This 1962 Ford Galaxie 500 Sunliner is a classic cruising convertible with a big V8, plenty of old-school flair, and a terrific color combo. But what you'll really find attractive is the quality presentation seen over every inch of this restored drop-top. In fact, this has been under the same care of one owner who has kept a long-running list of solid investments he's said to have done nearly every year during his ownership. What that means for you is that all the things you love the most about a classic cruiser are fresh, respected, and show-ready.
Long and sleek, this is the classic American drop-top that instantly conveys speed and elegance. The red paint really drives home this feeling. It's part of a quality application done in 2019, and so it retains the kind of gloss and shine that will send your nostalgia into overdrive. All the brightwork details you love were also given a solid investment at this time. So everything from the wraparound chrome bumpers to the door handles has an impressive shine. And we especially love the full-length trim. It ties the whole style of this car together so nicely. It wraps around the front end as part of the detailed grille, and as it zooms down the side, this shows off the straightness of the panels and how well the doors fit. There's even white trim around part of it to coordinate with the white convertible top (another nice investment from 2019.) Add in terrific cruiser details like smoothie wheels, newer whitewall tires (2021), and polished rear fender skirts, and you have the kind of convertible that looks right for yesterday's boulevard cruising and tomorrow's car show.
As much as we like the look of the white roof, with the flip of a switch, it gets even better. You still get the white, but now it's an accent that's intertwined with a bold red. There's plush carpeting, detailed door panels, a smooth dash, and inviting upholstery on this nicely invested full-size Ford. There are even terrific details, right down to the working under-dash courtesy light to the color-matched convertible boot. It's the kind of car you're going to want to show off, and also there will be plenty of family and friends that will want to go for a ride. That's why it's nice to also have well-integrated cruiser upgrades like a retro-style AM/FM stereo and a custom cup holder center console. And you'll always enjoy the driving experience with details like the classic Ford steering wheel, sporty machine-turned dash panels, and informative SunPro auxiliary gauge trio.
Under the hood is Ford's big 390 cubic-inch V8 with a four-barrel carburetor on top. It's an upgraded powerhouse, and it's part of a fully upgraded driving experience. The idea was to make all the essentials fresher without losing the classic cruiser feeling. So while people will see the classic polished Powered by Ford valve covers, they may not notice the upgrades like coil and distributor that make this such an eager powerhouse. And this one loves to hit the road. Newer bushings, shocks, and springs give this a confident feeling on the road, and the new (2022) dual exhaust system will make this big V8 your favorite driving soundtrack. Plus, the power steering, a three-speed automatic transmission, and a newer power brake system make sure you'll happily cruise this classic when the mood strikes you.
Complete with the owner's manual, you know this well-restored and respected Sunliner is your chance at something quite special. Call today!!!
