1968 Ford Galaxie 500 Convertible Barn Find Factory Black/Red
Hideaway Headlights Offered for sale is a highly original 1968 Ford
Galaxie 500 Convertible that was discovered after spending
approximately 46 years in storage. Finished from the factory in
black paint with a red side stripe and red interior, this Galaxie
is an eye-catching and uncommon color combination. The car is also
equipped with desirable hideaway headlights. According to the
previous owner, the car was parked in a garage in Worcester,
Massachusetts in 1980 and remained there until recently. I have
extensive photos documenting the car's removal from storage and its
condition as found. Since being pulled from storage, the following
work has been completed: New fuel tank New brakes Four new tires
The convertible top operates up and down, and the car starts, runs,
and drives . It appears to run well, although it should be
considered a 46-year-old barn-find vehicle that may require
additional sorting and maintenance depending on the buyer's
intended use. The odometer currently shows approximately
90,000-99,000 miles, though total mileage cannot be verified.
Condition This is an honest driver-quality survivor and project.
Areas of rust are present around the rear wheel wells, along with
some rust in portions of the trunk. The frame was repaired many
years ago, reportedly over 46 years ago, and buyers are encouraged
to inspect the vehicle carefully and make their own assessment of
its condition. Title Information The car is being sold with a bill
of sale only. It has not been titled or registered since it was
last on the road in 1980. I do not possess a title and will provide
only a signed bill of sale to the purchaser. Prospective buyers
should research the title and registration requirements in their
own state prior to bidding. The seller makes no guarantees
regarding the titling or registration process. Summary This is a
rare opportunity to acquire a true long-term barn-find 1968 Ford
Galaxie 500 Convertible finished in a striking factory
black-and-red color combination. With its hideaway headlights,
running condition, operating convertible top, and decades-long
storage history, it would make an excellent summer cruiser,
preservation candidate, or restoration project. The vehicle is
being sold as-is with no warranties expressed or implied.
Inspections are welcomed Runs and drives as-is. Interior has a tear
in the front seat, and the body has some rust. A solid restoration
candidate with plenty of potential and the enjoyment of top-down
cruising while you improve it. Important Information - Please Read
