Have you tried a parts store like NAPA or a Ford dealer? I would like to think this part should be available still and fairly common among the years. I replaced one on my 64 Galaxy many moons ago with a new one from the local parts store. Even if you have to junk yarding, one that will work should not be hard to find as they did little other than starting and back up lights in that era.
Good Luck,

Does this switch mount on the transmission or the steering column? I had a flashback to my 66 Galaxy with a C4 that had the switch on the side of the tranny. I was thinking column mount when I wrote my first reply.

If it's on the column, then you should be able to adapt without a problem. Try a column mounted switch for another Ford, later or earlier. Ford had pretty good interchangeability in that era. The switch on my 64 was spring loaded and kept it's arm against the little tab sticking out of the column. It was so simple it was scary. The only thing it did was allow the car to start in park and neutral and turn on the back up lights. Once the shifter was moved past neutral the switch was just along for the ride, so it did not matter what transmission was used. I would see if the 64 switch is available and compare them.

The last of the special built pedal cars will be going up for sale at the RM Auctions in Scottsdale in January. Built by the renown restorer Fran Roxas, this "Dusey" is truly is another work of art.
