Craig,

That's a very cool 68 Galaxie! What's wierd is that I had a 69 XL that was almost identical to your car, red paint, black top, etc. Only real difference in the two is different tail-lights and headlight covers. I bought mine "done" (meaning a so-so amateur restoration) and never had to do much to it. It also had a 390 auto that would absolutely SCREAM. I've been an FE fan ever since.

P.S.... here's the story of the one that got away. I had a chance to buy a 69 XL GT (fastback) with a 429-4V (something like 11:1 compression!) power windows & doors, every option known to God & man. $500. My now ex-wife threw a fit and I didn't get it. I miss the car, not the wife.
