Before we begin, we want to make things very clear. This is a used car, and is likely not in perfect condition. If you're looking for a car that is 100% perfect, you need to purchase a new car. Also, we do not sell parts of any kind. 1968 Ford Falcon sedan, equipped with the 200 cubic inch 6 cylinder engine and manual transmission. This always California car is still equipped with the original black and yellow California licence plates that were issued to it when the car was new. These plates will stay on the car regardless of where the buyer resides. There is a clear California title on the car. This car came to us from a northern California donation agency so any history on the car is unknown. Mileage is simply the current odometer reading, actual mileage is unknown and it is exempt from mileage reporting due to age. I wouldn't be surprised if this was actual mileage, based on the overall condition of the car, but we simply don't know for sure. The car is in overall good condition with normal wear inside and out and runs excellent. I have driven this car occasionally since we acquired it and it has no problems. It runs excellent, it's easy to drive, and would be an economical car with the 6 cylinder engine. It's fun to drive, as people notice nice vintage cars as you go down the road. This car is completely stock and original, right down to the hubcaps. The Falcon still has the ORIGINAL paint, which considering that it's a 42 year old car, it still looks good. Because we're unfamiliar with the cars history, we always recommend the buyer having the vehicle serviced prior to driving any significant distance. But the car currently starts, runs, and drives just fine. Unlike some other sellers on ebay, we do not put "mint" in the titles of our vehicles and then proceed to bury the flaws in long paragraphs where they can be overlooked. Please take the time to view all of the photographs and point by point descriptions. We've shipped many vehicles overseas and have many happy customers there. If you're a potential overseas customer you can count on our assistance. Remember we "hand select" each vehicle, always personally inspecting them before purchasing them. We purchase these cars as if we were shopping for our own personal car, selecting the best quality vehicles we can locate. And in turn, we usually pay more than the average cost for these cars, but our customers appreciate the higher quality of vehicles that we sell. Remember that unless otherwise mentioned in the listing; assume all other areas of the vehicle are in original condition with normal wear. Please make sure that you read all areas of the description, and then email any questions that you have. We certainly welcome anyone who wishes to personally inspect the vehicle.

VEHICLE INFORMATION: Be advised, this is a used vehicle, and as such, it may have or develop issues or problems at any moment. It is likely not perfect. I can't guarantee that I described every physical and internal defect or flaw. The vehicle is sold as-is, where-is, with no warranty expressed or implied. Please don't have unreasonable expectations that this is a new car. The auction could be canceled at any time, for any reason deemed by the seller. All information described above is based on the condition of the car when the ad was written. Please feel free to contact us via email if you would like to see the vehicle prior to bidding. We only ask that you not wait until the last day of the auction, and please follow through on your appointment. Your bid is your agreement to purchase the vehicle, not to come and look at it and then decide. You have ten days to do that before the end of the auction. I've done my very best to describe the vehicle as honestly as possible. I don't know everything about the vehicle's condition and don't claim to. I didn't go over every inch of the car inside and out, but tried to accurately describe the major points. The vehicle has been described as accurately as we know of its condition at the time of the auction. The information listed in the auction is subject to unintentional error. We know of no reason why you couldn't drive it anywhere, but of course cannot make any guarantees. Federal Law states that any vehicle over ten years old is exempt from mileage reporting due to age. Mileage may vary upon delivery due to occasional use and test drives. Some vehicles are factory equipped with only a 5 digit odometer. On these vehicles, mileage indicated in the auction is an odometer reading, as the odometer may only be capable of 5 digits. On these cars, mileage indicated by the odometer may or may not be correct. Please email any other questions you might have. VEHICLE SHIPPING AND PICKUP: If you need a vehicle shipped, there are numerous vehicle-shipping companies.

It would be advisable to locate your own shipping company if you’re an over sea’s customer. We will be here to assist with the transport by supervising the loading of the vehicle onto the truck, and other details as needed. Make sure you inquire to DAS information regarding insurance coverage's on the vehicles they transport. The vehicle can be stored free of charge for up to two weeks after the auction has ended, or longer with prior notification and agreement. Vehicles left past the agreed storage date are subject to a $15.00 per day storage fee. We are open for vehicle pick up during the week. We are not open on the weekend, but can make an exception with prior arrangement. Sorry but we spend weekends with our families. VEHICLE REGISTRATION, SALES TAX, SMOG, FEES, ETC: We are a licensed California auto dealer. The state requires that if you're out of state and plan on coming here to pick up the vehicle, you need to know that California law REQUIRES the buyer to pay sales tax, registration, and smog fee's if they pick up the car and drive it away. This is still the LAW even if you put the car on your trailer and it never touches the California roadway. If you're out of state, avoid can avoid all of these required fees by having your car shipped to your state. This in most cases is less expensive anyway by the time you figure gas, lodging, and other expenses. If you're an out of state buyer but picking up the vehicle and driving home, we can reduce the state required registration to a $16.00 one trip permit, but the other fees will still apply. If you are a California resident, we collect sales tax, registration fee, and a $58.25 smog inspection fee. We then provide you with temporary registration in the window so you can legally drive the vehicle until your title and license plates arrive in the mail. All sales require a $55.00 DMV and paperwork fee. This covers the costs of our mailings of the title, bill of sale, license plates if required, and going to the DMV for you on your behalf. PAYMENT INFORMATION: Please follow the rules of the auction after it is completed, regarding deposit and full payment deadlines. Anyone not following through with the auction will be reported to Ebay and NEGATIVE FEEDBACK will be left. There is a clear title on the vehicle. A non-refundable deposit of $500.00 must be received by me within 24 hours of the close of auction via Paypal, money order, or cashiers check, sent via overnight express mail. After that, full payment needs to have been received within the next five business days of the close of auction. WE DO NOT ACCEPT PAYPAL AS PAYMENT FOR THE BALANCE DUE. In other words, full payment balance after deposit is due 5 business days after the auction close date, and must be paid via cash (in person only for cash), cashiers check, or money order. If you are unable to follow the simple rules of the auction please don't bid. If you have questions, ask them NOW. VEHICLE REGISTRATION AND TRANSFER: There is a clear title on the car. All vehicles that are sold to California buyers that legally require a smog inspection will include it, unless otherwise stated in the auction. Any California buyer will be responsible for all state sales tax, license and actual smog inspection fee. Any out of state buyer will need to contact their own DMV office for registration and transfer information. We wish to thank all of our past customers for their business, and look forward to meeting our new ones.On Aug-19-10 at 16:27:44 PDT, seller added the following information: PLEASE NOTE: We wanted to clarify that after further examination the factory dash pad was professionally redone. The original pads on most 68 Fords were very prone to cracking, which explains why this one was previously restored/redone. Please email if you have any other questions. Thanks for looking.
