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.

2015 Ford Mustang EcoBoost

Fri, 16 May 2014

Earlier this week, Ford invited us to Charlotte, NC, to ride in an all-new 2015 Mustang fitted with its turbocharged 2.3-liter EcoBoost four-cylinder. It's the first forced-induction, four-cylinder ponycar for the Blue Oval since the sun set on the 1986 Mustang SVO. We jumped at the opportunity, as only a handful of people have ever been in the passenger seat of this new car, and most automotive media won't get as close as we did until this fall.
As we revealed in our Deep Dive, Ford will slot this new turbocharged four as premium powerplant between its naturally aspirated 3.7-liter V6 and the naturally aspirated 5.0-liter V8. At last mention, the automaker said the direct-injected, all-aluminum engine will develop 305 horsepower and 300 pound-feet of torque, returning the best fuel economy of the three powerplants in the process. History buffs will note that those figures are appreciably stouter than the 200 horses and 240 lb-ft that the '86 SVO realized out of the same displacement, and the latter's figures were hugely impressive at the time. On paper, the new EcoBoost four looks to be a good fit for most owners who want to balance performance with efficiency - we were eager to see how it felt from the passenger seat.

Ward's Automotive Ten Best Engines of 2014 dominated by diesels, turbos

Thu, 12 Dec 2013

With the Car and Driver Ten Best decided, the North American Car and Truck of the Year finalists announced and Cadillac, Ram and Subaru chalking up wins with Motor Trend, it's fair to say that the automotive awards season is in full swing. The next set of trophies to be handed out will be from Ward's Automotive, which has announced the winners of its 2014 10 Best Engines.
The latest contest was marked by the widespread emergence of diesel power and the continued success of turbocharged engines. There was even an electric motor on this year's list. In fact, only three of the ten winners were naturally aspirated and only two winners returned from last year.
"We weren't looking to throw the bums out, as they might say about an election. We were just really impressed with the flood of new powertrains," said Ward's Automotive Editor-in-Chief Drew Winter. Those new powertrains include the 83-kilowatt electric motor from the Fiat 500e, the 1.0-liter, EcoBoost three-cylinder from the Ford Fiesta and the 2.0-liter turbodiesel from the Chevrolet Cruze.

Ford finally issues recall for 230K minivans over rust problems

Sun, 10 Mar 2013

The rust issue in the rear wheel wells of 2004-2007 Ford Freestar and Mercury Monterey minivans has finally led to a recall. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration began an investigation into the matter in 2011, said investigation being upgraded to an engineering analysis a year later while NHTSA tried to figure out how many model years should be included in the assessment.
Ford has decided to recall all of the 230,000 minivans potentially affected, namely those sold in salt-belt states and countries like Canada. The excess rust in the rear wheel wells was also able to prevent the third-row seats from locking to the floor of the minivan. To repair the problem, owners can take their minivans to dealers, and the dealers will place new panels in the wheel wells, replace the third-row seat mounting brackets and relocate the latches to an area away from any corrosion.
Ford says it will begin notifying owners during the last week of March.
