1968 Ford Galaxie XL Fastback

Description

This 1968 Ford Galaxie XL fastback will impress you with its cool hardtop style, even cooler A/C interior, and there's even a big V8 under the hood. It all makes for a sharp-looking coupe of distinction that you're going to love taking for a drive.

Ford's Galaxie XL coupe 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 goes particularly well with this fastback roof. Overall, this was arguably one of Ford's most attractive designs of the 1960s because it perfectly blended elegance and performance. It looks like this was given a restoration about 15 years ago, and the idea was to be vintage and stylish all at first glance. You see that in the factory-correct Medium Gold Metallic. It's a good color to represent its era, and there's also a hint of modern clearcoat luster. There's plenty of premium style in well-fitting body panels, taut vinyl roof, and the bright chrome bumpers that complement the car's form. But the pillarless hardtop profile and Mag 500 wheels also deliver that right hint of muscle car style that makes a fastback so desirable.

The interior continues this performance and luxury mix. After all, bucket seats were a sporty option, but these are also wide and plush enough for long trips. And the center console with horseshoe shifter is something we love on muscle cars. This is a true cruiser with the dual-spoke steering wheel giving you a terrific view of the extra wide speedometer. Everything on the dash is in its rightful place, and that includes useful features like a classic AM/FM radio and working courtesy lights. But your favorite feature will be the factory air conditioning that's still blowing cold. After all, no matter if you have this full-sized coupe packed with people, or you're just on a solo cruise, this premium Galaxie still knows how to keep everyone comfortable.

While the exterior and interior are an attractive gold, this blue oval coupe is pure blue in the engine bay. This Ford's 390 cubic-inch V8 has a very authentic presentation, right down to the decals. It has the strong-running nature of good care, and the solid feeling on the road comes from proper investments in the suspension. Ford's premium Galaxie XL line was built for true cruisers, and so this also comes with the right easy driving features, like power steering, power brakes, and a three-speed automatic transmission.

Complete with owner's manual, this is the well-respected hardtop that is seldom seen these days but is instantly admired. So you know you want this one in your driveway. Call today!!!
