For Sale: 1962 Ford Galaxie in Columbus, Ohio

Cruisin Classics is pleased to present to you this 1962 Ford Galaxie Sunliner convertible. According to the data plate, this big, beautiful cruiser came from the Louisville plant in '62 with Corinthian White paint and a Red vinyl interior, but it comes to us today dressed in slick burnt orange paint with a crisp white convertible top and two-tone tan interior - a gorgeous color combination. It appears to us that the car has had a body-off restoration at some point in its life, but we have no documentation of it. Up front, you'll find a colorful Ford crest on the lip of the hood, dual side-by-side headlights flanking a bright horizontal eggcrate grille with a Galaxie "star" at the center, a gleaming chrome bumper with integrated turn signals, and chrome ornaments atop the fenders. Chrome hood lip molding flows around to the sides of the car and widens to become body-side molding with white insets that work perfectly with the white top. As you move around to the side of the car, loads of chrome and brightwork come into view with bright wiper arms, windshield surround, window trim, dual side mirrors, door handles, wheel lip molding, "390" fender badging, and rocker molding. Needless to say, this car shines brilliantly in the sunlight! The white power-operated convertible top looks brand new and features a clear plastic rear window. Wheel and tire treatment is a perfect fit for this Sunliner - steel wheels with factory hubcaps all wrapped in Uniroyal Tiger Paw white-wall tires. At the rear of the car are "Sunliner" script badges on the quarters, "GALAXIE" block lettering on the decklid, large round taillights, a vertical chrome rear panel, a bumper that's just as nice as the one up front, and dual chrome exhaust tips.

Lift the hood and find a clean black engine bay with a blue Ford 390ci V-8 at the center. The "X" in the VIN tells us that this car was originally born with a 352V-8 with a 2-barrel carburetor. Looking at the engine from under the car, you can see a decal on the block from Jasper Engines (here in Columbus) with a 6-digit number. We reached out to Jasper, and they told us that it is indeed a 390 and it was installed in August of 2016. The block is topped off with polished aluminum "Powered by Ford" valve covers, a 4-barrel carburetor, and a chrome air cleaner with "390ci High Performance" decal. Other highlights under the hood include power steering and a Wilwood master cylinder for the manual 4-wheel disc brakes with red calipers. The healthy V-8 is mated up to a 3-speed Cruise-O-Matic automatic transmission that shifts smoothly. Exhaust flows from cast manifolds through glass-pack style mufflers and out the tailpipes with a nice rumble.

Open the long driver's door to find a very nicely presented two-tone tan interior illuminated by an under-dash courtesy light. Though not OEM in style, the design is classy and timeless. The door panels are a blend of light and darker tan vinyl equipped with armrests, handles, and window cranks. A bright sill plate leads you inside for a comfortable seat on the two-tone tan vinyl bench seat that matches the style of the door cards. Both the front and rear benches are in excellent condition with no rips, tears, or stains. Ahead of the driver is a non-original but very cool 3-spoke wood ringed steering wheel (horn inop.) with a shifter for the automatic on the column. The dash ahead is tan-painted steel with machine-turned aluminum bezels for the instrumentation. The upper section of the driver's dash offers a fuel gauge, a 120mph speedometer, a temp gauge (inop.), and a clock (inop.). The odometer reads 66,844 miles, which the title confirms to be actual. In fact, the car has been driven less than 3K miles since 2013! Below on the dash are controls for the lights, working power top, wipers (inop.), and working fan and heat. At the center of the dash is the original AM pushbutton radio that plays through a dash speaker. Being the original radio, it is a tube-style unit, and it takes a minute to warm up before working. Ahead of the passenger is a glovebox door with bright "Sunliner" script, and inside is a reproduction owner's manual. Underfoot is nice quality dark tan hook & loop carpet with rubber floormats. Back in the trunk, you'll find a vinyl mat, a full spare with a factory-style jack, a shop manual, and a new tan vinyl boot cover that matches the interior perfectly.

Whether you're looking specifically for a Galaxie or just a cool full-size drop-top cruiser, you are sure to be impressed by this '62 Sunliner! You couldn't even come close to restoring a car to this level of condition for the price we're asking! Give our friendly staff a call today before someone else snatches this beauty up!
