****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

2015 Ford Mustang Convertible shown on Twitter [UPDATE w/video]

Thu, 05 Dec 2013

It hasn't yet been 12 hours since the hotly anticipated 2015 Ford Mustang has been let out into public view. After a series of evocative leaks over the course of the last days, we brought you a full deep dive of the sixth-generation pony car at the dawning of today. And yet, here we are rushing to bring you news of a new Mustang variant, already.
Be it part of a plan to keep the Mustang fervor at full boil, or a misunderstood email somewhere in the chain of command, Ford UK has unceremoniously tweeted a picture of the 2015 Ford Mustang Convertible. For a newly global Mustang, getting our first look at the droptop from the convertible-crazy British does make some amount of sense.
As for details, well, you're looking at them. Brandon Turkus reported yesterday that the Mustang 'vert would make use of a fully electric convertible mechanism, and that it would be of fabric construction rather than some kind of retractable hardtop. We see here that the fabric part is clearly true, and it does look as though Ford may still be employing the same kind of manually attached tonneau cover that exists right now. Of course, our view from this angle isn't great, and the particulars are still up in the air.

Subcompact sales slump, yet again

Ford cuts 950 Russian jobs on weak demand

Thu, 03 Apr 2014

The Russian auto market, in decline for the past year and further hit by the declining value of the ruble and recent sanctions over its annexation of Crimea, has forced Ford to cut jobs and shifts at two of its joint venture plants there. Around 700 of the 2,700 total workers who build the Russian-market Focus and Mondeo will be cut at the plant in Vsevolozhsk, near St. Petersburg as it drops to a single production shift. A second plant about 700 miles away in Yelabuga, in the Tartarstan region, will lose 250 workers. That plant builds seven vehicles, including the Explorer, Kuga and Edge.
The Moscow Times says Ford has been especially hit by the market decline, the overall market losing 5.5 percent in 2013 compared to the year before, but Ford sales dropping 18 percent in 2013 year-on-year. This year isn't going any better, with The Blue Oval posting a 21-percent decline through the first two months of 2014. That's why, though the Yelabuga plant builds the CUVs that customers are moving into, even it is facing cuts.
The job cuts in Vsevolozhsk come on top four-week plant shutdown planned so that the paint and body shops can go to one shift. In a statement, the company said, "Ford Sollers remains absolutely committed to the Russian market and is confident it has the right product plan, people and assets to deliver long-term profitable growth."
