1961 Ford Galaxie Sunliner Convertible Engine Size 352 V8 Transmission Type 2 Speed Automatic Body Style Convertible Exterior Color Black Interior Color Red & White Miles 42,155 VIN 1255X107960 Stock 7960 Description 1961 Ford Galaxie Sunliner Convertible showing 42,158 miles offered by Gas Monkey Garage with a Buy It Now or Best Offer price! This means you can hit the Buy It Now button and own this sweet piece or take your chances and submit you best offer!The Ford Galaxie name was used for the top models in Ford's full-size range from 1958 until 1961, in a marketing attempt to appeal to the excitement surrounding the Space Race.This is a nice "driver" quality example of the second generation Galaxie. You've seen me build these into a kick ass 6 figure Street Rod on the show, and while there are plenty of really nice $30,000-$40,000 examples out there, there aren't enough nice "drivers" out there to be had, so I'm offering this to you like I found it, running & driving and waiting for your touch.The exterior shows well enough with an older respray that is showing it's age now. The trim and chrome are complete and in good condition showing well too.The interior is good condition with what looks like some newer interior components mixed in with some original items as well. All of the glass is in good condition and all 4 windows operate smoothly along with the dash mounted power top controls.Under hood photos reveal the 352 CID V8 and 2 speed Ford-O-Matic transmission that have been maintained throughout the yearsUnderside pics reveal the fairly solid chassis with minimal superficial rust present on most components (see all pics please).While this is a nice example of the 1961 Ford Galaxie Sunliner Convertible, it's not perfect. There are a few nicks and chips in the paint along with a few whiskey dents and the older respray has some issues with "crazing" & "pitting". The convertible top is worn & torn , but usable as shown (see all100+ pics).These would be easy repairs if you want to address these items once you get it. The Genuine Sears Dynaglass tires should be replaced, as they are surely out of date now!While this rare Galaxie Sunliner does run and drive, it should be completely inspected and service before any extended driving to ensure safety and reliability (due to our filming schedule we cannot perform any additional work on this car or build it for you).SOLD AS IS/WHERE IS. The winning bidder may come to the shop to pick it up, or have it shipped.If you're looking for the iconic convertible from the 60's, you won't find a better example that's priced to sell! This would be perfect for Cruise Night, Advertising and Promotional use or as a kick ass addition to your collection, you decide!Clear Title in hand!

Photos About Us “I’ve been obsessed with cars since… I was born.” Richard Rawlings had a car by age fourteen, and had gone through nearly twenty cars by the time he was out of high school. His father worked three jobs his whole life—two to make ends meet for the family, and one to buy toys. Neither a mechanic nor a fabricator, his father took pride in his car collection. Needless to say, this stayed with Richard. Rawlings was always working, and always chasing pipe dreams. By twenty-one, he’d been a cop, a fireman, and a medic. But he wanted more. After a rough stint of sleeping on his sister’s couch, he got his act together and entered the world of trading sales. Here he solidified his business savvy, and went on to build an advertising and printing firm from the ground up. The company grew to become a “juggernaut” in the Dallas area. A mere four years later, the company sold, and with that money Gas Monkey Garage was born. Aaron Kaufman worked at a shop Rawlings frequented, and loved the stuff Rawlings brought in for him. Kaufman always went above and beyond for him. When Gas Monkey opened, Rawlings called him up and asked if he wanted to work for him. The premise was simple: Rawlings wanted the fastest, most expensive, most badass hot rod shop to be found, with apparel and a show on Discovery to boot. Kaufman thought he was crazy, but signed on anyway. Eight years later, the shop is all that and more. They owe their success to a strict business model. They don’t buy parts—only whole models without too much rust. Owing to his business background, Rawlings has a handle on the market, and knows the price he ought to pay. In ninety days or less, the job will be done, whether they start with a decent model or a carcass. Then it’s onto the next job without hesitation. If a finished car sits too long, Rawlings will sell it at a loss. He’s interested in a killer operation, not a stockpile. Their roles within the shop are clear. Rawlings is first and foremost an entrepreneur. He wants to sell a style, push a brand, and make sure Gas Monkey Garage never stops growing. Kaufman runs the shop, armed with his mastery of mechanics, electrics, and fabrication. The dynamic is vital, the common ground being their mutual love of classic cars. Rawlings has always been an old soul when it comes to cars, and his style has brought in a steady flow of clientele who trust his no-B.S. methods. “Anyone can go out and buy a Ferrari.” Rawlings’ dream car? “A 1932 Ford Roadster—the holy grail of hot rods.” Warranty Information This vehicle is being sold as is, where is with no warranty, expressed written or implied.
