Vehicle Description
This 1962 Ford Galaxie 500XL convertible is a classic cruising
drop-top with plenty of old-school flair. But there have also been
a ton of investments here that give you a freshly built big block
V8, four-wheel disc brakes, an overdrive transmission, and a custom
leather-lined A/C interior. So this is an awesome all-around
build.
Long and sleek, this is the classic American droptop that instantly
conveys speed and elegance. For example, the paint is a well-done
beige that has a deep gloss and metallic element so that it
radiates in the sunshine. All the brightwork is quite good: the
bumpers have a mirror shine, the intricate grille is complete, and
the rear panel artfully fills the space in-between the jet-inspired
taillights. We especially love the full-length side trim. It not
only is part of the speedy style but also the white element within
it does a great job of coordinating with the roof. The car is a
thoughtful build that is a very driver-ready presentation. That
means a looker that doesn't feel like you should be nervous about
taking it out on the road. After all, the 18-inch Boss wheels add
some awesome style, but they also mean you get to fit modern/grippy
tires.
As good as the roof looks in place, we know you're going to love
opening this one up to the world. That's because the upholstery has
been custom covered in two-tone brown and tan leather. It has a
supple feel and even has that ideal leather scent. And as a
full-sized machine, it's easy to share this vintage experience with
family and friends. Plus, you even have upgrades to keep them
feeling happy like the AM/FM/CD stereo in the glovebox and
cold-blowing air conditioning. Of course, the driver is always king
in this convertible. Front bucket seats, a center console in
between, and an upgraded sports steering wheel on a tilt column
make this a cruiser-ready drop-top.
The engine bay is filled with big block power, and the motor is
fresh from a rebuild. In fact, we have $28k in total build receipts
on this car. That's why you have such an awesome polish on the Ford
Racing valve covers, brackets, pulleys, alternator, aluminum
radiator, and more. This fresh motor fires up eagerly as it inhales
deeply with a Proform 750 four-barrel carburetor and Edelbrock
Performer intake. There's also a fuel injection system that comes
with the sale! And just to make sure that you'll want to run the
boulevard all day long, they installed a four-speed automatic
transmission w/highway-friendly overdrive. Add in power steering
and Wilwood four-wheel power disc brakes, and you soon see that
this is the drop-top you want to take everywhere.
The sale comes complete with build receipts and title
documentation. This is the classic Ford convertible that was given
the right investments to keep it a powerful, comfortable, and
head-turning cruiser. So don't miss this deal, call today!!!
