1968 Ford XL Fastback

This was filmed Saturday June 5, 2010 at the Fleetwood Country Cruize in London, Ontario

I've seen this one before on the street, i was kinda glad i got a chance to catch it at the car show, and it sure catches the eye with that fastback body and the cool grille that has the hideaway headlights, overall i really like this model, and i like the hideaway headlights over the standard grille, also this one is packing a nice 390 FE under the hood, and it also has the unique thruster styled shifter for the automatic transmission, overall this is a great example, with only only some minor period correct custom touches,

Very cool cars, kinda "Chargerish" (front end, some body lines anyway). Off-beat muscle cars are always cool to see. This one looks immaculate!

i really like the flip headlight grille, it makes them look more aggressive for sure, and off-beat cars as well as muscle cars are often cool, as they almost seem new again, as they don't get much publicity like Mustang, Chevelle, Camaro, Charger, Challenger

I'd take it.

Very nice, Brent! I really like the shade of blue on this car, but I probably would not like it on many other cars. Thanks for sharing!

in 2001 I had a 1968 Ford Galaxie LTD ( it was mine but my dad wanted the engine and transmission out of it ) with a 390 and a C6 transmission. It had a bit over 200,000 miles on it and the hone marks were still in the bore lol and I was 5 when I had the car too.
