"Cruisin Classics is proud to present to you today this stunning 1962 Ford Galaxie 500XL. This Galaxie combines the eye-catching style of 1962 with many tasteful modifications and modern upgrades. Originally a Sandshell Beige car with a beige interior, this Ford now wears a deep and glossy two-tone paint job with black on the bottom and burnt orange on the upper portion. Though there are some very minor imperfections, the paint is exceptionally nice and the color combo is a show-stopper! Up front, the orange hood sports a risen center spine, a colorful Ford crest badge at the front, and chrome trim on the lip that continues around to the sides of the car to become part of the body side molding. It's this molding strip that separates the paint colors. The rectangular egg-crate grille with dual side-by-side headlights has been painted black in keeping with the color separation on the body. Beneath the grille is a gleaming chrome bumper with integrated turn signal indicators. Adding to the cool front-end look are chrome spear ornaments atop each fender. Moving around the side, you'll see the copious amounts of chrome and brightwork that set the 500XL apart from lower-tier models. The aforementioned 3-piece body side molding runs the length of the car, resolving at the rear in a spear form with a ""Galaxie 500XL"" badge beneath. Adding to the sparkle are wheel lip and rocker molding, bright window trim, drip rails, sail panel trim and badging, dual side mirrors, and door handles. Not to be missed are the cool ""427"" Fender badges that let you know that a beast is lurking beneath the hood. The wheel and tire combination is a perfect complement to this Galaxie with grey Billet Specialties 5-spoke wheels all wrapped in Continental Extreme Contact tires. Peek through the spokes and find that all four corners have been upgraded with black Wilwood calipers and slotted rotors. The stance of this car is completely up to you, courtesy of a top-notch VU4 Accuair system (and Fox Ridetech shocks!) that lets you adjust ride height at any time with a hand-held controller - another excellent upgrade! Around the back, you'll find the large round iconic Ford taillights, a decklid that mimics the shape of the hood, another mirror-finish chrome bumper, and a decorative trim panel that runs between the lights and features a gas-fill door at the center. ""GALAXIE"" lettering runs across the lip of the trunk and a ""500XL"" badge adorns the gas door. The undercarriage of the car is every bit as nice as the topside, with rock-solid floorplans, a newer gas tank, newer brake lines, newer exhaust with cut-outs and Flowmaster mufflers, and a Flaming River rack & pinion up front.
Lift the hood to reveal a tidy black engine bay that you'll be proud to show off at any car show. This Galaxie was originally powered by a 352ci V-8 but that engine has been upgraded to an impressive 427ci side-oiler V-8! This powerhouse is topped off with an aluminum intake, 3 2-barrel carburetors, finned black valve covers with 427 call-outs, and a finned black oval air cleaner to match. The big V-8 is mated up to a Ford C6 3-speed automatic transmission - a perfect pairing that puts the power to the rear wheels via a 9"" rear end with freeway-friendly 3.08:1 positraction gears. Other highlights under the hood include power steering with a remote aluminum reservoir, a chrome dual reservoir for the manual 4-wheel disc brakes, an Edelbrock water pump, a working A/C system, and headers that lead back to the aggressive-sounding exhaust.
Swing open the driver's door and the courtesy lights illuminate a jaw-droppingly nice interior that combines original style and modern touches. The black vinyl door panels are in good condition and are similar to OEM style but without carpet on the lower section and a little less bright trim. A bright sill plate leads to a high-quality tan carpet that welcomes you inside. The front bucket and rear bench seats are freshly re-covered with black vinyl in a style very similar to the original. Between the front buckets is an orange-painted center console with an armrest/storage box, a switch for the exhaust cut-outs, a bright chrome ribbed shift plate, and a shifter for the automatic transmission. In the storage box is a mounted Custom Autosound head unit (and matching remote) and the hand-held controller for the Accuair system. The stereo sounds great as it plays through speakers in the kick panels and rear package tray as well as an Alpine sub-woofer mounted in a box in the trunk. The orange-painted steel dash is topped in the center with a matching-color aftermarket gauge cluster pod with volt, oil, and temp gauges from Autogage. The dash offers quite a bit of bright trim that really stands out with the orange background. The factory speedometer and fuel gauge both work, but the temp gauge and analog clock do not. The odometer reads 3,312 non-actual miles. On the dash are also controls for the lights, working wipers, and fresh air vents. Where the radio originally resided is now a delete plate. Mounted beneath the dash is a chrome-trimmed vintage-style A/C unit that cranks out cold air with a strong fan on demand. The driver is treated to an aftermarket 4-spoke leather-wrapped steering wheel with a working horn button on a tilt column. Ahead of the front passenger is a glovebox with bright ""Galaxie 500XL"" badging on the door and a reproduction owner's manual and Accuair instructions inside. Underfoot are tan carpeted floormats with ""427"" call-outs and overhead is a tight white perforated vinyl headliner. Back in the trunk are a nice vinyl mat, a good-quality car cover, 2 fire extinguishers, the sub-woofer box, and the Accuair system.
If you're looking for a cool classic cruiser that's loaded with style and modern amenities then this Galaxie is definitely going to get your attention! This car is impressive everywhere you look - the paint and brightwork, the undercarriage, the gorgeous interior, and especially the engine bay! One thing is for sure - you certainly couldn't build this incredible ride for the price it's being offered! Give us a call today, cars this cool don't last long here at Cruisin Classics!

Here at Cruisin Classics, we understand that you have many options when choosing where you purchase your classic, muscle or collector car and we would like to thank you for considering us.
Cruisin Classics has been buying and selling cars for many years.. The majority were your average daily drivers but our passion has always been in muscle cars and hot rods so in 1996, Cruisin Classics built a 56,000 sq.ft. showroom located in Columbus, OH that they still operate out of today. All of our vehicles are hand-picked and selected to ensure they fit our inventory. This facility is now arguably one of the best-stocked collections for sale in the US housing hundreds of unique automobiles all under one roof. We invite you to our facility! There is something for everybody when you come to visit.
After years of serving as central Ohio's premiere classic car dealer at Cruisin Classics Auto Sales, we saw an unfulfilled need that was not being met for our clients. We loved helping match our clients with the classic and American muscle cars of their dreams. But what about after the purchase? We recognized that our clients needed a trusted resource to continue to care for their classic vehicles. It did not sit well with us that our valued clients and their incredible vehicles were being outsourced to, sometimes several, third-party resources for maintenance and performance needs. We also wanted to help the many people that we had met over the years who already owned classic vehicles which were in need of restoration, upgrades, and maintenance. Too often, we were seeing vehicles with so much potential left sitting in garages under covers because their owners did not know who to turn to for such specialized work. It is our goal to offer our clients a truly comprehensive, seamless, and enjoyable classic car ownership experience, from purchase to maintenance to storage. Thus, Cruisin Classics Performance Center was born. We have cherry-picked the most talented, experienced, and passionate team of technicians to offer our clients a true one-stop-shop solution for any and all of their classic car needs. Our honest business model has lasted almost 25 years to date and Cruisin Classics has a worldwide reputation as one of the best in the business.
Outside of the shop, this business has afforded us the opportunity to be actively involved in our community and fulfill our goal of supporting several local and national organizations that hold a special place in our hearts. We are proud sponsors of the Kiwanis Club of Columbus, the Columbus USO, Honor Flight, Special Olympics, multiple car clubs, and much more.
In conclusion, 100% customer satisfaction is our main goal. Always has been.. always will be. We would like to invite anyone considering one of our vehicles to come to our beautiful facility to inspect the car in person or send somebody on your behalf.

Have you found the perfect collector vehicle on All Collector Cars? Before you make any decisions, we recommend that you take some time now to read the full description and review all the pictures with the listing. It’s important to do as much due diligence as you can before you contact the seller so that you’re prepared to ask about any flaws you see—and perhaps ones you don’t.
All Collector Cars allows our sellers to post unlimited vehicle pictures and descriptions, which gives you, the buyer, more control and information. In addition, our Buyers Resource section offers advice and vendor recommendations to guide you through the buying process, from classic car financing & insurance to collector vehicle shipping & restoration.
