1968 Ford Galaxie 500 Fastback, 390 V8 Automatic. Beautiful original car. My personal vehicle which I bought from the original owner whom bought it new from Dunton Ford in Santa Ana, California. Will deliver for free to the lower 48 States for the Buy It Now Price. This is a one of a kind classic car. It is not a restored show car but it is in excellent condition. It can be driven daily and is quite capable of cruising across the country at high speeds. A very reliable car due to being maintained regardless of cost. I have mostly used it for driving between my home in California and my second home in Canada. I just drove it from Santa Barbara, California 2200 miles to Canada last weekend. It barely had a break the whole trip completing it in 36 hours. Cruising at 80 mph the majority of the journey it returned 18 mpg and it never missed a beat. I have made the trip several times in this car and it has always been perfectly reliable, I would trust it to drive me anywhere. That's how reliable and usable this 47 year old classic is. As mentioned above, I purchased this car from the original owner. He had driven it for about 10 years and then placed it in dry storage up until I bought it which is why it is so well preserved. I have all of the original documentation and handbooks in excellent condition. The paint is original, the interior is original and it is all in excellent time warp condition just showing minimal wear. The condition is best described as if this was a well cared for used 68 Galaxie Fastback that you were buying in the late 70's when it was around 10 years old. That's the kind of condition it is in. I have maintained this car meticulously. When I bought it I had all new brakes fitted including rotors, pads, drums, linings, brake lines, brake hoses, brake booster and master cylinder. It is a factory power disc brake car so it stops very well. I replaced the rear suspension arms and bushings with high quality ones which can be greased. I also recently had the carburetor fully rebuilt so it starts and runs perfectly hot or cold. And the transmission had a new modulator fitted earlier this year because it had started to leak slightly. The factory AC works very well and I had it serviced and re-filled with R12 Freon this past summer. Everything works on this car exactly how it did in 1968. The 390 V8 is original to the car and in excellent condition. It is very smooth and runs beautifully with huge torque. It embarrasses many modern cars on long steep mountain grades, it just doesn't slow down no matter how steep the hill. The transmission shifts perfectly and the 9 inch rear end is quiet with no leaks. The only thing that isn't stock on this Galaxie is a very expensive custom hidden audio system I had fitted with Ipod connection. This cannot be seen as I did not want to ruin the time warp interior but it is very convenient with good sound quality. Also it has a high quality stainless steel exhaust system. Otherwise this car is exactly as it left the factory. These cars have beautifully clean styling and are a 1 year only bodystyle. Probably one of the purest looking classic American cars in Fastback form. This is a beautiful classic American car that gets a lot of attention and looks. This is not some restored show car, it is a beautifully preserved and original 2 owner car that still gets driven everywhere at high speeds just like it would have done in 1968. This Galaxie is rust free throughout. The frame and floors are as good as new. A pleasure to own and drive, the most satisfying car I have ever owned. It will be missed if sold but sadly personal circumstances are making it not look like a viable option to be able to keep it so make me a respectful offer. Truly unique, you just don't find original un-restored cars from this era that you can get in and use like this, especially not 68 Galaxie Fastback's.

1968 Ford Galaxie 500 XL Fastback in beautiful original condition. This Galaxie is as clean underneath as it is on top and it runs and drives without fault. The body is in excellent condition, the paint is very good with just a few minor imperfections as would be expected on a used car. Nothing that detracts from the overall excellent appearance. It is a dark metallic green similar to Clint Eastwoods 72 Ford Torino in the movie Gran Torino. There is no rust, all of the chrome and the glass is in very good shape. The vacuum operated headlamps operate like new. Overall a beautiful looking car. The black interior is in great shape, there are no rips or damage to seats. It has bucket seats and a center console. The dash pad has no cracks, the headliner is perfect. Everything works except for the original radio. Overall a very nice interior with an upmarket feel. The 302 V8 starts and runs just like it did when new. The automatic choke works. It idles smoothly. It has a very nice sound to it like Ford Windsor motors always do. Being a smaller V8 it gets surprisingly good fuel mileage, over 20 mpg is easily achievable and it has plenty of power & torque. The automatic transmission shifts very smoothly through all of the gears. The 9 inch rear end is nice and quiet with a well suited ratio. It has new brake lines, brake hoses, master cylinder, rotors, pads and linings. It has the rare factory option of power disc brakes. It stops much better than many cars of this era. The power steering is light and precise. This car is ready to be enjoyed and driven anywhere. Very well maintained. The new American racing wheels with new tires that are shown in the photos are available for an extra $1,000 otherwise it comes with the stock rims and the original Shelby style hub caps also with new tires. This car is in my name with a clear title. It is located just over the border in Canada where I live but I will take it across the border to Pembina, North Dakota for the new owner to make shipping or collection easier. I can arrange shipping to your door, I ship cars all over the States every week so please message me with your zip for a quote or you can call me on 204 218 7060 or 657 212 1998. $500 DEPOSIT TO BE PAID BY PAYPAL WITHIN 24 HOURS OF SALE.
