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
Location:

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

Ford recalls Five Hundred, Mercury Montego sedans over fuel tank woes

Mon, 18 Jul 2011

Ford has announced through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration that it is recalling nearly 3,000 examples of its Five Hundred and Mercury Montego (pictured) sedans from the 2007 model year.
The action, which affects 2,945 vehicles, is due to potentially defective welds between the filler neck and the fuel tank, a condition that could result in a fuel leak or the smell of gasoline reaching the occupants. In the worst-case scenario, a leak could cause a fire. Cars with the affected fuel tank problem could see an illuminated dashboard warning light as a result of the evaporative emissions leak being detected.
Ford will inspect and replace the fuel tank at no cost to owners (those who have already had the procedure done at-cost can apply for reimbursement), and the Dearborn automaker will begin notifying Five Hundred and Montego owners beginning August 15. Check out the official NHTSA press release after the jump for further details.

Ford recalling 433k cars for engines that don't shut off

Thu, Jul 2 2015

Ford Motor Company has announced an enormous recall affecting 433,000 vehicles built between April 2014 and June 2015. There's a problem with the body control module in the affected vehicles that can prevent them from turning off, even if the key is removed from the ignition or stop/start button has been pressed. Individual models include the Focus and C-Max, both built at the Michigan Assembly Plant. The defective Foci were built between June 17, 2014 and June 12, 2015, while the C-Maxes were built between April 22, 2014 and June 12, 2015. Also affected are model year 2015 Escape CUVs, built at the Louisville Assembly Plant in Kentucky, between April 1, 2014 and June 12, 2015. As is usually the case, the overwhelming majority of vehicles – 374,381 – are registered in the United States, while the 52,180 are in Canada and 5,135 are in Mexico. The Blue Oval is not aware of any injuries or accidents due to this defect. Individual consumers, meanwhile, will need to report into dealers to have the body control module's software updated.

2024 Porsche Panamera; Rivian's surprise; Cadillac electrifies V | Autoblog Podcast #823

Fri, Mar 15 2024

In this episode of the Autoblog Podcast, Editor-in-Chief Greg Migliore is joined by Associate Editor Byron Hurd. They start off discussing a couple of vehicles they've both driven — the 2024 Ford Maverick Tremor and the 2024 Volvo C40 Recharge 2WD. From there, they pivot to Byron's first drive of the 2024 Porsche Panamera, and then from there it's on to more electrified luxury in the form of the new Cadillac Lyriq. After that, it's on to news. Rivian made a big splash last week. Not to be upstaged, Cadillac decided to get in on the action by teasing an electric V model, the Opulent Velocity Concept. After that, it's time for a future classic; this week, it's the Dodge Magnum. They end the episode by spending listener Isaiah's money on some used stick-shift transportation.  Send us your questions for the Mailbag and Spend My Money at: Podcast@Autoblog.com.
