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".

George W. Bush's 2009 Ford F-150 fizzles with $300,000 bid at Barrett-Jackson [UPDATE: w/video]

Sun, 20 Jan 2013

Despite some truly impassioned pleading from Jay Leno himself - including calling on Arizona's notoriously Republican-rich voters to beat the $600,000 level set the last time Leno sold a vehicle for this particular charity... in California - bidding for George Bush's 2009 Ford F-150 pickup truck stalled at $300,000.
All proceeds will be sent to the Fisher House Foundation, so at least it's $300K going to a good cause. Feel free to check out the live image gallery above, which includes shots showing Leno's skills helming the auction, and read through the official auction description below.
*UPDATE: Video of the auction and Leno's prods to the crowd for more money can now be seen below.

Ken Block is at it again in Gymkhana 6

Mon, 11 Nov 2013

If there's one thing we'll say about Ken Block and his latest installment in the Gymkhana family, it's that it's far more structured than previous videos, but that doesn't mean it skimps on the entertainment. Block is on a purpose-built course which was touted as "The... Ultimate... Gymkhana... Grid... Course" in last week's preview. Unlike Gymkhana 5, which took placed on closed streets in San Francisco, this course seems much more compact.
Block has an entire array of challenges to tackle in his 650-horsepower Ford Fiesta ST, and none of them look particularly easy. In fact, we'd argue that Gymkhana 6's grid course requires much more precise driving that previous titles. There are Segways, Lamborghinis and massive pieces of construction equipment that all must be dealt with.
We've got the entire 6:28 of Gymkhana madness for you down below. Scroll down for the video and then hit Comments and let us know how this installment compares to previous Block works.
