Vehicle Description
West Coast Classics are proud to present a rare and desirable 1960
Ford Galaxie Sunliner Convertible with the optional factory upgrade
of the FE 352 4 barrel Thunderbird Special engine which was rated
at 300 HP engine and with dual exhausts. This particular example
has been restored only as required over the years with one repaint
in its original factory 'Yosemite Yellow'' (code G) color paint and
with a striking and also correct specification reupholstered and
complimenting 'Yellow amp; Black' original (trim code 48) interior
and a Black power soft top. This is an original southern California
car which was has obviously always been garaged and well
maintained. The floor boards, trunk and all the typical rust-prone
areas are rust-free and the car has obviously a garaged car since
new.The 1960 Ford Sunliner was the top-of-the-line of the
top-of-the-line Galaxie group and the raciest of Ford's bigger than
ever early 1960's big cars. The all new 1960 model was some 6"
longer and almost 5" wider and nearly 200 llbs heavier than it's
predecessors and was widely considered to be Ford's cleanest
styling in years. The glass area was greatly increased and the car
boasted much wider interior dimensions and yet it's graceful
styling helped hide the additional heft with a sloped hood, simple
grille, straight A pillars, clean chrome edged fenderlines and
modest horizontal tailfins. The Sunliner again led the
top-of-the-line Galaxie group and these rare 1960 swoopy and
stylistic big and spacious V8 powerhouses are finally gaining the
attention they deserve both from regular classic American Car
enthusiasts as well as obviously all serious Ford enthusiasts..This
particular example boasts the optional 352 CID Thunderbird Special
4 BBL V8 engine with 300HP matched to the top of the line ($388)
Cruise-O-Matic automatic transmission and a 2.91:1 Axle rear end.
This car recently came out of long time storage and seems to drives
very well and please note that a matching Continental kit which was
removed from the car prior to sale will be available to the new
owner if wanted.This is therefore a rare opportunity to own a very
stock and original southern California 1960 Ford Galaxie Sunliner
352/300HP V8 Convertible.
