Vehicle Description
We love the era when the convertibles were big, fast, and
brilliant. This 1962 Ford Galaxie 500 Sunliner is an ideal mixture
of luxury and performance with 390 V8 power and a bucket seat
interior... all wrapped in a vintage droptop body built for
cruising.
It's hard not to love the early-60s Galaxies. The people at Ford
made sure that their full-sized car was represented well with cool
design touches, like the afterburner-style taillights. And we love
that they placed the headlights so far out in the wide stance that
they became part of the fender line. This gave the impression that
everything was stretched to the max on this large Ford. This also
allowed for some seriously large bright elements such as the
full-length side trim, wide chrome bumpers, and the full-width
grille. But take a closer look at all this brightwork. Everything
has been maintained so nicely, that this big American can shine its
brightest when you take it out for a sunny day cruise - exactly
what you want on a classic droptop. Plus, the factory-correct
Rangoon red paint not only gives this a commanding presence on
street, but also it emphasizes sporty style convertible. That's
probably why they even gave the steel wheels this red color in the
special Rally-style package.
While the white roof is exactly what you want to brighten up a gray
day, with the touch of a button, the power top folds down to reveal
a different kind of attitude for the interior. After all, when a
vintage car is cherry red on the outside, we all know the best
interior color is a deep dark black. But more than attractive for
its color, you love this Sunliner for its premium presentation. The
seats look great with their intricate patterns and plenty of bright
trim. Plus, the door panels, dash, carpeting, and center console
all match this fresh and dark presentation. This is a full-sized
convertible, so there's plenty of room for family and friends. But
even when it's just you, this one is a great place to spend some
time. After all, bucket seats and an armrest on the console give
you an individual level of comfort on every drive. Plus, you get to
experience classic American motoring at its finest with the
intricate design of the vintage steering wheel, and beyond that,
the original speedometer that's so wide it seems to need its own
zip code. In fact, we dare you to find a piece that's not
period-correct on this whole dash.
Pop the hood and you'll see that callouts on the fenders were not
lying. The big 390 cubic-inch V8 fills the engine bay with big blue
oval muscle. It looks great with the silve elements drawing
attention the correct valve covers as large air topper. A motor
this size has no trouble giving this full-size Ford some real
get-up-and-go, and the dual exhaust makes a powerful sound without
losing this car's cruising attitude. Plus, this Galaxie's
three-speed transmission, power steering, and power brakes make the
total package quite comfortable going down the road.
A cool vintage droptop with a premium interior and plenty of V8
power. It's amazing it's all available now for under $30k. That's
why you know you need to hurry for this one. Call today!!!
