1970 Ford Galaxie XL, 429 engine 4v. Impco dual fuel system. Propane power

1970 Ford Galaxie Additional Info:

This Mad Max looking thing is my 1970 XL. Basically it’s a premium Galaxie that received its own marque with the 429 and the hideaway headlights.I purchased this car from the Dean of Burbank High School’s auto shop department back in 2012. The thing that immediately caught my attention was the Impco dual-fuel system. That’s gasoline and propane. I lived in east Los Angeles at the time, where gas was already 4 dollars a gallon. Propane was only $1.25. Suddenly, running a huge big-block in Los Angeles traffic was back in 1990’sprices. It was cheaper to run the XL than it was my workaday Subaru Outback, so I gave it to my sister.This car has a very distinct lineage since before I picked it up. Word of mouth information I got was that this original blue plate California car was converted to dual-fuel in Sonora in the early 1980s. That meant it had to have spent some time down in old Mexico.I purchased it with the intention of making it the star of an indie car crash movie. I was not able to get financing for the movie, but did have some actors attached, one of whom would eventually be in “Furiosa.” One of the ways I intended to drum up interest was to take the car of Hot Rod Power Tour. You can read about that here:https://www.hotrod.com/news/propane-powered-ford-road-trips-across-midwest-power-tour-2016And here’s a video we made to an interview on Marfa Public Radio:https://vimeo.com/188009868Eventually I bought a house in El Sereno and had to give up my Lincoln Heights warehouse full of hot rod picture cars. This car itself was in a couple episodes of “Coroner: I Speak for the Dead.” Okay, too much biographical information. The facts: this 1970 Ford XL is a two door, sport-roof with a 429 and a 4 barrel auto lite carburetor. It’s got a rubber rake with American Racing wheels and two year old Cooper Cobra tires. There’s a spare and loose replacement rubber for the front and rear mags. Beneath the package tray where the original spare was contained are two stacked Manchester 11 gallon propane fuel-cells. I have run it on propane only for the passed four years.The interior is in pretty good shape. There is only one major dash crack, along the edge of the center dash speaker grille. There are a couple of smaller fissures on the outer edge of the dash. The carpet and front bench seats are both good replacements from previous to my purchase of the car. The driver’s side seat and shoulder of the bench seats are have worn through the outer fabric but not to stuffing or foam. This is a longtime southwestern car, so it’s dusty.Other than Power Tour back in 2016 and its early 80s visit to Mexico, it has lived in Southern California most of its life. After my divorce, the XL and I moved to far West Texas for three years. The car is currently parked in downtown Taos near the plaza when I’m not sliding around the dusty public parking lot down the block.Please do not “buy it now” or bid on this car if you do not intend to honor the purchase. It wastes my time and interferes with the interests of real potential buyers.
