FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION we have for sale a nice 1968 Galaxie XL convertible. It is powered by a sweet running 390 engine, onnected with a C6 automatic transmission, inch rear end, resentable red interior and white paint. The convertible top is good, t is power operated. The car drive very good with power steering. The brakes are good, ower assisted and drums all around. The body looks great to me, loors look original with very little under coating.

DO THE TURN OVER HEAD LIGHTS WORK? Yes, hey have worked every time for me.

HOW IS THE CONVERTIBLE TOP? Very good condition, ts not new, ut it has no holes and fits good. It is a power top and itgoes up and down good. It does have a boot to cover it when down, tsin good condition, ut is a pain to put on.

HOW IS THE ENGINE? Its a good running 390, hear no knocks or rattles and see no blue smoke? We did repaint the top to make it look decent for your local car show. I do not know how many miles on it or if it has been rebuilt, ut its a good engine.

HOW IS THE TRANSMISSION? Its a C6 automatic, t shifts good and I feel no slip.

WHAT IS THE REAR-END? Its a tuff 9 inch, hear no grinding or growls.

HOW ARE THE BRAKES? They feel good to me, t is 4 wheel drum type.

HOW DOES THE CAR DRIVE? To me it drives extra good, t is power steering.

HOW IS THE PAINT? Driver quality, t looks good, ut you will find some tiny flaws if you look for them with a critical eye. I see no rust bubbles, o big dents and I consider the car straight when I look down the sides. It is a repaint, can see tape lines when I look real close for them. Its good paint, ust not a perfect show car job, ts driver quality.

HOW IS THE CHROME? The front bumper is nice, he back bumper has lots of pitting. The door handles are original and pitted. The trim chrome is decent, ut could use polishing.

The convertible top back glass is good, ts the hard plastic type. The windshield is clear, ut has a rock eye on the passengers side.
