Staunton, Illinois, United States
|
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. If you have any other questions, please call 618 -580-3385 |

Lincoln dealers to build standalone dealerships separate from Ford
Tue, Aug 14 2018Way back in 2011, Ford Motor Credit Co. established Lincoln Automotive Financial Services as part of what Automotive News called "a campaign to set the Lincoln brand apart." Lincoln's been on a wild, public ride in the seven years since, which included a near-death experience in 2013 under former Ford CEO Alan Mulally. But Ford's luxury brand has rebounded and is ready to take another shot at setting itself apart. Automaker execs have asked dealers with twinned Ford- Lincoln dealerships in 30 major U.S. markets to build standalone stores. According to company data, the move isn't a gamble — dealers with standalone showrooms sell more vehicles. Lincoln's standalone dealerships in the 30 major U.S. markets that account for 70 percent of luxury segment sales increased 48 percent from 2014 to 2017, compared to an overall Lincoln brand sales increase of 18 percent. After a former Ford-Lincoln dealer in Minneapolis opened a devoted Lincoln store this January, sales have climbed 60 percent so far this year. Dealers in Orange County, California, and Atlanta, Georgia have seen sales double since opening exclusive Lincoln storefronts. The sales manager at the Atlanta dealer said, "Customers have pulled up and said, 'This is how it should be.'" Robert Parker, Lincoln's head of marketing, said, "Customers expect the environment to be equal to the product. They want to buy a luxury product in a luxury environment." That issue repeatedly comes up when a mass-market brand launches a luxury product; observers have lately wondered how much the issue affects sales of Hyundai's Genesis brand. Out of 845 Lincoln showrooms nationwide, there are 150 Lincoln dealers in those 30 major U.S. markets. So far, 72 dealers have made or are working to make the standalone switch on their own. Lincoln is asking the remaining 78 shops to follow suit, to agree to a new facility by July 2019 and to have the store finished by July 2021. Only the showrooms would need to be exclusive, service and other back-end departments can remain in Ford-branded complexes. Wielding the carrot, Lincoln will help dealers with relocating, and pay more for every car sold. Wielding the stick, Lincoln said that come Q2 2019, it won't let twinned dealers sell Black Label trims if they don't already. Over the next couple of years, Lincoln will complete the revamp of its lineup. Said marketing honco Parker, "The next phase of the transformation is critical.
Motorweek goes retro with '80s hot hatch shootout
Mon, 03 Nov 2014Motorweek's decades of history on television make it the perfect medium to look back into the automotive past and see how things are different now. It recently added old road test videos to its YouTube channel of the Acura NSX and Toyota Supra, as well as the Ferrari F40. For one of its newest flashback clips, Motorweek has exhumed an affordable five-car challenge of 1986's premiere hot hatches.
By today's standards, this is an eclectic field that features fondly remembered classics like the Volkswagen GTI 16-valve and Acura Integra. However, it also throws in some nearly forgotten contenders like the Dodge Colt Turbo and Ford Escort GT. The angular Toyota Corolla FX16 GT-S rounds out the group.
It's fascinating to watch Motorweek run the quintet through the slalom, down the drag strip and on various roads. What's most striking in this clip is the difference in the definition of a performance car between then and now. With its 16-valve, 1.8-liter four-cylinder, the GTI is the burliest of the contenders with 123 horsepower, but it still takes 8.8 seconds to reach 60 miles per hour. By today's standards, that would make it a plain-jane economy car, and not even a particularly quick one.
Leno recalls '90s showdown with Tim Allen and his mullet
Wed, Oct 7 2015Not many of us have buddies with garages full of classic cars, but that isn't the case for Jay Leno and Tim Allen. Of course, one of the advantages for two guys with such vast collections is occasionally getting to pit their cars against each other. The two comedians did just that in the mid-'90s with a burnout battle on The Tonight Show between Allen in a race-prepped Mustang and Leno in a drag racer. After some time away from regular television, Leno is returning to the airwaves with a Jay Leno's Garage series premiering on Oct. 7 (tonight) at 10:00 p.m. ET on CNBC. Let this clip serve as another taste of what to expect for the new TV show's mix of comedy and cars. After reminiscing about the old days in a gorgeous garage, the comedians get into two modern machines to reprise the classic challenge – after a little trash talk anyway. Don't worry because the YouTube series isn't going anywhere, though.
