This '68 model Galaxie XL Convertible is a 390 V8
optioned example with recent upholstrey work. This is a
good solid driver ready to enjoy. We hope you enjoy our
presentation. The 1968 model year
Galaxie showcased a fresh re-design. Hide-away
headlights were featured in the XL, LTD, and Country
Squire models. This Ford's headlights work as they
should. Be sure to play our video. The dash features
the original gauges along with the factory Philco AM
radio (not working). The dash itself has been recovered
along with the front & rear seating and door panels. The seats are clean
throughout. There were six
available engines for the '68 Galaxie. This example is
powered by the Y-code 265-270 HP 390 2bbl. V8 with 9.5:1
compression. The engine
compartment retains many original components and is
paired with the C6 automatic transmission. The engine
compartment displays a solid undetailed firewall, inner
fender, and core support steel. The original data
plate is in place and legible. This is a Twin Cities
ordered '68 Galaxie XL Convertible with red exterior,
red interior, an automatic transmission and a highway
friendly 2.75:1 rear axle. The exterior
showcases a straight original body & the recent finish
shows well. There are minor imperfections on closer
inspection. The black
convertible top raises and lowers as it is depicted in
our video. The top itself does show wear and has a few
tears photographed. It also has the full glass rear
window. The trunk is clean
and solid. The door undersides
are solid as well. The undercarriage
appears to be solid, undetailed and original throughout.
The suspension consists of an independent front and live
axle rear with coil springs front to back. This Galaxie
features power steering and power front disc brakes as
well.
