Vehicle Detail
Here is a very nice 1968 Ford Galaxy 500, with the original VIN matching 428 Big Block and transmission; you will be buying it from the original owners. I’m helping them sale it because they don’t know anything about the internet. This car looks great for the year, and it only has 38,921 original miles. “Yes that is correct 38,921 original mileages.” The odometer has not turned. I could almost guaranty you will not find another opportunity like this. This car has been parked in the garage for more than 10 years covers with blankets. I recently installed a new starter, and kept the original. The last time it was started was on 5/22/2011, the engine sounded good, strong and transmission shifted nicely. . This car has two back bumpers, I don't know why, you will be getting both the original and the one on the car. The original rear bumper was kept outside so it might have some rust it was only covered with newspaper and bags, I included a picture. I checked all of the following: 38,924 original miles (Odometer has not turned)Orig # matching 428 V-8Power steeringGood glass all aroundOrig interior in excellent condition Solid body Paint is almost excellent (Five scuffs, found but recently touched up) Very straight body Doors close with easeWindows go up & down correctlyWipers work (but need new rubber blades) All lights work (only one turn signal plastic covering is missing) All gauges workAll Door handles workAll Locks workTrunk lid worksNew Starter installed, and original starter keptFuel lines have no leaksPower Steering has no leaksRadiator, Radiator hoses have no leaksAutomatic Transmission shifts nicely Front seats adjust & tilt correctlyOriginal hub caps and original spare Tires are not ripped, torn, cracked or cut, and have about a 1/2” thread The owners are too old and can’t physically drive anymore. Guy’s don’t let this car get away, if I had the money I would buy it, but I don’t. No offers will be taken, during the auction. This car is almost 100% original; the only thing that is not original is the starter, and a new fuel filter recently replaced. It has one missing chrome trimming on the passenger side fender, one missing driver side turn single cover, and the trunk needs to be pushed hard in order to close correctly. Other than that the car is all there, happy bidding's ;) Important!!! If driving long distance or out of state, this car has been parked for a very long time, I am not a mechanic, but I will recommended that a tune up is made before driving it home, filter change, transmission fluid, engine oil etc...
