1960 Ford Starliner 2 Door Hardtop, Bubbletop, Galaxie, Rat Rod, Hot Rod on 2040-cars

Year:1960 Mileage:104000
Location:

Raleigh, North Carolina, United States

Raleigh, North Carolina, United States

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 !!!

2015 Ford Focus ST zooming toward Goodwood reveal [w/video]

Mon, 23 Jun 2014

Ford has quite a party ready for the Goodwood Festival of Speed starting on June 27. Not only is the 2015 Mustang going to be driving in front of the European public for the first time, the Blue Oval is also unveiling its 2015 refresh for the Focus ST.
Official details about the latest Focus hot hatch are practically nonexistent at this point. Ford's teaser image shows narrower headlights, and the company says that the ST also benefits from the technical and quality improvements from the refreshed standard model, which likely means an even more Aston-Martin-like grille. However, any improvements for the power or handling are a mystery for now.
Ford will even give visitors to the festival the chance to drive the new ST - at least virtually. Gran Turismo 6 kiosks will be on hand with the hot hatch loaded up to race the Goodwood Hill Climb. There will also be real-time races between former Stig Ben Collins in the real ST challenging a player up the hill in the game.

2015 Ford Mustang GT road test ride-along

Wed, 24 Sep 2014

You've no doubt already pored over our first drive of the 2015 Ford Mustang, where author Jonathon Ramsey proclaimed that "this new car shames the old, redefines the model and gallops far ahead of anything else in the segment." And following Ramsey's first stint behind the wheel of Ford's new coupe, we sent him back out with another 'Stang to capture some of these same impressions over a backdrop of the car moving quickly along gorgeous California canyon roads.
But this also gave our author and editors time to read through the hundreds of comments left on that original Mustang review. You readers are indeed a vocal bunch, and one particular comment about how the automotive media is so willing to bash an outgoing car as soon as the new one arrives really caught our attention. In this video, Ramsey stands by his written text, saying the new Mustang is "massively better than the one it replaces," and in doing so, addresses your comments while providing more insight into just how good the Ford truly is.
We won't spoil the rest for you. Check out the feature video above, and as always, leave us your thoughts in the Comments section below.
