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.

Top torque-to-weight ratios under $100k, $50k and $25k

Tue, 07 Oct 2014

Horsepower may steal a lot of headlines, but the always-more-complex torque figure is often a critical one for both the workingman and the motoring playboy. The measure of rotational force represents the twist that can liquefy one's tires or haul one's horse trailer. Good stuff.
It follows then, that as with the horsepower-to-weight list that we assembled for you a few months ago, a list of cars that offer the most pound-feet with the fewest pounds to carry, is an interesting one to break down. Sure, there's a big difference in how the torque is applied from a turbocharged six-cylinder in a Swedish luxury sedan and a massive heavy-duty truck's turbo-diesel. But being the car/stat geeks that we are, we think it's kinda neat that those two vehicles rank near each other where torque and weight intersect.
As with the horsepower list, we've given you figures as pounds per every one pound-foot. Again broken down into broad price categories, we've got a mixed bag of 2014 and 2015 models here, too. Every effort has been made to select the most up-to-date prices and specs, and we've also to omitted some '14 cars that won't be re-upped after the ongoing yearly changeover.

Brits recreate iconic Bullitt chase scene

Tue, 13 May 2014

Recreating the famous chase scene from Bullitt has become almost an art form in its own right. We've seen it done in a music video, with scale models and even in commercials. There are few films that are as defined by a single scene as the 1968 classic. Even if you don't know a single beat of the plot, the Highland Green Ford Mustang racing a Dodge Charger through the hilly streets of San Francisco is famous. It's so well known that the Silverstone Classic has created a homage to promote its celebration of the 50th Anniversary of the Mustang at this year's event in July.
Filmed around the famous UK circuit, the short film generally gets the key points of the scene right. It even has a green Volkswagen Beetle that keeps reappearing, as in the movie. Unfortunately, its Steve McQueen stand-in looks a little too old for the role. While the video shortens the chase considerably, it's still great to see these '60s behemoths leaning and sliding around the track. Scroll down for a touch of nostalgia thanks to one of the greatest scenes ever in cinema - we've got both the recreation and the original chase seen from the movie waiting for you.

2020 Harley-Davidson GMC Sierra brings the iconic brand to a new truck

Sat, Jan 11 2020

The Harley-Davidson Ford F-150 rides alone no longer. Thanks to the Tuscany Motor Company, it now has a fellow truck associate to cruise with side-by-side on the open roads. Introducing the 2020 Harley-Davidson GMC Sierra, which will make its official debut at the 2020 Barrett-Jackson Scottsdale auction. For years, a Harley-Davidson special edition package has been associated with the Ford F-150 nameplate. Although Ford does not offer a direct option from the factory, Tuscany Motor Company answered the demand and now builds truck packages that carry the famous American motorcycle name. With the direction of Harley-Davidson, Tuscany creates interior and exterior customizations that reflect notable and iconic features of the bikes. This year is the first time Tuscany has ever offered a Harley-Davidson package on a GMC Sierra, and as expected, it's pretty similar to the one offered on the F-150. The package includes at least 60 exclusive parts, and the Sierra is available in Onxy Black, Summit White, or Satin Steel Metallic.  Setting the tone are Fatboy-inspired 22-inch milled aluminum wheels wrapped in chunky 35-inch all-terrain tires. As Tuscany is a division of Fox performance parts, the truck rides on a specially designed BDS suspension with tuned Fox shocks and lateral stability bars. The truck also has a redesigned front bumper and grille with an integrated LED light bar for off-roading, power running boards with rock guard trim and entry lights, color-matched Harley-Davidson-designed fender flares, custom front fender vents with the Harley logo, an induction-style hood, a redesigned rear bumper, and a tuned exhaust with billet tips. More badging, tailgate cladding, a windshield header, orange tow hooks, and a bed rug add extra pizzazz. Finally, for all the planes, drones, and aliens who are eyeing pickups from the sky, the tonneau cover is debossed with the Harley-Davidson logo.  Inside, the fan pack includes leather seating with orange diamond stitching, and piano black door panels, console, and trim. Harley-Davidson badging and branding is on the seats, on the center console, on the floor mats, the door sill inserts, the instrument gauges, and even the pedals.  If this is up your alley, and you're interested in buying, the Sierras, no matter the color, start at $94,995 before taxes and fees.
