You are looking at a 1968 Ford Galaxie 500 XL. The car has 54,691 believed to be the actual mileage but the title reads exempt. So we are not sure. We bought this car from an estate, It has been sitting for around 20 years. The car does run and drive when we purchased it we cleaned the carburetor and changed the points The engine does however smoke sometimes its a little but sometimes it smokes alot not really sure what it is. we got it running enough to make sure the tranny has all its gears and it does. When we purchased it the brakes were froze we put on a new master cylinder and bled the lines. It appears that when it was parked 20 years ago there were new break pads and lines put on the car. the brakes are still stiff and will need adjusted. It does stop and can be moved around enough to get it on a trailer. the car does have power front disc brakes and power steering. The frame has been repaired in several spots, there is also frame rot on the rear of the car before the rear bumper and a few other spots around the car. Floor boards and trunk pan do not seem to bad . (see pics) the body is not to bad, there are some holes in the door and fender (see pics). The bumpers are rusty and they will need re-chromed. the top has 2 holes towards the back and the window is also very cloudy. The top does work up and down sometimes it stops midway because the relay gets hot if you wait a few minutes it will work again. The interior is not bad for its age I think its original drivers seat is split at the seam and there are cracks in the dash. This car does need restored you can not jump in it and drive it the brakes need work and the engine smokes This car will need hauled. The pictures look better than the car does in person. I do not have a key for the trunk and I have never opened it there is a key for the glove box but it does not fit the trunk. There is some trim that came with the car but I the think it is aftermarket you can take it along with the car. It is for the center strip down the side of the car. That pretty much sums it up...

Project Ugly Horse: Part VII
Fri, 12 Apr 2013Devils, Details and Weight Reduction
There are many things I could call this exercise. A party is not one of them.
I've spent three days crammed in the axle well of this 1989 Mustang with nothing to keep me company beyond a trouble light, a DeWalt drill on the very last of its legs and billion razor sharp, red hot slivers of metal with an affinity for my most sensitive of regions. My joints are raw from crawling around on the concrete. I'm half deaf from the shriek of the spot weld cutter and the boom of the cold chisel and hammer.
Ford shows off V8-powered Ranger headed to Dakar Rally
Tue, 30 Jul 2013Avert your eyes now if you're jealous that the global version of the Ford Ranger is not offered in the US. Ford's midsize pickup is being tuned up to take on the 2014 Dakar Rally, and the result is a truck that is probably even cooler than any F-150 SVT Raptor we've ever seen in the States. Ford is actually building two versions of the truck for Dakar, which will run from January 5 through January 18, covering more than 5,000 miles from Argentina to Chile.
Starting with a fully composite body and a 5.0-liter V8 plucked from a Mustang, nearly every aspect of the trucks have been purpose built to take on the grueling race. This includes things like the six-speed sequential gearbox, liquid-cooled rear brakes and the 132-gallon fuel tank. As proof that Dakar is more about endurance than speed, the engines used in these race trucks will be limited to around 350 horsepower and 413 pound-feet of torque, and will max out at a top speed of just 105 miles per hour. Scroll down for Ford's official press release offering more information about the trucks and teams being prepped for Dakar.
2013 Shelby GT350
Fri, 31 May 2013Shelby is a name as synonymous with the Ford Mustang as marshmallows are with campfires. But unlike the short-lived sugary confection that is prepared on a stick, the late Carroll Shelby's name on the placard means added performance and exclusivity. Launched in 1965, the automaker's celebrated early cars were in production for a limited run - today, a mint concours-quality 1965 Shelby GT350 can sell for upwards of $350,000.
To coincide with the 45th anniversary of the original Shelby GT350, Shelby American reintroduced the GT350 in 2011. Like the original, it was only offered in white with blue stripes. Customers were offered a choice between naturally aspirated (440 horsepower) and two levels of supercharging (525 horsepower with a warranty or 624 horsepower without). The manufacturer calls the GT350 a "post-title" package, a term that means it starts out life as a stock Mustang and is modified outside Ford's factory (this is in contrast to the Shelby GT500, which is a standard Ford production car).
As the GT350 enters its third year, Shelby has made several changes. Mechanically, Wilwood brakes replace Baer units and Recaro seats and a tinted glass roof are on the options list. Cosmetically, the vehicle is now offered in most of the Blue Oval's factory colors, new multispoke wheels are available in Satin Black or Bright Silver Metallic finish, and customers can choose between Satin Black, Silver or Gloss White stripes (or Azure Blue Metallic on Performance White or Ingot Silver). Aesthetically, the look of the car has also changed somewhat - keen eyes will note that it actually appears more 'stock' than it did last year.
