RAT RODDERS: This chassis is perfect! Not much to add, just look at the pics. Build an obnoxiously loud powerplant into this vehicle with some great wheels and you'll turn heads at any show or cruise-in!!
RESTORERS: Original, largely unmolested, 90% complete chassis. Mechanically, the 390 CID engine, 3 spd. Cruise-o-Matic, and radiator currently sitting in the car came from a 62' T-bird. The engine is not bolted in nor hooked up so it is currently not running but the gentleman I purchased the car from recently said he ran it before dropping it in this Starliner. I believe he's an honest guy but since I haven't seen it run I can't make any promises about it or the transmission so THIS CAR IS BEING SOLD "AS IS" WITH NO WARRANTIES. The car has a steering column and pedals for a standard transmission setup which is great if you'd want to put a floor shift in. Although everything seems to be complete the working condition of the differential, brakes, suspension and dashboard components is unknown. The steering components need some work.....definitely needs an idler arm. All original wiring seems to be in place. All windows and doors work nicely except the passenger door doesn't latch. The doors, hood, and trunk all open and shut very nicely. As far as the body is concerned, it appears the car has spent an extensive period of time out in the elements. The fenders, door bottoms, lower rockers, and lower quarters all have some degree of rust-thru. Surprisingly, other than an area under the pedals, the floors, under the sill plates and the wheelhouses are very solid. The frame and body mount areas all look very good. The trunk, tailight panel, and upper quarters are all in pretty good shape. The very bottom of the trunk floor above the gas tank is thin and has some holes. Hood lid and trunk lid lips have some rot. Front grille area is solid but a better radiator support will be needed. Firewall area is excellent. Roof and areas around the glass are ok. Vandals have claimed a lot of the glass. Only the wings, driver's side quarter glass, and (fortunately) the rear window are good. The stainless window trims are still fine. Tires are matching and brand new!! Major components missing are front bumper and wheel covers. The T-bird radiator would work with this car but is uninstalled because the T-bird mounts and shroud don't fit the Starliner.
PURISTS: You may find this one to be a little rough to bring back to a great original but very possible with a good donor vehicle. Originally a 292 CID with a 2 spd. Ford-o-Matic. Looks like it still has the original 3:10 rear end.

PLEASE NOTE: This car comes with a CLEAR TITLE !!

I have tried to provide a complete and honest description of this car's condition. Examine all photos closely and please ask questions. As you probably know, Starliners are very desirable and are worth big money when completed. Although this car would require a good deal to get it in top shape, there is a lot of cushion between what this car can be acquired for now and what the completion value would be. Do your research. THANK YOU FOR YOUR INTEREST !!!

Ford shutters Genk assembly plant in Belgium

Tue, Dec 23 2014

Ford has become the latest automaker to close one of its European assembly plants. The facility in question is located in the Belgian city of Genk and has been in operation since the early '60s when it started building the Taunus, Ford's first mass-produced, front-drive model. As part of the plan first announced over two years ago, the Genk Body & Assembly Plant is now closing its doors after half a century in the business and over fourteen million vehicles built. Although the plant itself employed some 5,000 workers, once you take into account the suppliers built up around the plant, the overall impact on employment in the area edges closer to 12,000. Genk Body & Assembly had until recently been tasked with producing the Mondeo sedan (which in its current iteration we know as the Fusion) as well as the S-Max and Galaxy minivans. Production of the Mondeo shifted in 2013 to the company's plant in Valencia, Spain, which also handles the Kuga crossover and Transit Connect cargo van, and will soon take over the minivans from Genk as well. The move follows a similar decision undertaken by General Motors to close the Opelwerk plant in Bochum, Germany. It also reflects a scaling down of automobile production in Belgium specifically: although Audi still manufacturers in Brussels and and Volvo in Ghent, Opel closed its plant in Antwerp in 2000 and Renault ceased production in Vilvoorde back in '97. However Ford still maintains its famous proving ground half an hour to the north in Lommel, Belgium.

Signature Edition Ford Shelby GT500 Super Snake to get limited production run

Mon, Dec 22 2014

The upcoming Ford Shelby GT350 Mustang keeps grabbing a horde of headlines thanks in no small part to the pony car's 5.2-liter V8 with a flat-plane crankshaft, magnetic dampers and other go-fast goodies. However, as the new contender enters the ring, Shelby American is saying goodbye to the old GT500 and the company's even more powerful Super Snake version with its new Signature Edition model. Limited to a total of 50 conversions on 2007-2014 coupe or convertible GT500s, the Shelby American Signature Edition packages some of buyers' most common choices into a single vehicle with a few extra touches, as well. The heart of it all is a 3.6-liter Kenne Bell supercharger to replace the V8's standard blower and take power up to a claimed 850 horsepower for the latest models. To keep things running at the proper temp, the mill gets an upgraded radiator, heat exchanger and aluminum cooling tanks, too. The rear brakes are also improved to slow this stallion down. In addition to the boosted power, buyers get some extra style. These special Super Snakes are available in all of the colors available on them from Ford, plus a range of shades for the stripe, and the wide body package can also be added as an additional option. The limited version wears 20-inch forged wheels from Weld that are 9.5-inches wide at the front and 10.5-inches at the rear and feature Signature Edition center caps. Inside, there's a commemorative badge with Shelby's signature on the airbag cover and Signature Edition floor mats. Finally, customers get a day training at the track to learn how to control this beast as part of the package. Orders for the Signature Edition are being accepted through January 31, 2015, and the modded model is priced at $44,995.00, which is in addition to the price of the stock GT500. Read below for Shelby American's full announcement of this limited Mustang. SHELBY AMERICAN'S SIGNATURE EDITION GT500 SUPER SNAKE PACKAGES TO HONOR FINAL 2007-2014 MODEL YEAR CARS NEWS RELEASE FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE · Shelby American to offer 50 total Signature Edition Ford Shelby GT500 Super Snakes Â· Special badging and stripe colors offered for every model year for first time in history Â· Offer expires January 31, 2015 LAS VEGAS Â– Dec. 20, 2014 Â–Shelby American, a wholly owned subsidiary of Carroll Shelby International Inc.

Forza Horizon announces January Recaro Car Pack with LFA N"urburgring Edition

Wed, 26 Dec 2012

Another month, another car pack for Forza Horizon. This time it's the Recaro Car Pack featuring a motley gang of cars and trucks: the 1983 GMC Vandura G-1500, 1995 Ford Mustang Cobra R, 2012 Cadillac Escalade ESV, 2005 Mercedes-Benz SLR, 2012 Lexus LFA Nürburgring Edition and 2012 Lotus Exige S.
It'll be up for download on Xbox Live on Tuesday, Jan. 1, 2013 for 400 MS Points. As usual, if you have the Forza Horizon Season Pass you can get them all free, and Season Pass holders will also get a bonus car that's not pictured: the 2009 Pagani Zonda Cinque Roadster.
The Pagani is everything opposite to that Vandura, but while you might not ever win anything with the van, you can always use the back of it as a place to give out free hugs. Check out the video and press release below for more details.
