Be the only 1960 Ford Starliner at your next car show or car cruise!  Set your self apart from Tri-Five, Camaro and Mustang crowd.  Everyone seems to have one of those cars but you will be the only one with this rare beautiful find!

 Here is you chance to own one of the very best rare and original unrestored 1960 Ford Starliners out there!  I am the second titled owner of this rare barn find vehicle!  I promise that there are not many rust-free 1960 Ford Starliners left.  This car is still wearing its original Ford paint, trim, interior and running gear.  Anyone who knows  anything about 1960 Fords knows that it is next to impossible to find one in a rust-free, unmolested condition with all the hard-to-find parts still intact.  This car could be kept in original condition (which is what I did since they are original once), or it would make for an easier unbelievable restoration.  Money ahead if you started a restoration with this vehicle. You will be hard pressed to find another original Starliner with 49,000 actual miles on the odometer. 

The overall condition of this rare find is excellent!  The body is straight and rust-free.  No patch panels or replacement parts will be found on it or needed.  The trunk is solid/rust-free and still has all the original mats and cardboard.  The trim(stainless) is in above average shape and is all there.  As with any car that is dripping with chrome or stainless there are some dings and dents (see pictures).   The paint is the original Corinthian White from the factory.  There are still the "red checks" from the factory where it passed inspection.  It does show some scratches and rock chips which is to be expected from a car that is 54 years old!  Motor and transmission are in excellent running shape.  Fly in and driver her home if you like.  The engine compartment and trunk were detailed to prevent any type of corrosion.  There was one spot on the driver side rear quarter panel that was blended due to a cat spraying it occasionally (this happened before I owned the car). No pets or children have been near it since.

This Starliner is equipped with FE 352 2BBL and the Cruis-O-Matic 3speed automatic transmission.  This car still runs and drives like it did back in 1960!  The motor has been tuned up (runs like a sewing machine) and the exhaust has been replaced and upgraded to original-like dual exhaust.  Manual brakes and power steering have been gone through and are in perfect operating condition.  White wall tires are brand new and have less than 1,000 miles on them.

Like the rest of the car the glass and interior is original and in amazing shape.  This car came with the black appointed interior.  Door panels and kick panels are original to the car and are like new(see pics). No rips, scratches or tears.  Only the padded dash has one crack next to the center speaker grill.  Headliner is original with no rips.  Most people at car shows are amazed at the condition of the interior!  Even the clock will run(well...most of the time).  Glass is clear with no cracks or blistering.  All the original Ford stamps are where they should be!

 This 1960 Ford Starliner comes with the original window sticker!  It was built in Chicago, IL and later sold at a dealership in Carthage, IL.  I picked up this barn find over 5 years ago in South Central Illinois looking for parts for my other restoration project.  The car had been in a farmers garage covered in blankets since 1985.  I purchased this vehicle, had everything mechanical checked out (including fuel system) and off I went.  Drawing crowds at every event or stop light.

Options on the vehicle are as follows:  352 2bbl, 3spd Cruise-O-Matic A/T, Power Steering, AM Radio, Clock, Magic-Aire Heater, Back-up lights,  Rear Bumper Reflectors and  Full Wheel Covers.  I do have other options available from 1960 if you are interested in but not included in this sale.

This sale is for PICK-UP ONLY!  Buyer is responsible for $1,000 deposit no later that 48hrs after auctions ends.  Balance to be paid in full at time of pick-up.  Cash or certified bank check.  If payment by check I will not release title until the check clears.

Shelby GT500 laps N"urburgring in under 7:40?

Wed, 30 Oct 2013

A couple of weeks ago we brought you footage and official times of the new Chevy Camaro Z/28 lapping the Nürburgring. With a 7:37.47 lap time, the Z/28 emerged as the fastest muscle car ever to lap the circuit. But what was missing from that picture was how fast the king of all Mustangs, the Shelby GT500, could manage to lap the Nordschleife.
Ford never released any information or footage of the GT500 on the Nürburgring that we were aware of - that is, until the guys at SVTPerformance.com put in a request for Mustang videos. Among the clips they received was never-seen, in-car footage of the Shelby GT500 lapping the circuit. And boy did it hustle.
Although not quite official, the video seems to show the GT500 lapped the venerated German track in a touch under 7:40. That would make it a tick or two faster than the Camaro ZL1 - but what of the Z/28? By Chevy's quoted time, the Z/28 is still faster than the GT500, but SVTPerformance suggests GM may have fudged the numbers a bit and scrubbed half a second or so off their lap time.

Ford Tourneo ready for duty in Connect, Courier and Custom flavors [w/videos]

Wed, 06 Mar 2013

Ford was relatively quiet at the Geneva Motor Show, but it did take the opportunity to roll out its new family of Tourneo vans: the Courier, Connect, Grand Connect and Custom. As the passenger version of the Transit cargo vans, the new range of Tourneo models vary from the B-segment Courier up to the fullsize Custom. The Connect and Grand Connect are based on the redesigned 2014 Ford Transit Connect.
With an overall length just three inches longer than the Fiesta hatchback, the Tourneo Courier seats four to five passengers, and it offers a choice of three engines: the 1.0-liter EcoBoost or two small diesels. Like the 2014 Transit Connect was saw in Paris last year, the Tourneo Connect comes in a five-seat configuration while the Grand Connect can seat seven. Finally, the Tourneo Custom seats up to nine passengers, and it is available in two lengths up to 210 inches long putting it just six inches shorter than a standard-length E-Series van and about a foot longer than the Explorer.

Ford highlights new F-650 and F-750 with full-size Tonka show truck [w/videos]

Thu, Mar 5 2015

Who among us hasn't been tempted by the prospect of buying a big yellow truck and painting the name Tonka along the side? Well apparently there were some folks over at Ford who were just as tempted, only they actually had the means to make that childhood fantasy a reality in the form of the truck you see here. Revealed at the NTEA Work Truck Show this week in Indianapolis, this Tonka show truck stands nearly 10 feet tall. It's painted bright yellow, just like the one you played with in the sand box (and probably still would given the opportunity and maybe no one else looking) and has a blacked-out nose treatment and special graphics. As you can see, it's also equipped with a working dump bed, and has a truly staggering 33,000-pound gross vehicle weight rating, built to showcase the Blue Oval's new line of medium duty trucks. Of course "medium duty" is a relative term, and the new F-750 is clearly a heavier piece of machinery than the company's own Super Duty pickups, but they're lighter-duty than a proper big rig. The new 2016 Ford F-650 and F-750 are just as tough as the models they replace, but they're now quieter and more comfortable to use. In fact, Ford says its 6.7-liter Power Stroke V8 diesel is now 25-percent quieter inside the cabin at highway speeds, 45-percent quieter at idle and 35-percent quieter standing outside in front of the grille. Ford notes that it's the only medium-duty truck manufacturer that makes its own engines and transmissions. That Power Stroke diesel comes with 270 horsepower and 675 pound-feet of torque as standard, but can be upgraded to 300 hp and 700 lb-ft or all the way up to 330 hp and 725 lb-ft. Commercial buyers will also be able to choose between Regular, Super and Crew Cab models with a straight-frame, dock-height or tractor-towing frames, meaning that whatever it is you've got to haul, chances are high that the new Ford F-650 and F-750 can be set up to get the job done.
