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 !!!

24 Hours of Le Mans live update part two

Sun, Jun 19 2016

We tasked surfing journalist Rory Parker to watch this year's live stream of the 2016 24 Hours of Le Mans. What follows is an experiment to experience the world's greatest endurance race from the perspective of a motorsports novice. Parker lives in Hawaii and can hold his breath longer than he can go without swearing. For Part One, click here. Or you can skip ahead to Part Three here. I write about surfing for a living. If you can call it a living. Basically means I spend my days fucking around and my wife pays for everything. Because she's got a real job that pays well. Brings home the bacon. Very progressive arrangement. Super twenty first century. I run a surf website, beachgrit.com, with two other guys. It's a strange gig. More or less uncensored. Kind of popular. Very good at alienating advertisers. My behavior has cost us a few bucks. I'm terrible at self-censorship. Know there's a line out there, no idea where it lies. I still don't understand any of the technical side. Might as well be astrophysics or something. For contests I do long rambling write ups. They rarely make much sense. Mainly just talk about my life, whatever random thoughts pop into my head. "Can you do something similar for Le Mans?" "Sure, but I know absolutely fuck-all about racing." "That's okay. Just write what you want." "Will do. But you're gonna need to edit my stuff. Probably censor it heavily." So here I am. I spent the last week trying to learn all I can about the sport of endurance racing. But there's only so much you can jam in your head. And I still don't understand any of the technical side. Might as well be astrophysics or something. While I rambled things were happening. Tracy Krohn spun into the gravel on the Forza chicane. #89 is out of the race after an accident I missed. Pegasus racing hit the wall on the Porsche curves. Bashed up front end, in the garage getting fixed. Toyota and Porsche are swapping back and forth in the front three. Ford back in the lead in GTE Pro. #91 Porsche took a stone through the radiator, down two laps. Not good. The wife and I are one of those weird childless couples that spend way too much time caring for the needs of their pet. French bulldog, Mr Eugene Victor Debs. Great little guy. Spent the last four years training him to be obedient and friendly. Nice thing about dogs, when you're sick of dealing with them you can just lock 'em in another room for a few hours. You don't need to worry about paying for college.

Watch live as Mark Fields is officially named Ford's next CEO

Thu, 01 May 2014

We've heard rumblings of a changing of the guard at Ford, and this live stream from The Blue Oval itself is set to confirm the rumors: Alan Mulally will be succeeded by the automaker's current Chief Operating Officer, Mark Fields.
Mulally, who is 68 years old, has served at the head of Ford for eight years, and his official retirement date will be July 1st, 2014. Fields, who is 53 this year, has been with Ford for 25 years and has been groomed to take the helm from Mulally for the last several of those years.
There's an official press release that you can read, but if you're more of a visual person, you're welcome to watch the live video feed of the announcement down below.

Ford confirms 1.5-liter EcoBoost four-cylinder engine for 2014 Fusion

Thu, 11 Apr 2013

Earlier this week, reports were swirling 'round the internet about the 2014 Ford Fusion getting a new 1.5-liter three-cylinder EcoBoost engine. That was... half correct. Ford today confirmed that the 2014 Fusion is, in fact, getting a new 1.5-liter EcoBoost mill, but it has four cylinders, not three.
The new 1.5-liter engine will be the fifth EcoBoost powerplant from Ford Motor Company. Initially to be built at the automaker's Craiova, Romania plant, it will also be offered in the Fusion's twin, the Mondeo, in other markets. This engine will debut at the Shanghai Motor Show next month, and the 1.5-liter is of particular importance in the Chinese market - there is significant tax relief in the People's Republic for vehicles powered by engines with a capacity of 1.5 liters or less.
At a media briefing Thursday, Ford declined to divulge exact power or fuel economy numbers, though Joe Bakaj, vice president of powertrain engineering, told Autoblog that power output should be similar to that of the current 1.6-liter inline-four, and that overall efficiency will be "better than the 1.6." Our earlier report stated that the 1.5-liter four will produce 177 horsepower and 177 pound-feet of torque - losses of 1 hp and 7 lb-ft versus the 1.6-liter engine. Ford states that the 1.5-liter four will feature many of the same technologies used on the company's 1.0-liter EcoBoost inline-three, including an integrated exhaust manifold that recaptures much of the engine's heat.
