1961 Ford Galaxie Starliner Solid Survivor One Repaint X Code Car on 2040-cars

Year:1961 Mileage:62000 Color: Body over all is a very straight car

Advertising:

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

Deep discounts — $12K, $13K, $16K — are fueling a pickup price war

Mon, Jun 4 2018

Heavy discounts of up to $16,000 per vehicle are fueling a "truck war" among full-size pickups sold in the United States by the Detroit Three, a Reuters analysis shows. Strong U.S. sales this year of the highly profitable big trucks have helped offset lagging passenger car sales. But it is not clear how much of the truck demand is linked directly to ample factory incentives and dealer discounts, or how far sales might decline without those subsidies. A Reuters survey of Ford, General Motors Co's Chevrolet and Fiat Chrysler Automobiles's Ram truck dealers across the United States indicates stores are offering deep discounts the country's bestselling full-size pickup trucks. "The walls are not crashing down on full-size trucks," said Sam Fiorani, vice president of global vehicle forecasting at AutoForecast Solutions in Chester Springs, Pennsylvania. Detroit-based automakers want to keep cranking out their high-margin trucks, he added, and "giving up a little of the profit is the cheapest way to do it." Stores are offering discounts of up to $12,000 on the 2018 Ford F-150, which remains the best-selling vehicle in the country, recording more than 80,000 sales in May. Discounts run up to $13,000 on the 2018 Chevrolet Silverado and as high as $16,000 on the Ram 1500. Average transaction prices for full-size pick-ups range from around $42,000 to $45,000, industry analysts and automakers say. All three companies are spending furiously - GM and Fiat Chrysler to help sell off carryover 2018 trucks to prepare for redesigned 2019 models, and Ford to sustain its long-held sales crown. A supplier fire that temporarily shut down production of the F-150 last month "changed the game," said Jeff Schuster, senior vice president of forecasting at LMC Automotive in Troy, Michigan said. The supply halt nudged Ford's crosstown rivals "to ratchet up incentives on the current models to go after weakness at Ford," he said. Deals advertised on the companies' official websites range from rebates and low-interest loans to ultra-cheap lease rates, but they are not telling the whole story. Ford, for instance, advertises a $2,000 rebate and a $500 financing credit on sales of certain F-150 models. But James Collins Ford in Louisville, Kentucky, is offering discounts of up to $12,215 on the 2018 F-150 XLT SuperCrew 4x4. The price cuts are even steeper at a number of GM and Fiat Chrysler dealers. Quirk Chevrolet is selling the 2018 Silverado 1500 Double Cab at $13,000 off sticker.

Ford Recalls '13 Escape For 11th Time

Fri, Aug 15 2014

Only in dealer showrooms for two years now, the 2013 Ford Escape has already been recalled for safety hazards 11 times. The most recent recall for the beleaguered vehicle came Friday, when the company announced it was recalling almost 160,000 Escapes and Focus ST hatchbacks from the '13 and '14 model years because of a wiring problem that could cause the engine to stall. Caused by a faulty wiring harness, Ford said the defect could result in reduced power, hesitation or outright stalling. The company said it knew of no crashes or injuries caused by the flaw. Customers affected will be notified by mail. It was the latest problem for a vehicle beset by recalls from the moment it started rolling off the assembly lines. Starting on July 6, 2012, the '13 Escapes have been recalled for an assortment of problems, including multiple hazards with fuel lines that could result in engine fires, fluid leaks in the engine that could also result in fires, problems with engines overheating, delays in airbags deploying and more.

Weekly Recap: Auto execs face life in prison for recall delays under proposed legislation

Sat, 09 Aug 2014



The stiff punishments are part of broader transportation legislation, but clearly McCaskill has automakers in her sights.
Missouri Senator Claire McCaskill threw down the gauntlet this week, proposing a bill that could send auto executives to prison for life if they were found to have delayed a recall. She also wants to eliminate the limit for fines for auto safety violations, which are currently capped at $35 million.
