Just to clarify, there WAS a Galaxie XL Gt, I do know that they were produced in 1968 and 1969. It was an upgraded suspension, stripes and the all important rim-blow steering wheel. In 69 the base engine was a 390 in the gt although I have only seen them with 429s. I really do not think that the GT existed in any other years.

Are you sure your not thinking of a Torino?

Yes, I am sure, had a 69 for a while and miss it. I have seen at least one 68 GT, though not recently. I have seen these pop up on ebay from time to time.

Technically the XL version was called the Ford XL, but everyone knows it is just a trim level on the Galaxie.
 
How do I know? I own a 1967 Ford XL convertible. Never in any of my literature have I seen a 67 "GT". The line-up was:
 
Custom
Custom 500
Galaxie 500
XL
LTD

In 1969, when I ordered my XL Convertible, XL was only a trip level. It was a gimic. I was so stupid!! Gee...if you order the XL trim level...you now have a 'sports car' Ford.
 
I know you could order bucket seats in 1969. I ordered a bench. I also ordered the trailer towing package. I still have this car. It has a 390 cu in 2 barrel carb.. It is still stock.
 
I think the car the guy saw is CA was a 'hot rodded' Galaxy. It was not a production car.

All these guys below are right. No such thing. Caution and avoidance would be my advise. Available Galaxies in 67 were limited to:
500
500XL
LTD
7 Litre was 68 and up
 
If you email me a picture I can tell you exactly what you are looking at.

It's probably no more of a gimmick than the SS package for the Impala. All the SS did was give you special badges and trim. All the go-fast stuff, like the big engines, etc, was still optional, as was better suspension, wheels, tires, etc. I'm not sure, but I think even the bucket seats, console, and floor shift might have been separate options. And Plymouth did a similar thing with its "Sport Fury"

I've seen 6cyl Impala SS...I don't know if I have seen a 6cyl Galaxie XL, but no doubt some were made.
