RAT RODDERS: This chassis is perfect! Not much to add, just look at the pics. Build an obnoxiously loud powerplant into this vehicle with some great wheels and you'll turn heads at any show or cruise-in!!
RESTORERS: Original, largely unmolested, 90% complete chassis. Mechanically, the 390 CID engine, 3 spd. Cruise-o-Matic, and radiator currently sitting in the car came from a 62' T-bird. The engine is not bolted in nor hooked up so it is currently not running but the gentleman I purchased the car from recently said he ran it before dropping it in this Starliner. I believe he's an honest guy but since I haven't seen it run I can't make any promises about it or the transmission so THIS CAR IS BEING SOLD "AS IS" WITH NO WARRANTIES. The car has a steering column and pedals for a standard transmission setup which is great if you'd want to put a floor shift in. Although everything seems to be complete the working condition of the differential, brakes, suspension and dashboard components is unknown. The steering components need some work.....definitely needs an idler arm. All original wiring seems to be in place. All windows and doors work nicely except the passenger door doesn't latch. The doors, hood, and trunk all open and shut very nicely. As far as the body is concerned, it appears the car has spent an extensive period of time out in the elements. The fenders, door bottoms, lower rockers, and lower quarters all have some degree of rust-thru. Surprisingly, other than an area under the pedals, the floors, under the sill plates and the wheelhouses are very solid. The frame and body mount areas all look very good. The trunk, tailight panel, and upper quarters are all in pretty good shape. The very bottom of the trunk floor above the gas tank is thin and has some holes. Hood lid and trunk lid lips have some rot. Front grille area is solid but a better radiator support will be needed. Firewall area is excellent. Roof and areas around the glass are ok. Vandals have claimed a lot of the glass. Only the wings, driver's side quarter glass, and (fortunately) the rear window are good. The stainless window trims are still fine. Tires are matching and brand new!! Major components missing are front bumper and wheel covers. The T-bird radiator would work with this car but is uninstalled because the T-bird mounts and shroud don't fit the Starliner.
PURISTS: You may find this one to be a little rough to bring back to a great original but very possible with a good donor vehicle. Originally a 292 CID with a 2 spd. Ford-o-Matic. Looks like it still has the original 3:10 rear end.

PLEASE NOTE: This car comes with a CLEAR TITLE !!

I have tried to provide a complete and honest description of this car's condition. Examine all photos closely and please ask questions. As you probably know, Starliners are very desirable and are worth big money when completed. Although this car would require a good deal to get it in top shape, there is a lot of cushion between what this car can be acquired for now and what the completion value would be. Do your research. THANK YOU FOR YOUR INTEREST !!!

Ford Fiesta banned from SCCA autocrossing because of rollover risk

Wed, Jan 14 2015

Autocross can be a great way to break into motorsports, especially at SCCA events that allow run-of-the-mill, street-legal vehicles to be run through the cones in parking lots across the country. But while a wide array of vehicles are eligible, not every one is. And now the Ford Fiesta has been removed from the list of qualifying vehicles in the Sports Car Club of America's Street category for solo events. The removal of the Fiesta was publicized in the latest issue of the SCCA's Fastrack News bulletin, which stated that, due to roll-over risk, Fiestas "do not meet the requirements and are to be removed" from the HS category of eligible vehicles. H Stock (or HS for short) is the lowest category of vehicles certified by the SCCA for use in sanctioned events. The disqualification applies to Fiestas from the 2011 model year onwards, and does not apply to the Fiesta ST, which remains eligible. Of course the Fiesta isn't the only model deemed ineligible for SCCA autocross events. According to Jalopnik, other small hatchbacks and crossovers including the Dodge Caliber, Fiat 500, Scion xB and iQ, Nissan Juke and Mini Countryman are also prohibited from competition. We've reached out to both Ford and the SCCA for clarification on the issue, and will issue an update if and when we receive any substantial information.

Project Ugly Horse alive and kicking at Road & Track

Thu, 29 Aug 2013

The hallways of the Autoblog campus are much quieter now that Zach Bowman has taken his prose, along with his welders, wrenches and hammers, over to the digital pages of Road & Track, but that doesn't mean our favorite project Mustang is gone forever. Project Ugly Horse is still coming along, and Zach has gifted us another update on his unfoxy Fox Body.
Last we saw of the Ugly Horse, Zach was strengthening up the '89 Mustang's chassis as he prepares to stuff the turbocharged, direct-injected EcoBoost engine of a Ford Focus ST under the hood. First things first, the old mill must go. Head on over to Road & Track to catch the latest chapter of Project Ugly Horse.

Ford earnings take a dive on investment, slowing sales; workers get $6,900 in profit sharing

Thu, Jan 29 2015

Ford Motor Company's pre-tax profits for 2014 took a beating, falling to $6.3 billion, a $2.3-billion drop from 2013, while overall revenues fell from $139.4 billion to $135.8 billion. Net income for 2014, meanwhile, plunged 56 percent, from $7.18 billion to $3.19 billion. Yeah, those aren't great numbers. While Ford's figures are largely down across the board, some of the weaker numbers aren't too difficult to explain away. The company launched 24 vehicles across the globe in 2014, including some of its biggest and most important volume models, like the 2015 F-150, as well as iconic offerings like the new Mustang. The result of this is both increased investment as well as a drop in total sales – US market numbers were down 164,000 units compared to 2013. Recall claims and high warranty costs also did a number on the Blue Oval. "2014 was a solid yet challenging year for Ford - with our investments and a record number of new products launched around the world positioning us for strong growth this year and beyond," Ford CEO Mark Fields said in a statement. Ford's 50,180 UAW workers in the United States will receive profit-sharing checks of $6,900. In some markets, Ford's fortunes were impacted by outside factors. Europe, for example, recorded more sales (up 70,000 units) and higher revenues (up $2.2 billion), but still reported a $443-million pre-tax loss. Blame was placed on the crumbling Russian economy, which has suffered from sanctions and slumping oil prices. Despite its troubles last year, the company still seems bullish on 2015. Ford's pre-tax outlook remains unchanged, as the company expects to make anywhere from $8.5 to $9.5 billion on the back of higher revenue from the company's automotive operations. We expect strong growth and improved financial performance in 2015 driven by our investments in new products and capacity," Ford CFO Bob Shanks said of the company's future.
