Vehicle Description
Wide, sleek, distinctive, and plenty of V8 power... this 1968 Ford
Galaxie XL convertible is the kind of American classic that puts
the wind in your hair without draining your bank account.
Ford's Galaxie XL drop-top had a new and radical face for 1968. The
look was downright sporty with headlights hidden behind the
full-width grille. The body design retained the kick-up at the
rear, which gives this long Ford a true sense of style. Overall,
this was arguably one of Ford's most attractive designs of the
1960s because it ideally blended elegance and performance. The same
goes for its shade of Meadowlark Yellow. It's a color that has a
nice sunny day disposition you want in a convertible, and at the
same time, it makes for a distinct contrast for the nice-looking
black convertible tops and sporty rocker stripe. The finish and the
chrome are great for a true classic cruiser and very well may be
the original from the factory, but the value price leaves room in
your budget if you're looking to elevate this into show-stopper
territory. It's all appealing because there's a fundamental
attraction to this car's style, and this is truly a rare Ford with
only about 6k Galaxie 500 XL convertibles produced in this
distinctive year.
We like the fit and overall style of the black convertible top
because it has a glass black window and is a newer piece from 2015.
However, you'll also be quite happy to power it down, because the
interior has a detailed style, and it's also done in a deep black
that looks sharp against the exterior yellow. This is also
distinctive for a clean and complete look inside where even the
seatbacks have their correct trim. It's a detailed vintage style,
and so you'll love to point out the little things, like the
dealer-installed headrests and the color-matched convertible boot.
Even the courtesy lights greet you when the door opens. It makes
for a nice drop-top to share with everyone, especially because of
all the interior space in a full-size Galaxie.
Under the hood of this classic is proper blue oval power. This 390
cubic-inch Ford V8 has a very authentic presentation that also
shows the right signs of proper maintenance. And the way this fires
up and runs reaffirms it's ready to hit the road. Ford's premium
Galaxie 500 XL line was built to be true cruisers, and so this also
comes with the right easy driving features, like a three-speed
automatic transmission, power steering, power brakes, and upgraded
front discs.
The sale comes complete with desirable documentation like the
original buck tag, factory buildsheet, owner's manual, and a folder
full of receipts. This Ford drop-top combines rarity, beauty, and
potential in one complete V8 classic. So you know you want this one
in your driveway. Call today!!!
