This car came with Air Conditioning, all the interior AC components are all there. Fanblows air strong andquite through the vents... thecompressor that mounts to the front of the engine isremoved. That said there are still the standard Ford flow thro fresh air vents that blow great,and thefront wing windowshould you choose not to reinstalla compressor.
The original am radio plays static through the original speaker..antenna issue maybe.but there arefour other Bose speakers mounted nicely all around to install your own cd or blue tooth player.
No original horn, but does have a very cool sounding air horn installed should you have to pass inspection, the reverse lights, high beams, parking lights, side markers and blinkerswork great should you have to deal with inspection when registering the car out of state.

The car stops well enough for normal driving and the break padsare in good shape as far as I know I've never pulled the wheel off to look,the break fluid reservoir is new, break lines are in okay shape,but if youplan on hot rodding around town, spenda 100 and replace the break lines.
Missing knob on the front passenger seat, but the comfortable Mustangstyle bucket seats give the carasportylookyou don't get in a bench seat while remaining true to the era seats look new no sags, rips, or visual wear.

Findingany cool sportyTwo door, no post coupemodelfrom the fordmuscle car era under market valueis near impossibleanymore. Let alone onethat's not tore up somehow. One thing is for certain,this car will not loose its original investmentover time, if taken care of, has no reserve,is onegreat looking1968, Galaxie body style, LTD.
1968 LTD modelLine Changes. The LTD name was debuted as the highest trim level package on the Ford Galaxie 500, but became its own model in 1967.
The 68 LTD is smaller than the 67 or 69 !
Ford introduced the "Hidden headlights" grill in the1968 LTD'sgiving the car an ultra coollook,with there powerful8-cyl "Thunderbird special" engines,LTD.'sfit right into theFords muscle car era line up.While offering luxury, and room for the whole family. Over 19 cubic feet of trunk space and plenty of horse power.
While the 1967 LTD.'s were slightly bigger in width than the 1968's by 1 inchthey wereslightlyshorter by 0.3 inch's.
The 1968 Ford Ltd was the top of the line in the full sized ford lineand the lastyear ofwhat's known as the 1st generation LTD's. while gettingbigger in 69.
In 1969 the LTD line grew by 2 inch's in wheel base and almost 3 inch's in length making the 1968 LTD smaller and 44 pounds lighter than the 1969.
Feed Back and reviews. I have yet to find a bad review of any of the 68 LTD lineup. Everyone who has ever owned one absolutely loved driving these cars. I personally love driving this car I get comments a lot when driving it,. clean, sporty, sounds mean and runsfantastic... My grandkids geta kickriding inPapa's"Gold car" I've heard said more than once about this particular car. "Whenit first caught my eye, it looked good, but the closer I got to it, the better it looked and when I heard it run Wow,I really like it !"
Overdrive kicks in at 80 mphmakingpassing on the freeway a breeze. has asmooth ride with a large wheel base, driving on the highway is actually fun. and around town Its a safe vehicle with enough horsepower to maneuver.The car stays surprisingly level in turns and has good ground clearance.
