Here we have a beautiful 1968 Galaxie, XL, Fastback just waiting for someone to finish this girl up and take her for a cruise. This is a complete matching numbers car. What your viewing is my husband's year long dream of owning a classic car. The past year has been spent taking care of A LOT of mechanics with this vehicle, and it only needs a few more. I will begin by the history of this car, what it has in it, and what it needs. This car had one previous owner prior to us, and hailed from SC, when we got this car it did not have one spec of rust on it, only a tiny bit on the frame, but extremely minor. The gentleman who had it said the just over 60k showing on the ODM is all original. The car was obvious just a occasional driver because the only true wear to the car was the drivers seat. My husband purchased the vehicle with huge dreams of making this a show car, a year later we have found that our extremely busy schedules and work are just not allowing for all the time that we need to put into this to finish her. The car has had the following done: -Complete professional rebuild of the 302 auto ($2000 into this alone) -All hoses replaced -All brackets -NEW radiator and hoses -Newer battery -NEW fuel pump -Fuel tank was completely worked and redone -New plugs -New engine wiring -Rebuild of all drum brakes -NEW exhaust system, true dual exhaust -Steering lines and cables replaced -Joints, struts etc were replaced -A rebuilt carb was purchase but is not working correctly causing some flooding (only thing this needs to run 100%) -Some additional paint work -Complete professional frame coating to prevent frame from rusting ever -And a few others odds and ends
What this car needs to be 100% (of course that is all up to the new owner): -To be running 100% it needs current carb rebuilt or a new one. We purchased a supposed rebuilt one here on ebay but apparently was not because it is the only thing holding the vehicle back. The engine floods (we think) after a bit of driving or running. Just needs a carb in our opinion. As you can see in the start up video I post below the car cranks right up. -Paint needs some finishing in spots. When we got this car it had a paint job with vermillion red the original owner had done in thoughts of reviving his old car, although was not a complete job. A few spots such as inside the gas lid were not done. We had the complete engine compartment done, under hood, and under trunk. -It is missing the rear window molding -Missing a glove box wood piece -AC is all there but not connected - that will need some work to get going -Bumpers need some polish or rechroming -Tires are good, some chrome wheels would look great on this we just never got to it. -A few trim pieces touched up or reworked -Vacuum system works, just need a little help getting lights to flip up but they go down perfect -Drivers seat and carpet repair -Dash has small crack -Drivers door lock sometimes sticks -Other misc things
Of course with just the carb fix this car can be driven just as is, especially if you just want a driver to fix along the way. A lot of time and money has gone into this car in the past year and the hard parts have already been done - like engine work, brake work, all frame and structural things. These cars are not seen often. When you visit a car show you almost never see these, making them VERY rare and a good find. That is what attracted us to it.
A very fair reserve has been set on this car as we are only selling hoping to find it a good home and very much regret having to sell but it is for the best versus it just sitting in our driveway.
The car is located in Bristol, VA and all hauling/shipping must be at the cost and arrangements of the buyer. Title is in hand and free and clear. It will be given at full payment of the vehicle.
If you have any further questions please email and ask. Please only serious bidders.
Thanks for looking!

Ford C-Max, Fusion hybrids subject of MPG lawsuit in California
Fri, 01 Mar 2013A California lawsuit over the fuel economy claims for the 2013 Ford C-Max was first reported back in December. Based on the numerous reports we've heard of disgruntled owners failing to get their car's EPA fuel economy ratings on the C-Max and 2013 Fusion Hybrid, we suspected there would be more to this story. The Detroit News is reporting that two California law firms are combining their lawsuits against Ford on this matter for "false and misleading" claims.
The article states that there are hundreds of C-Max and Fusion Hybrid owners who have joined the lawsuit, but the issue isn't limited to customers. In December, Consumer Reports extensively tested both the Fusion Hybrid and C-Max and found that both hybrids performed significantly worse than their EPA claims. This all comes just a few months after Hyundai and Kia took the unprecedented step of lowering the fuel economy ratings for all of their 2012 and 2013 model-year vehicles.

Shelby Cobra, Mercedes 300SL and 1947 Woodie from Petersen Museum headed to auction
Mon, 29 Jul 2013The changes happening at the Petersen Museum have been making the rounds in major press, but it probably won't be until August 18, during Pebble Beach, when we get the full story on what's happening; that's where and when museum reps plan on announcing the way forward for the SoCal institution. In the meantime, the museum is still reorganizing its collection, and that means auctioning some of its showpieces at this weekend's Auctions America event in Burbank.
Three of the stars are a 1964 Shelby Cobra 289, one of less than 20 produced with a three-speed C-4 automatic transmission, a 1960 Mercedes-Benz 300SL owned by actor Robert Stack and the last 1948 Ford Sportsman 'Woodie' ever produced. The Cobra, now restored to its original white exterior and red leather interior, was a factory demonstrator that first sold for $5,250. Showing just 38,950 miles on the odometer, its pre-sale estimate is $800,000 to $1 million.
The 300SL is actually a 1957 model but wasn't titled until Robert Stack took possession in 1960. The lead actor in the The Untouchables TV series used to drive by the Sunset Boulevard Mercedes dealership to ogle the car, but couldn't justify spending the money to buy it. When he and the producer of The Untouchables won Emmys for the show, the producer, who happened to be Desi Arnaz, bought the car for Stack. He owned it his whole life, it has been left as Stack drove it and still bears the California license plate "UNTCHBL."
