1968 Ford Galaxie XL 500 Convertible Original Paint rust free Arizona desert survivor located in Tucson ! We suggest viewing this auction on a normal PC or tablet and NOT A PHONE to see ALL the large clear pics !!! AND NO RESERVE !! IF YOU HAVE UNDER 10 Feedbacks you have to email me if you plan on bidding. If you dont, we will email you and cancel your bid if you dont respond... period. The VIN listed is wrong, Ill put the correct one up in a day with pics. BRIEF DESCRIPTION: Very well loaded car from the factory: power top, pw, pdb, AC, tilt, 390 big block, Hide-A-Way headlights and more ... so this car has been off the road for about 10 yrs, last owner said one day it wouldnt start and he just parked it under his carport and left it. Paint looks to be the original N code Diamond Green enamel with white interior. The convert top obviously has had it and the interior got some sun damage from over the yrs but the car was covered since the top came apart. I think to get it running you could do the timing chain, carb and clean out the gas tank. For the interior, recover the front seat, new top and door panels and it would be a great cruiser. The body and trim on this 45 yr old car is in amazing shape thanks to being in Az its whole life. Glass all good and chrome for its age is really in great shape. Convertible top frame all looks intact and functional. DONT BID UNLESS YOU HAVE THE FUNDS IN HAND, apparently some people who use ebay arent smart enough to understand the rules. So if you have under 10 feedbacks, Ill be emailing you if you bid to make sure you are legit, if we do please reply or we will cancel your bid. Up for Auction: LOW FAIR RESERVE !!! These cars are getting harder to find esp in this condition that are still affordable to most buyers. DRIVETRAIN: this car has its factory V8 390 2v w/auto C6 Prob the original motor and trans as well. These motors make all the torque Necessary to move this tank in town or on the highway. We did a tune up on it but it wont start... narrowed it down to the timing. Looks like it may be off a tooth or two. Probably still the original timing chain on the car but not sure. It will probably need a new 2v carb too. TIRES look okay, not sure how old they are. INTERIOR: take a look at the pics, although it looks okay in the pics the interior of this car isnt horrible, just showing its age and not restored. It could use some new stuff inside to be really nice or you could drive it the way it is to be honest. It came from the FACTORY as an AC car. It all looks complete, so with a little work, Im sure you can get it working. Chrome and stainless inside look great too for their age. Wouldnt take alot of work to bring the interior decent. PW are pretty rare as is the Tilt steering. Dr door wont open, handle seems to be broken and rod inside may need to be fixed. Both rear lower floors where you put your feet MAY need repairs but wont know till you pull the carpet. Its still minor by far compared to most cars this old. EXTERIOR: the body and and original sheetmetal on this car are in amazing shape for being over 45 yrs old. Factory Hide A Way headlights are cool ! I wouldnt paint it, but just do the mechanics on it and drive it the way it is for now. They are only original once. During restoration, you could go back 100% stock.... or RESTO MOD the heck out of it !! The stainless on the outside of the car is in really great shape and its all there! SUSPENSION: the suspension looks very much original and tires just ok. Nothing weird to report here, mostly all original but functional as is Below are pics of some 18x9 Resto mod style rims we test fit on the car to see how well they would fit, and they look and fit great ! SO IF THERE IS A WINNER and IF THEY WANT TO BUY the rims and maybe a good set of used 18" tires for it, just inquire, ..we can make you a good deal on those too !! Check out ALL the pics below -----> it may take a full minute for them all to load if you have a slow connection, so be patient AND looks for the extra scroll bar on the right side. Az gets maybe 12" a yr of rain and Az very dry climate. more info AFTER the pics etc. There are 100 large pics. There you have it, probably The BEST represented GALAXIES on Ebay. Shows you all the good as well as any bad, hope you appreciate them. We put a lot of time and effort in marketing our cars and it shows. People wait months for a car this solid to come up for sale and even if you have to pay shipping to your area, it still beats paying a body shop to hopefully fix a rusty car for weeks on end. Having as much as the original steel on a restored car these days speaks volumes. This is a very RUST FREE TRUE AZ CAR like most we have sold over the years, and its still better then most out there for sale or bondo-ed up to look restored. WE ARE LOCATED IN TUCSON Its still so clean, If the car doesnt sell, Im okay with that too because Id love to keep it its that nice. Also, if you buy a car thats been "restored", who knows what sort of surprises are hidden under new paint or thick undercoating. People are flipping cars all the time when most of the jobs are fast, for a quick buck and quality suffers. Email us with ANY questions before you bid please Our Impeccable FEEDBACK speaks for itself. We show you as much feasibly possible via pics. Dont let auctions with little to no pics try to fool you. If they cant take the time to take pics of areas under the car they are selling, maybe its not the best car to buy long distance. With other auctions, you really dont know what to expect until you take the car apart. While we go over our cars ALL OVER with great pics to help making your decision easier. Along with ANY other questions you may have. Email me for a quote for shipping. ARIZONA TITLE IN HAND Keep in mind, this is not a restored car !!

On Apr-28-16 at 13:51:48 PDT, seller added the following information: Another mechanic and I looked at the car today and found the distributer off 180. And now it sounds like it wants to start... . so we are trying to get it to start by the end of the day. I MAY NOT NEED A TIMING CHAIN !!!!! It will need a carb, but I may of located a good used one too. CHECK BACK FOR MORE UPDATES FRIDAY OR SATURDAYOn Apr-30-16 at 12:14:14 PDT, seller added the following information: I forgot to mention that some of the wiring under the hood got chewed on my a packrat. The 2 areas I found where the 1 section dr side firewall where it comes thru and unplugs has damage and the few wires that run to the coil and water temp sensor are the only ones I could see will need repair or replaced. When trying to start it we ran a hot wire fromthe battery to the coil for now and jumped the solenoid for now. It cranks fine and we got spark that way. Those are the only 2 areas I noticed that where obvious.
