'68 Ford XL Fastback
« on: January 21, 2022, 02:41:57 AM »
I know there are some that are building and restoring, these full size Fords.

I was sorting through some of my old magazines and found this very extensive write up on this car in the Jan '68 edition of Car Life so, I copied this Road Test section of it.

I know that Werby likes these original performance figures, for his data base, too.

Thanks Frank.

These old "boats" do respond very well to modifications.
5:14 gear traction lock, converter, headers, exhaust, intake, head porting, dome pistons, camshaft.
Enough to leave 427 impalas car lengths behind lol.
