Numbers matching is a GM thing.
A Galaxie is not a Muscle Car. The term was originally coined for mid-sized cars that used the large V8's used in the full sized cars.
The first Muscle Car was the 1964 Pontiac GTO that came with the 389 from the full sized Pontiac's.
Thanks for the info. Always thought the Mustang was the " first " muscle car. Guess that's the blue ( oval ) blood in me. First car was
almost a '65 Galaxie 2 door with a 352. Didn't have enough money for the car & insurance at the time ( 16 years old & in high school ). Nearly bought it anyway.
