For Sale: 1968 Ford XL in Lutz, Florida

Vehicle Description

Rare and factory-correct, this 1968 Ford Galaxie XL GT fastback rolls with its brilliant Meadowlark Yellow finish and distinctive gold decal stripes. The sleek fastback roofline creates a dynamic profile that Ford perfected in the late 1960s. Chrome bumpers and trim shine brilliantly against the vibrant yellow paint, while the signature hideaway headlights add a touch of sophisticated engineering to the front end. This Galaxie sits on 15" Magnum 500 wheels wrapped in Cooper Cobra rubber (215/70R15 front, 235/70R15 rear), giving it a muscular stance. Side-exit exhaust tips finish the performance-oriented appearance.

The black vinyl interior provides the perfect contrast to the bright exterior. Factory-correct bucket seats offer both comfort and lateral support while maintaining period authenticity. The clean center console houses the shifter for the C6 automatic transmission, putting control right where you want it. Clear gauges in the dash display vital information, complemented by faux wood trim that adds a touch of upscale elegance. An AM/FM/Bluetooth receiver discreetly tucked in the glovebox brings modern audio capabilities without disrupting the vintage aesthetic. The clean, carpeted trunk houses a spare, jack, extra wheel, and a Kicker subwoofer for enhanced sound.

Numbers-matching 390 cubic inch V8 engine pushes Ford big-block muscle through an Edelbrock 4-barrel carburetor. The C6 three-speed automatic transmission handles the power with quick shifts. For improved exhaust flow and sound, short headers connect to a dual side-exit exhaust system with Xceleraor mufflers. This Galaxie features power steering for easy maneuverability and power front disc brakes for quick stopping. The factory air conditioning has been updated to modern R134a refrigerant for reliable cooling. Blue valve covers and air cleaner add a subtle custom touch to the otherwise factory-correct engine bay.
