64 500XL. It was a 2 door,white over red & red interior. It had the 390 4 barrel,auto,floor shifter & console. Big bucket seats & huge back seat/trunk! Bought in 1970. Loved that car. This car is insanely built,beautiful!❤

    The B-roll footage in this video is incredible. Whoever is in charge of cinematography is awesome. They made sure to get clear concise footage of everything discussed in-detail. Give that guy a raise!

    Car painter for 40 years. This paint job broke my brain. Awesome
  • @eb5151
    Best built car you've ever had on here. This guy is like a mad scientist 🤟
  • @KingofUrasus
    This guy needs a much larger team. Just the ideas and the way they execute them. I see how he would be incredible at anything he puts his mind to. Living the dream and deserves every second of it!
  • Not a galaxy guy and not really a ford guy, but this galaxy is probably one of the nicest built cars I've ever seen. Simply amazing
  • @JohneeB
    Chris's way of building is really a refreshing departure from the usual stuff. Kudos to him and good luck.

    Hey, Shawn! When I got the notification, I saw, 52 minutes! - Who’s got the time? I’m glad I made the time. Thanks a lot for sharing not only your experience of driving such machines but also for the spreading of the word thru the stories of regular people, just like you and I, that contains so much knowledge and truth. I am digging the long format; the new 3D intro is “all right“. Word to the wise: at 44m30s, your crew makes a right turn without a full stop. Edit that off; it can be “incriminating”. 🤔👊🏽❤️‍🔥
  • @JoeMicc1973
    Chris’ Galaxie is absolute perfection! Thank you to the whole team at ATLA for doing a full build feature…def took production to next level!!! 🙌🏼. Really been excited to see this. I am constantly amazed at Chris’s meticulous concentration on every aspect of the full build…down to the smallest details. 👌🏼👌🏼.
  • @Foxtrot1967
    Chris "Shaggy" Ashton did an amazing job on this car. Congrats to him and everyone else involved in the build.
  • @ssnova3210
    I'm not a massive fan of Fords, I'm not a massive fan of the Galaxie. Having said that, this could be the best car i have ever seen.
  • @kingbrutusxxvi
    You're 100% right. Ruffian is definitely the company to watch. I've appreciated so many builders over the years (I've been a gearhead over 50 years) but the first time I saw that Mustang I was blown away. Absolutely perfect cars... even if I'll never afford one. 😉
  • @AlphaMachina
    The little yellow accents on the car are an awesome touch. I love how the tow loop on the rear carries up into the "F" in FORD.
