RARE 1961 Galaxie Starliner. Featured on Spike TV's Powerblock series in March of 2013. This was a one-owner car with 78K original miles. It was purchased from the estate by an auto broker and I purchased the car for restoration. The car only had one spot of rust about the size of a silver dollar in the trunk to the right of the spare tire. The body and frame on the car are as good as new. Most of the original trim was used, including the grill. The washboards were replaced, bumpers were replaced with re chromed ones. 


Originally from Prentiss, MS. Stayed there the whole time. Original window sticker, paperwork from the original owner. Original keys for the ignition and trunk. 

Stainless steel brake lines, new brakes (original drums re conditioned) . Original 3 speed cruise o matic replaced with a re built c-6. Cross member moved slightly to accommodate the larger trans. New front and rear springs and shocks, upgraded the master cylinder to a dual unit for safety. New 3:55 traction lock rear end, original axles were perfect. 

Original, matching numbers engine. Z code 390 Thunderbird Special. 4 barrel . New Edelbrock carb with electric choke. Replaced exhaust manifolds with factory ford hi-po manifolds.

Original padded dash and sun visors. Everything on the car is newly restored. Only several hundred miles since completion. 

Engine receipts and specs. Dynoed at 325 HP and 400 ft/lbs torque. Nice acceleration and the power drums stop it nicely. The original power steering unit has been restored and has a bit of surge on occasion. 

Occasional clicking in the rear end gears as they continue to lube. The car is just fantastic. The color is stunning, it sounds great, and is a show stopper. 

The car is just about as good as it gets if you want a nicely restored Starliner from a great car to begin with. I have hundreds of pictures documenting the car prior to restoration and the restoration process. I realize it is NOT the legendary Hi-Po 390. The stickers on the engine look good and dress up the engine. However, it is a Z code, factory 300 horse engine. 

Have the original wheels and Starliner hub caps, original transmission as well. 

The car took a few years to complete and we sold our farm. New home only has room for one classic and my Fairlane gets the nod. Plus, have a 16 year old that is about ready for a car. Need the room. You can reach me on my cell at 615-557-5685

You can see the episode of the car if you Google " Powerblock Starliner".

Next-gen Ford Taurus spotted in China

Fri, Jan 2 2015

We're getting our first look at the next-generation Ford Taurus thanks to some spy shooters in China. While the camouflage and angle of the photo keep changes to the body a secret, there's no hiding the massive hexagonal, chrome grille up front. It lends a look very similar to the Fusion. Beyond the eye-grabbing grille, the headlights are reshaped, but are still quite squinty. There's also a new lower air dam that runs the width of the front with LEDs at the top corners. The hexagonal grille fits the design of the Fusion well, but this single image makes it look a little too big and disproportionate for the fullsize Ford sedan. Maybe the integration works better from a different angle, though. The next-gen Taurus is rumored debut for the 2016 model year and reportedly rides on a stretched and widened version of the Fusion's platform. Ford's big goal for the new model is allegedly to shed as many pounds from the scales as possible. The sedan also may get a nine-speed automatic to boost fuel economy. The engine range is still a mystery, but EcoBoost options are practically a sure thing, possibly even making up the whole model lineup.

Weekly Recap: Matthew McConaughey's star shines brightly for Lincoln

Sat, Jan 3 2015

The commercials were a little strange at first, but the ensuing spoofs were hilarious. And all jokes aside, Matthew McConaughey has made a difference for Lincoln. Advertisements starring the Oscar winner launched in September, and the results have been impressive. The number of customers clicking on Lincoln.com to check out the MKC – the crossover McConaughey pitched – has tripled since the ads began airing, a spokesman told Autoblog. They also generated 4.4 million views on YouTube and spawned parodies by Ellen DeGeneres, Conan O'Brien, South Park and Jim Carrey on Saturday Night Live, which racked up another 15 million views. Most importantly, Lincoln's sales have increased 15 percent through November, helped significantly by the strong launch of the MKC. Without the addition of the MKC, Lincoln's sales would have been essentially flat last year. The MKC has received solid reviews from consumers and the press, though it has had several recalls. "The overwhelming response to the MKC campaign sparked truly great awareness for Lincoln," Andrew Frick, Lincoln group marketing manager, said in a statement. Now Lincoln has launched another round of spots, which kicked off New Year's Day during college football bowl games. This time, McConaughey is hawking the MKZ sedan and its hybrid sibling. The spots, called Diner and Balance, use the same artistic formula as the earlier ads, with McConaughey intoning seriously about the cars in dramatic settings. They were shot over two days in Los Angeles and were directed by Nicolas Winding Refn, a Danish filmmaker who directed the 2011 move, Drive. The ads continue Lincoln's multiyear deal with McConaughey, who has said he's been long been interested in the brand. He starred in the 2011 thriller, The Lincoln Lawyer, as a defense attorney who worked out of a Town Car, though that was before his deal with Lincoln. In one of the earlier ads, McConaughey claims: "I've been driving a Lincoln since long before anybody paid me to drive one. I didn't do it to be cool. I didn't to it to make a statement. I just liked it." That sentiment appears to have worked for the MKC's launch, and with this new advertising blitz, Lincoln hopes it carries over to the MKZ.

Amazon can now deliver packages to some Ford and Lincoln vehicles

Tue, Apr 30 2019

Nothing succeeds without complications popping up along the way. Sure, Amazon's Prime delivery services have made shopping more convenient than brushing your teeth, but leaving millions of packages on doorsteps comes with an inherent danger: Thieves might swipe them without anybody knowing. Amazon's solution is called Amazon Key, which allows delivery men and women to enter a customer's house or car to drop off a package. This week, Ford and Lincoln announced they would be partnering with Amazon to integrate the service into some of their vehicles. Ford is following in the footsteps of Volvo and General Motors, as both companies announced their participation about a year ago. That includes Cadillac, Chevrolet, Buick, and GMC. Key will be made available for 2017-and-newer Fords equipped with FordPass Connect, and 2018-and-later Lincolns with Lincoln Connect. Key is not available everywhere, but it can be used in dozens of city throughout the U.S., and the network is expanding. To look for compatibility for your car and city, check on Amazon's dedicated Key website. Like every other tech invention these days, Key requires a smart device application, which requires a one-time setup. The service is available on the Key app or the FordPass and Lincoln Way apps. While ordering on Amazon, customers will then select in-car delivery during checkout. Input a public delivery address, and park the car within two blocks of that address. While the order is in transit, Amazon will provide status updates, another feature that takes away some of the anxiety of waiting for a package to be delivered. The package will be put into the car within a four-hour window, and users will get notifications that the exchange is complete, and the car is again securely locked. Should customers change their minds, they can always cancel the delivery method, and the car will remain locked. In that case, the delivery could go to the building where the car is parked, or be rescheduled. Ford imagines this as the beginning of numerous car-based services in the near future that can be scheduled while the owner is not there, such as car washes.
