Up for auction is a hard to find 1960 Ford Starliner. These cars are getting super hard to find this car is very buildable this car has been sitting since 1973 . Starting with the engine it is a 292cid V8 with 2 speed auto trans. I did put new plugs and wires as well as changed the oil the motor runs good given it has been sitting for years, The brakes are decent but probably need to be bled do to sitting. This is a PS car. The body is very solid with minum rust in the trunk (typical Starliner) but is not bad the floors and rockers are super solid. I did remove the fuel tank due to a hole in it and put a race cell in the trunk just to run the motor and test drive it. All the stainless is there except the pass side fin piece all the trim was In the trunk when I found the car. I did spray a light coat of primer on the body due to some bare spots caused by weather. I also installed a new front glass in the car (800.00) all the other glass is good. Interior is old and needs gone through due to sitting for yrs, the seats need to be recovered and door panels need redone as well. I did take all the carpet out so I could show HOW SOLID THE FLOORS ARE.. That's pretty much it I have described the car as being a very restorable car. Thanks for looking and feel free to CALL OR TEXT ANYTIME. for info 801 903 3351 Randy. I have the right to end auction early due to being for sale locally. There will be a NON REFUNDABLE DEPOSIT OF 500.00 DUE WITHIN 48HRS AFTER AUCTION END.. Happy Bidding.

Around back there's a one-piece deck spoiler and "race-inspired lower aero-valance."
1969 Ford Talladega GPT Special is a SEMA showstopper
Thu, 07 Nov 2013Rad Rides by Troy has unleashed upon the SEMA crowds this custom 1969 Ford Torino Talladega GT Special, and it's a beauty. The car calls to mind the classic Holman Moody stock cars that circled NASCAR tracks in the late 1960's, driven by the likes of Mario Andretti, Dan Gurney and David Pearson, who won the Grand National title in both 1968 and '69 in a Ford Torino.
Even though it has plenty of stock-car influence, there's nothing retro about the car's design or powertrain, other than the fact that the engine is based on a Ford Boss 429 block. Fuel injection, aftermarket aluminum heads and a high-tech custom computer system combine to send 750 reliable ponies to the rear wheels through a Tremec five-speed manual transmission. Brakes measure 14-inches all around, with six-piston Wilwood calipers up front and four-piston units out back.
There's custom bodywork abound, painted in a two-tone Tennessee Whiskey Gold and Daytona Sand finish. Check out all the amazing details in the image gallery below, and scroll down to read all about it in designer Troy Trepanier's own words.
1964 Ford GT40 prototype to be auctioned in April
Wed, 12 Mar 2014The Ford GT40 owns a firm spot on the list of the greatest American racecars ever made, being the first car from the United States to take an overall win in the 24 Hours of Le Mans. And now Mecum will auction what it claims is second-oldest GT40 still in existence at its Houston sale on April 12.
The story of the GT40 is fascinating. Henry Ford II attempted to buy Ferrari in the early '60s, but Enzo refused. Ford decided if he couldn't have them, then he would beat the Prancing Horse on the track. Ford went to Carroll Shelby and asked him to spearhead the program. The early cars combined a steel monocoque chassis with Ford's 4.2-liter V8 engine pumping out around 350 horsepower. The first prototype made its public debuted on April 1, 1964, at the New York Auto Show.
Shelby kept building prototypes, including GT/104, which is for sale here. This version featured a lighter steel chassis and was raced at Le Mans in 1964. However, a fire forced it to retire. It was then repainted and had a 4.7-liter (289-cubic-inch) engine fitted. The chassis had its best finish at the 1965 Daytona Continental 2,000 Kilometers where it finished third with Bob Bondurant and Ritchie Ginther behind the wheel. Later that season, it was shipped back to Ford where it was restored and displayed at auto shows until 1971 when the automaker sold it. Since then, it has had many private owners.
