Vehicle Description
This 1962 Ford Galaxie 500 XL Sunliner is a classic custom cruiser
with a big V8, plenty of old-school flair, and offered at quite a
nice price.
Ford has fun with the Galaxie XL's design in the early '60s. The
intricate grille, afterburner taillights, and full-length trim that
seamlessly wrapped around the front end made it a standout.
Overall, the low, wide, and sleek look really captured the era and
made it timelessly cool. In fact, that's probably why someone made
a mid-life investment in the custom features you see now. This
includes the louvered hood, spotlights, wire wheel covers with
spinners, headlight eyelids, etched glass, and pinstripe accents
all around the car. This all has a hint of a worn-in feeling that
looks like you've been cruising this way for over half a century,
and so it makes this feel like the convertible you never gave up
all those years ago.
With the flip of a switch, the black folding roof powers down to
reveal a tasteful gray interior. The piping around the seats
coordinates with the exterior cream color to provide more of that
custom feeling. As a full-sized Ford, you can share this custom
classic with plenty of family and friends. But this is also fun
when it's just you, too. This XL is also about being a premium
-level machine that keeps the driver happy. Bucket seats and a
center console are part of the upscale XL, and so is the
machine-turned dash panels. It's all part of a very period-correct
premium feeling.
Pop the hood and you'll see the 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 bright air topper and
Thunderbird valve covers. This is a Z-code car, so the displacement
is quite correct for this one. With a four-barrel carburetor, the
big motor really lets this Galaxie Sunliner run the boulevard
effortlessly. Even the dual exhaust makes a powerful sound without
losing this car's cruising attitude. Plus, the three-speed
automatic transmission and power steering make the total package
quite comfortable going down the road.
Large, interesting, and a heck of a price - this is the classic
Ford that delivers a unique classic car experience. Don't miss out,
