1968 Ford Galaxie 500 XL

Subsequent refurbishment and modification work was carried out by Gas Monkey Garage in Season 16 of the television series Fast Nâ?? Loud. Power is from a 428ci Q-code V8 paired with a Cruise-O-Matic transmission, and the car features custom paint and bodywork as well as aftermarket wheels, brakes, and suspension. The body was removed from the frame for rust repair and prep work followed by a repaint in copper. Modifications include color-matched bumpers as well as black stripes added to the rocker panels. Staggered-width Budnik 18â?³ wheels feature a bronze finish with chrome lips and are mounted with Nitto Invo tires. Wilwood disc brakes with slotted and cross-drilled rotors are found at all four corners. The black interior is trimmed with vinyl upholstery on the front bucket seats, a matching rear bench, and walnut-style accents. Additional features include a stock AM radio and a full-length center console with a horseshoe shifter. The 428ci Q-code V8 is fed by a four-barrel carburetor and was factory-rated at 340 horsepower when new. Power is routed to the rear wheels via a three-speed Cruise-O-Matic automatic transmission and a 9â?³ Ford rear end.
