A mong hardcore brand stalwarts, Stan Johnson is about as blue-blooded as they come. His first Ford was a 1957 Ford Custom 300 with a 272 engine and a three-speed he had when he was 16. He’s also owned a ’70 Mustang Boss 302, several K-code Mustangs, every year vintage Shelby, a Pantera, a Tiger, Cougar Eliminators and GTEs, and a few Starliners. Today, the tradition continues with this 1963½ Ford Galaxie 500. Keep in mind that Stan is a hard-working Regular Joe, and that most of these cars came and went at a time when muscle cars didn’t cost a small fortune. Currently, his garage holds the Boss 302 he bought in ’71 and this R-code Galaxie he acquired 20 years ago.
