1969 Ford Xl Fastback (sportroof) Matching Numbers, 74k Original Miles! on 2040-cars

1969 Ford XL Fastback (Sportroof), 390 "Y" code original motor, original 3 speed FMX auto transmission, driveline, and rear end. 74k Original Box "A" actual miles!!!

This XL is gorgeous inside and out!  The car was assembled in Atlanta, GA. and spent most of its past 45 years with its second owner in Indiana.  I purchased the car 4 months ago when the previous owner moved from Indiana here to Arizona.  The previous owner was a car enthusiast like myself, and kept this car in a climate controlled garage its entire life.  He started restoration on the XL, and had put a new period correct Candy Apple Red paint job on the car that looks amazing, which is the cars first repaint - the original color of the car was Champagne Gold.  He also had the A/C compressor rebuilt, added brand new brakes, wheels and tires, Holley 4 barrel Double Pumper 850cfm carburetor, and aftermarket carpet in the interior. 

Over the past four months, I have completed most of the restoration on the car, including having a new headliner and sail panels professionally installed, package shelf reupholstered, new rear speakers installed, original door panels dyed to match the interior, re-freshed the under chassis with new paint, refreshed the motor and motor compartment with new paint, rebuilt the carburetor, replaced the valve covers with period correct Mickey Thompson's with new gaskets, replaced all vaccum lines, restored the grille area, repainted the trunk with correct spatter paint finish, added a new dash cap, had the original factory AM/FM radio rebuilt and installed, new belts, fluids, filters, aftermarket Ford Air Cleaner, shocks front and rear, the list goes on.

This car just passed Arizona's strict Emissions, and has been professionally tuned.  I have owned over 21 classic cars in my time, and this XL by far starts, runs, drives, handles, stops, and turns better than any I've owned.  The car runs better than it did when new, and needs nothing mechanically.  This car could be driven anywhere with confidence, very solid and reliable, motor runs cool, and smooth, and the original FMX auto transmission shifts smoothly, and is tight as it should be. 

Included in the purchase of this XL is the original owners manual with documentation of ownership, and maintenance, Two original build sheets, verifying all components are original and match (Motor, Transmission, Driveshaft, and Rear End), as well as the original keys.  Also included is a transferrable warranty for the newer wheels and tires. 

Although this car is extremely clean, and I'm sure will not disappoint, it does have its small flaws.  I have listed them as follows:

- This is a factory A/C car, and I have all components needed to hook it up, however I haven't done so yet.  All A/C parts will be included with the sale of the car, ready to put back on the car by the new owner.

- There is one very small ding at the bottom of the drivers side door, paint isn't cracked in this area, but there is a small ding about the size of a pencil eraser in circumference. Rest of the car is lazer straight with NO RUST ISSUES.

- Rear seat is original, and in great shape, however the front seats are buckets from a same year Torino that look great, however not the original bench seat as the car came with.  **All seats are in great shape, but the front buckets have a couple small areas where the vinyl is starting to crack by the side outer top as you might notice in the pictures.  Seats are still very presentable and structurally sound.

- there are two small paint chips that I have repaired with paint touch up, one is on the passenger side of the hood on the very far corner, and the other is on the drivers side of the hood far corner.  The previous owner hadn't aligned the hood back up correctly after paint when he tried to shut it and created the two small chips.....they are very minimal and not a big deal, but again I want the potential buyer to know everything!

- Factory Clock works when it wants to, some days it will work, others it will not, not sure why this is.  Other than this EVERYTHING on this car works, including the cig lighter, turn signals, hazards, Factory AM/FM radio, windshield wipers, dome lights, etc.

- Center console is custom made from my upholsterer, but isn't original, looks great, and flows very well with the interior.

- Hide away headlights work properly, however after the car is parked / turned off for more than 30 minutes, the headlamp doors slowly rise back up in full open position instead of staying down like they should.  This is a simple fix as its just a slow vaccum line leak somewhere that I haven't had the time to track down.

- Door panels are original, but have been re-dyed professionally.  All door panels are in great shape, the drivers door panel however had a small tear patched before we dyed them which you can see in the picture. Still looks presentable, but if I had the choice I would have it redone, or replaced. 

- All chrome on the car is original, and has some small pitting in areas showing its age, but overall shows well, is still bright, shiny, and straight.

Other than the items listed above, this car is very clean, and a well done example of an XL, buyer will not be disappointed!  If you have any questions about the car, please feel free to contact me directly at (602)799-2309.  I want to be as upfront and honest as possible, and make sure the future owner of this beautiful car is fully satisfied and aware of everything.
