Description:

This 1962 Ford Galaxie 500XL Sunliner is a striking classic finished in Raven Black with a white convertible top and a red interior. It is an exceptionally well-equipped example of Ford’s top-of-the-line full-size convertible, offering a rare combination of bucket seats, center console, and floor shifter. With 390 cubic inches of Thunderbird V8 power, the car delivers smooth acceleration and a robust driving experience, paired with the convenience of a Cruise-O-Matic automatic transmission and power steering.

This Galaxie 500XL Sunliner is largely an original survivor, with the car showing its age but retaining great character. The body panels are straight, with good fitment and a shiny finish on the Raven Black paint. The bumpers, chrome trim, and grille have been well-preserved, showing a light patina consistent with its age. The interior remains original, with some minor wear on the bucket seats, but the carpet, door panels, and dash are all in good condition. The power convertible top operates smoothly, providing an open-air experience when desired.

Under the hood is the original 390 ci “Thunderbird” V8 engine, rated at 300 hp by the factory. The engine has been lightly upgraded with a four-barrel carburetor, dual exhaust, aluminum radiator, and a Pertronix electronic ignition for improved performance and reliability. The car runs, shifts, and drives well, with manual drum brakes in good working condition, and a new brake booster and dual-circuit master cylinder included for potential future power brake upgrades.

This 1962 Ford Galaxie 500XL Sunliner is a rare, well-preserved example of a classic American convertible. Its powerful V8 engine, classic styling, and original charm make it an excellent choice for a collector or anyone looking for a stylish and enjoyable ride.
