Up For Auction a 1961 Ford
Starliner. If you have been looking for a timeless classis to enjoy and tinker
with then you have found it.
History: I bought this car
out of
Body; the body was in decent
condition when I bought it but it was painted orange and not it's original
Interior; The interior was in
nice condition when I bought the car . The seats were already redone in black
vinyl. The door panels are new and look great. I replaced the carpet and
package tray. I removed the dash and had it repainted. I also replaced the dash
and engine harness's where it had been spliced in the past. THe gauges work and
there is an additional oil and temp gauge installed under the dash. Heater core was replaced. and I also
installed a NOS wiper motor and wiper switch .
Drive train: I was told the
motor is a 390 but I cant verify that so assume it's a 352. The trans is the
original Cruise-matic and the rear is the original 9". The wheels are newly painted
15" steel wheels with new BF Goodrich 234-70-15 tires. The motor has run fine for me and the trans
shifts fine but my intension was to replace the engine with a 427 so I didnt really do anything with the drivetrain. Overview : This is an awesome
car and a super platform to drive or build a
wonderful classic. Currently my focus
has changed so I have decided to sell the car. I have more than the asking
price in the car so my loss will be your gain. The paint and body work alone
were over 10K. I would love to see someone finish the car the way it deserves
to be done or drive and tinker with it as you go. If you want I will change the wheels to the chrome set or if you hit the buy it now I'll give you both sets . Tires are new on both sets. Feel free to call if you have

China takes lead as GM's No. 1 market
Tue, 09 Jul 2013It's happened. General Motors' biggest vehicle market - at least in terms of new model sales - is China. According to TheDetroitBureau.com, GM and its various Chinese joint venture operations enjoyed a 10.6-percent sales increase in the first half of 2013, selling almost 1.6 million units in the market. That puts GM China about 200,000 units ahead of its US sales totals over the same period - this, despite indicators that the communist nation's economy is losing momentum.
TDB notes that like GM, rival Ford has also enjoyed a robust 2013 in China thus far, with its sales up a whopping 47 percent to 407,721 units sold - 75,254 of them in June alone. Between the two US automakers, passenger car sales for the first half of 2013 are up around 14 percent, well ahead of the rest of the industry's 10-percent growth estimates for the market. Some of the sales growth may come as a result of an overall anti-Japan sentiment in China, though the American brands have long outsold their Japanese counterparts in the country.
By The General's own predictions, China will only continue to grow in sales importance. The company has designs on selling over five million cars a year in the market before the end of the decade, a total that figures to dramatically widen the gap versus its US totals - even if America's auto market makes a full recovery to the the salad days of over 17-million units a year.
2015 Ford Mustang GT Line-Lock Burnout
Mon, 03 Nov 2014In this brief Short Cut, Autoblog's Steven Ewing demonstrates Line-Lock on the 2015 Ford Mustang GT. Accessed through an on-screen performance menu, the feature temporarily locks the front brakes to help you heat up the rear tires for better traction, as you would for drag racing. The result? A 15-second smokescreen.
1964 Ford GT40 prototype to be auctioned in April
Wed, 12 Mar 2014The Ford GT40 owns a firm spot on the list of the greatest American racecars ever made, being the first car from the United States to take an overall win in the 24 Hours of Le Mans. And now Mecum will auction what it claims is second-oldest GT40 still in existence at its Houston sale on April 12.
The story of the GT40 is fascinating. Henry Ford II attempted to buy Ferrari in the early '60s, but Enzo refused. Ford decided if he couldn't have them, then he would beat the Prancing Horse on the track. Ford went to Carroll Shelby and asked him to spearhead the program. The early cars combined a steel monocoque chassis with Ford's 4.2-liter V8 engine pumping out around 350 horsepower. The first prototype made its public debuted on April 1, 1964, at the New York Auto Show.
Shelby kept building prototypes, including GT/104, which is for sale here. This version featured a lighter steel chassis and was raced at Le Mans in 1964. However, a fire forced it to retire. It was then repainted and had a 4.7-liter (289-cubic-inch) engine fitted. The chassis had its best finish at the 1965 Daytona Continental 2,000 Kilometers where it finished third with Bob Bondurant and Ritchie Ginther behind the wheel. Later that season, it was shipped back to Ford where it was restored and displayed at auto shows until 1971 when the automaker sold it. Since then, it has had many private owners.
