Rare 1961 Ford Galaxie Sunliner Convertible 390 Big Block 4 Speed! Super Clean! on 2040-cars

This RARE 1961 Ford Galaxie Sunliner turns heads everywhere it goes, and always draws the biggest crowds at the cruise in! Thumbs up every time it hits the road! People who aren't even into cars inquire and comment on how much they like this vintage ride.

This Sunliner is a 100% Rust Free car! The last year of the tail fin fenders the 61 Sunliner is one of those convertibles that looks just as good with the top up as the top down. The body lines are nice and straight with all the gaps between doors & fenders, and trunk & hood even. No door sag. The hood and trunk align correctly as well open and close just like they should.  It has been repainted in the factory Ford Crystal Green. I'm unsure of the age of the paint, but as you can see in the pics and video it shines very well with only a few chips/blemishes from driving which I've included close up pics of below. Being particular I would give the paint a 8 of 10. A really nice driver paint job, but not "show car" quality. The chrome is in very good condition and shows very well. The trim is also in good shape and shines up well with only a couple of very minor dings. The car also looks very good and clean underneath as well  with no rust on the X-frame Chassis and all the wiring in looms tucked back on P clips.

The FE 390 Ford big block engine was just gone through by the previous owner, and has a nice sounding rough idle cam. It gets it's fuel from a Holley 750cfm 4 barrel carb with electronic choke for reliability and performance. New 2.5 " exhaust from the factory cast iron headers back with Flomaster mufflers that sounds great as you can hear fro yourself in the video link I will include below. The T10 Borg Warner 4 speed transmission with competition Hurst shifter puts all the power to the Ford 9" rear end. All this combines for a very strong and reliable power plant that will have you feeling like you are in a racecar! You can just cruise her around to look good, but if you need the power it's there. Very fast for it's large size!!

The interior on the car is 2 tone blue all original except for the drivers side seat panel that has been replaced, and the fresh blue OEM style carpet kit. This is really one of the highlights of the car as you can see in the photos the colors are stunning and blend together perfectly for a striking appearance. It also has a beautiful handmade custom console painted in the factory Crystal Green that houses a 3 piece gauge cluster, stereo head unit, and door activated interior lights. It looks very classy and fit's the car as if it came from the factory that way. This adds a touch of modern convenience being able to plug in your Ipod and enjoy to your favorite tunes while cruising in your 50 year old classic. The convertible top is in great shape with no tears or rips in the canvas and no cloudiness in the window. The power top works flawless with no catches that you can see for yourself in the video link posted below. 

The car gets it's aggressive stance from new aftermarket coil springs in the front with American Racing Daytona 17x7 wheels up front and matching 17x9 wheels in the back. It has new shocks all the way around as well as a rebuilt front end with sway bar and all new urethane bushings. It hits the road well and handles very tight with no slop or sway.

 Overall this an extremely clean, good looking, reliable classic car that gets a lot of attention and is very fun to drive. I just drove it to the Rod Run in the Tennessee mountains last month on a 400+ mile trip with absolutely no issue. I would get in it and drive it anywhere.
