68 ford galaxie 500

1968 Ford Galaxie base

Selling because I have leukemia and can not work on this anymore. I have had this car now for about 4 years. Before me the owner had it kept in an open door garage for over 30 years it sat from 1980. Previous owner said it was his mothers and they had the original title. Bought it and had to fix multiple things. Heater core, timing chain, front wheel bearings, starter, valve cover gaskets, tie rods both sides inner and outer, front end link bars, replaced read shocks with heavy duty air shocks, also had a custom tow hitch installed. Car is all Original all numbers match. I used this for a daily driver for 3 years then bought a gas saver. There are issues and here they are; front drivers window does not have hardware ( i have it but its stripped out.) drivers door does not have the push button to open from drivers side ( have it just no idea how to put it back together probably needs a new one) back left lights stopped working so i had to wire it to the right so both lights come on when the right one does. (turn signals are basically flashers.) top of the rear seat needs upholstered (as seen) front seat could use a little work to on the passenger side.(right now i have a seat cover for it so it doesn't get worse.) The alignment is very slightly off because the shop didn't have the correct tool to adjust the upper control arm ( also replaced along with the spindle on front right. I also fixed the power steering. I drove this car towing a food cart 1000lbs on a trailer from Colorado springs to Utica Ohio. this car is very reliable and would make an easy restoration project for anyone who can do the work. Gas mileage is around 13-14 and when i towed from Colorado with my food cart was getting 10. Has plenty of power, heater seems a bit weak to me but then again i don't know what it did from the factory. I have multiple receipts for everything that I have done to it in the glove box, oil always changed on time and always with a quart of Lucas Oil. This car would reliably easily make it across country with no problems. I have personally put the last 30,000 miles on this car. there are a couple small rust spots starting on the rear doors and rear quarter panels very small and still easily fixable for the right person. Everything else is working as it should. oh thats not true, the horn button snapped off (still have it and can still use horn without it. (some dumb person backed into me day 1 at two miles an hour at the registration office and i was laying on the horn. ) no damage of course plastic cant hurt steel. OH YEAH.
