****This is the description furnished by the Owner*** I am a Broker for the owner of this private sell

Hello and thanks for viewing this 1968 Ford Xl. This car is equipped with either a 429 or 460 engine. It is not a 390 although it was originally equipped with one. This car actually rides and drives quite nicely and accelerates down the road with ease. The C6 transmission shifts smoothly and without hesitation. The car has been a daily driver, for one of my employees, for the last 6 weeks as he has been repairing his car. This car has given him no problems and the only problem he has reported to me is that the brakes are a little stiff and the hide a way headlights are a little slow, but work fine.

The story on the car is as follows: I bought the car around 7 months ago as a project to relive my youth as a 68 Ford Xl is what I drove when I was 17. I know, we all try to relive our youth, but I had some very fond memories in my 68. The car needs paint; as I showed in the pictures, but the panels are very straight and the car is as close to rust free as I have found on a car in many years. I bought it and had the full intentions of repainting, restoring it and keeping for a weekend cruiser, but a friend of mine made a statement that changed my mind. He looked at it a made the comment that it looked like a 60’s model NASCAR. I shrugged it off and was content with my plan until I went to a car show and met David Pearson in person. We walked around with him for quite a while and I genuinely liked the guy. My same buddy said, “Wouldn’t it be cool to make your car look like something he would’ve driven when he was racing.” And that’s how this car came about as we lettered it just like his car from the era. I am in the middle of four other projects, so I have decided to sell a few.

Now onto the condition of the 68; the engine is pretty impressive and sounds amazing. We installed a Comp Thumper Cam that hits very nicely. We even have attached a video so you can see for yourself. We also installed a noisy gear drive timing set that gives it a little more attitude. The interior is presentable with the dash being in the worst condition, it is cracked. The seats are impressive, for their age and to the best of my knowledge, they are tear free. The headliner is in great shape, the package tray has come unglued where it would go behind the seat and is a very simple fix. The door panels are in very good

Ford GT concept adorns Forza 6 cover

Tue, Jan 13 2015

Ford has rolled in to the Detroit Auto Show this week with a staggering array of performance machinery, including the new GT Concept, Mustang GT350R and F-150 Raptor. That's the exciting part. The thing is, that most of us won't have the opportunity to drive any of them, let alone really wring them out on the track. Fortunately, they'll all feature in the upcoming release of Forza 6. Not only that, but the new Ford GT will adorn the box cover as well. Featuring on the cover of the latest installment of what Microsoft (citing Metacritic ratings) says is "the highest-rated racing series of the past decade" would be a coveted place of honor for any automaker. The box art for the original version (at least the one first released in North America) featured a modified Acura NSX, followed by a Nissan 350Z drifter on Forza Motorsport 2, an Audi R8 on Forza 3, Ferrari 458 Italia on Forza 4, an SRT Viper on Forza Horizon, the McLaren P1 on Forza 5 and the Lamborghini Huracan on Forza Horizon 2. This, then, will be the first time a Ford will be the poster child for a new version of the popular game. With carbon-fiber construction, active aero and a twin-turbo EcoBoost V6 pumping out over 600 horsepower, it strikes us as a place well deserved by Dearborn's finest. Microsoft and Ford Unveil Ford GT as the Cover Car for "Forza Motorsport 6" Debuting Exclusively on Xbox One Ford's new line of performance vehicles will star in Microsoft's newest and most advanced racing game DETROIT – Jan. 12, 2015 Â– Microsoft, Turn 10 Studios and Ford unveiled their new collaboration today at the North American International Auto Show, announcing the all-new Ford GT ultra-high performance supercar as the featured cover car in the next iteration of the acclaimed racing simulation franchise for Xbox, "Forza Motorsport 6," launching exclusively on Xbox One. The GT serves as a technology showcase for Ford with its ultra-efficient EcoBoost engine performance, advanced aerodynamics and lightweight carbon fiber construction. It begins arriving in dealerships in select markets globally late next year. In addition, the companies revealed that Ford's performance vehicle line-up will appear in "Forza Motorsport 6." This includes the GT, ShelbyÂ® GT350 Mustang and F-150 Raptor debuted by Ford earlier today at the auto show.

Long winter means most automakers won't curb summer shutdown

Sun, 18 May 2014

A lot more happened during this latest brutal winter than days of snow and Netflix binges. Automotive sales took a battering. After all, going out car shopping when it's eleventy-billion degrees below zero isn't a good time.
Because of this Old Man Winter-induced sales slump, inventories are abnormally high as we head into the summer car buying season. That's led some analysts to predict that automakers will be more inclined to idle factories this summer, in a bid to trim some of the built-up inventory. Traditionally, American manufacturers offer up a two-week break in the middle of summer, although the burgeoning sales of the past few years have seen this practice become less popular.
"We're likely not going to see an acceleration this year," Jeff Schuster, a senior vice president at LMC Automotive, told The Detroit News. "We'll see production increases in 'pockets' but I don't know if it will be as widespread as in recent years."
