Thank you for your interest and welcome to my auction for this very rare 1961 Ford Galaxie Sunliner Convertible! 

1961 Was a very distinct year for the Sunliner as it showcased the new signature round Ford taillights and last year of the mini-fins. In fact, these cars are so sought after Hagerty values a condition 1, 1961 Ford Sunliner Convertible with the at nearly $70K!!

Now, this is not a condition 1 car, however, it makes an excellent candidate for a full restoration project for those looking to put the time and money the car deserves and still see a return on investment if needed.  And for those who want a weekend cruiser for your local car shows or simply drop the top on beautiful days...well this is a perfect candidate as well. 

This particular car has little things that make it quite unique and add to it's collectible value. It is so hard to find a 53 year old car with it's original keys! It has the original owners manual! It's also a 'X' Code Sunliner, meaning it came with a 352ci V8 from factory. Included in the sale are original Ford Galaxie/Sunliner advertisements and brochures (see photos). 

The Sunliner was the high-end model for the Galaxie line up and featured many upgrades such as: Power Brakes, Power Steering, Power Top, A/C, and radio. All but a/c and radio are working on this car. 

As mentioned this car is a daily driver. The complete drivetrain including the motor, automatic transmission and rear end are in perfect working order. The interior shows very well, but does have wear and tear, such as the carpet, driver door panel and random interior finishes. The car does have a brand new top (no leaks). The exterior also shows well, but the car does need a paint job. It has fading in several spots. The car is not 100% rust free. Some rust is found on lower door panels and in the top of the trunk where it meets the convertible top (see photos). However, to my knowledge there is no chrome trims or moldings missing on the car (great news for those looking to restore). Several different parts, trims, moldings etc. are included in the sale (see photos). All main exterior lights are in working order, Wipers work, speedometer and odometer work. 

I have included as many photos possible to assist in our description. However, if you require additional photos and/or have any questions please feel free to contact me, Gaston via message or call/text (786) 486-7746.

Ford GT dominates Le Mans qualifying, gets slapped with performance adjustment

Fri, Jun 17 2016

Fifty years after Bruce McLaren and Chris Amon drove the Ford GT40 to victory at the 24 Hours of Le Mans, Ford is poised for a historic return to the Circuit de la Sarthe. The new Ford GT took the top two qualifying positions in the LMGTE Pro class, and four of the top five. Ferrari's 488 filled in the rest of the spots in the top seven, the first two from AF Corse. In other words, we're primed for a reboot of the classic Ford-Ferrari feud at this year's race. Or not, as the ACO, which organizes the 24 Hours of Le Mans, announced sweeping pre-race Balance of Performance (BOP) adjustments this morning that make this year's GT class anybody's race. In LMP1, last year's overall winner Porsche locked up the top two spots with the 919 Hybrid and will lead the entire field at race start. Toyota's two-car factory effort followed with qualifying times 1.004 and 2.170 seconds behind the pole lap. Audi rounds out the manufacturer-backed LMP1 class in fifth and sixth. Full qualifying results can be found here. The storyline for the GT cars is perfect - some say too perfect. Ford's class-leading times came after BOP adjustment to the Corvette Racing C7.R before qualifying. BOP is intended to level the playing field in the class by adjusting power, ballast, and fuel capacity. (Check out this explainer video for more, or even just if you love French accents.) But the process is riddled with unknowns and ripe for accusations of sandbagging. That is, if the Ford cars were intentionally slow in practice they could hope for BOP adjustment to improve their race chances. On the Corvette side, last year's GTE Pro winner went from the top of the field to the bottom, barely improving from practice to qualifying. If you think Le Mans is as rigged at the NBA Playoffs, well, it's not that simple. Because if Ford and Ferrari held back until qualifying - the eighth-place Porsche 911 RSR is three-and-a-half seconds off the class pole time - it was a pretty dumb strategy. This morning, the ACO tried to put things back in order by limiting the boost in the Ford GT's twin-turbo V6 and adding 11 pounds of ballast. Ferrari was also given extra weight but allowed more fuel capacity. The Corvette and Aston Martin teams were both given breaks on their air restrictors, which will allow their engines to make more power. Both Ford and Porsche also received extra fuel capacity.

2015 Ford Mustang to offer solid-rear axle, sort of

Tue, 17 Dec 2013

One of the biggest knocks against the last Ford Mustang was its solid-rear axle. Not one to actively court criticism, Ford dutifully swapped out the old-fashioned rear end for something a bit more modern in the redesigned 2015 Mustang, adding an independent rear suspension across the board.
While an IRS Mustang is great news for those that value handling and ride comfort, there's one big group that it's bad news for - drag racers. See, a solid-rear axle is a big deal for drag racers, because not only is it more durable and cheaper, but it's better for the hard launches that can make or break a race.
To satiate this vocal demographic, Ford will sell a body-in-white version of the Stang, complete with a nine-inch rear axle, that will debut at the 2014 Performance Racing Industry show. The news came from gas2.org, which cited an unnamed employee of Ford Racing at this year's PRI show.

US Air Force Thunderbirds Mustang fetches $400K at auction

Wed, 07 Aug 2013

For the last six years, Ford has created a special version of the Mustang with a military aviation theme, and then donated the car to the Experimental Aircraft Association (EAA) to be auctioned off at the annual AirVenture event, also known as The World's Greatest Aviation Celebration. The money raised goes to the EAA Young Eagles program to inspire the "aviation pioneers of tomorrow," and this year's 2014 Ford Mustang GT US Air Force Thunderbirds Edition was won with a final bid of $398,000.
Celebrating 60 years of the USAF's Thunderbirds, this Mustang GT is the only one of its kind with a paint job matching the Thunderbirds' F-16 Falcon jets and some Ford Racing performance added on for good measure. Including this car, Ford has helped raise around $2.3 million for the charity with the biggest auction price coming from the first year of the program, the F-22 Raptor-inspired Mustang AV8R from 2008, which sold for $500,000.
