Clean, Green, and Pristine! 1969 500 XL $14995

Up for sale is a 1969 Ford Galaxie 500 XL. This car is incredibly rare, not only because of the color combination, but also because it is a highly original vehicle. This car has only been owned by one family since new, and was very well taken care of.

Exterior

-The Lime Gold color paint is the original color, but was repainted once, many years ago. It shows very well, and there are no major scratches or chips.
-The black vinyl top is original. It has some very light scuffs and a few small holes, but is in decent shape. It has the glass rear window.
-The power top mechanism works like new.
-All of the lights work, and the front headlight bucket turns around just as it should.
-The wheels are original, and are in excellent shape. The tires have lots of tread left.
-The brightwork is all original and in great condition, as is all of the chrome on the car.
-The panels on this car are very straight, and are all original.
-This Galaxie is incredibly solid. The trunk, floorboards, frame, and everything is as solid as could be. There are no rust issues whatsoever anywhere on the car (look at the door jambs).
-Everything on this car is original, except for one repaint.

Interior

-The white interior is original, and is in excellent shape. There are no tears or stains.
-The original black carpet great shape.
-The radio and 8-track player work, as well as all of the gauges.
-The original owner"s manual is present, along with several original documents that came with the car, and many maintenance records.
-The power windows work, as does the antenna.
-The headliner is very tight, and the top is well-insulated.
-The original white convertible top boot is in excellent shape.
-The courtesy lights work, as do the dash lights.
-This convertible is air conditioned (brand new pump). The climate control works well. I have yet to put the R12 in it. Once it is in the car, it will work great.

Drivetrain

-The original 390 ci (with a 2 bbl carb) engine has only 35k original miles on it. The engine has never been out of the car. That is 35k miles from the factory!
-The engine, factory rated at 265 horsepower, pulls strong.
-The automatic transmission shifts smoothly, and goes in and out of gear as it should.
-The power steering and power brakes work well, and are very responsive.
-The suspension is original, and the car rides and drives like a dream.

This car is an incredible find, and a very high quality survivor. There were only 6,910 convertibles produced in 1969. The number of original, Lime Gold on White, 390 ci, air conditioned models that are still on the road today is very, very low. Do not miss out on this one. Finding another one like it would be a very tough task. Feel free to ask any questions through email, or call Dave at [url=tel586) 945-4266](586) 945-4266[/url]. More pictures are available upon request. Thanks!
