Exterior:
Body over all is a very straight car. Has some rust bubbles over rear wheel wells. Floor pans look good except for a small 6" X 6" spot in trunk. All trim is in excellent straight usable condition with the exception of one piece on driver side somebody ran a screw through, useable and straight but needs to be repaired. If you know anything about these cars they have miles of trim. I could probably sell the trim for a much as I want out of the whole car. Has a dent in passenger rocker panel but no rot, just surface rust. Somebody at one time installed a spotlight on drivers door and an antenna on drivers rear quarter, I think that hole is where the water that caused the hole in trunk floor came from. 

Interior:
Everything is there, seats have been recovered once but original cloth is there under and door panels are original and complete, has under dash AC unit. Not sure if aftermarket or factory.

Drivetrain:
Originally a 300 HP 390 with C6 Automatic. Engine is missing but rest remains intact.
I have a used original 1961 3 Deuce intake complete from manifold to carburetors if interested for an additional 1200$. I was gathering parts to make a 401 Horse Z code clone, but recently found a nice Z code car so I am switching gears. I will help with shipping but funds need to clear bank prior to pick up. Anyone is welcome to come look at it it, it's a nice car to start with and in my opinion nice enough at this point to just go through mechanicals and make a nice rat/cruiser out of it. You could get this thing on the road pretty quickly and cheaply that way and improve anything else you wanted as you go. I have had it for about 5 years but have too many projects. My sons all three want to make a rough cruiser out of it but I think it has to go. 

I apologize for the bad pictures but it was snowing out and I didn't really want to deal with pushing the coupe under it into the snow to get better pictures, if there is something else you would like to see just ask and i would be more than happy to send additional pictures. I am motivated to sell but not desperate. If you know Starliners, cars like this in this condition are hard to come by. This car is for sale locally and on other Galaxie forums so I reserve the right to end the auction at any time. Call me with questions. Greg 402 578 1888

Ford investing $500M in engine plant for 2.7L EcoBoost production

Sun, 30 Mar 2014

Ohio is a hot area for Ford at the moment with the announcement just a few weeks ago that production of the next-generation F-650/F-750 medium-duty trucks would move from Mexico to the Ohio Assembly Plant in Avon Lake, Ohio. Now, Ford is investing $500 million to hire 300 workers at its Lima Engine Plant in Lima, Ohio, to add production of the twin-turbo 2.7-liter EcoBoost V6 for the 2015 F-150.
The latest investment will be used to add a new flexible engine assembly system and renovate 700,000 square feet of the plant for machining and assembly areas. The Lima factory already builds Ford's 3.5-liter and 3.7-liter Duratec V6 engines. The plant opened in 1957, and it's on track to build its 40 millionth engine later this year.
Ford claims that the 2.7-liter EcoBoost will offer V8 performance with better efficiency in the F-150. It comes standard with intelligent stop/start that doesn't activate when the truck is towing or in four-wheel drive, and it's made from a combination of compacted graphite iron and aluminum for low weight and high strength. The company says that V6 engines have already proven popular in the F-150 with 57 percent of trucks in 2014 being equipped with either the naturally aspirated 3.7-liter or turbocharged 3.5-liter EcoBoost engines.

Ford sells 7-millionth Explorer in America

Mon, 17 Nov 2014

Say what you will about the evolution of the Ford Explorer, from roofed Ranger to body-on-frame sport utility vehicle to unibody crossover - the bottom line is that it's been a tremendously successful model for Ford. In fact, the Blue Oval automaker has sold seven million Explorer models in the United States alone.
The milestone, marked nearly a quarter-century after the introduction of the original in 1990, comes on the eve of the introduction of a new Explorer at the Los Angeles Auto Show this week. We don't yet know how the new Explorer will shape up, but we're mere days away from finding out.
Now heading into its sixth generation, the Explorer has formed the basis of Ford's utility lineup for over two decades. The Explorer landed on the market right around the time that the Bronco was trailing off, predating the company's expansion into larger SUVs like the Expedition and Excursion and crossovers like the Escape, Edge and Flex.

Toyota Camry, Honda Civic inventories mounting as US automakers make inroads

Thu, 11 Jul 2013

Two of the hottest-selling cars in America aren't quite as hot as they used to be. The Toyota Camry and Honda Civic are both seeing dealer supplies increase in the face of renewed competition from the much-improved Detroit Three.
According to a report from The Detroit News, the Camry's dealer inventory is 15 days higher than its seasonal average, while the Civic is 25 days above average. Things aren't expected to get better for Toyota and Honda, as RBC Capital Markets analyst Joseph Spak marked the two Japanese offerings as "at risk for reduced output."
The Detroit Three, meanwhile, are seeing supplies dwindle as demand increases, especially for the Ford Fusion, which has seen an 18-percent increase in 2013 sales, and the Chevrolet Cruze, which was second only to the Camry in June 2013 sales.
