1968 Ford Galaxie Xl Fastback - Southern Car - No Rust - Rebuilt 302 - Match #s on 2040-cars
Bristol, Virginia, United States
|
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!

Official USPS Muscle Cars stamps coming to a mailbox near you
Thu, 21 Feb 2013As much as our digital lives have cut down on our trips to the post office, there are still times that sending "snail mail" is necessary. With us car lovers in mind and philately in their hearts, the good folks at the United States Postal Service will introduce a new stamp design called "Muscle Cars" starting on February 22.
Designed by artist Tom Fritz, the new collection of stamps consist of five classic muscle cars: 1969 Dodge Charger Daytona, 1970 Chevrolet Chevelle SS, 1967 Shelby GT-500, 1966 Pontiac GTO and 1970 Plymouth Hemi 'Cuda. In addition to just the stamps, the USPS is also commemorating the new series with plenty of collectable memorabilia. Previous car-related stamps include 50s Sporty Cars from 2005 and 50s Fins and Chrome from 2008.
