Staunton, Illinois, United States
|
Be the only 1960 Ford Starliner at your next car show or car cruise! Set your self apart from Tri-Five, Camaro and Mustang crowd. Everyone seems to have one of those cars but you will be the only one with this rare beautiful find! Here is you chance to own one of the very best rare and original unrestored 1960 Ford Starliners out there! I am the second titled owner of this rare barn find vehicle! I promise that there are not many rust-free 1960 Ford Starliners left. This car is still wearing its original Ford paint, trim, interior and running gear. Anyone who knows anything about 1960 Fords knows that it is next to impossible to find one in a rust-free, unmolested condition with all the hard-to-find parts still intact. This car could be kept in original condition (which is what I did since they are original once), or it would make for an easier unbelievable restoration. Money ahead if you started a restoration with this vehicle. You will be hard pressed to find another original Starliner with 49,000 actual miles on the odometer. The overall condition of this rare find is excellent! The body is straight and rust-free. No patch panels or replacement parts will be found on it or needed. The trunk is solid/rust-free and still has all the original mats and cardboard. The trim(stainless) is in above average shape and is all there. As with any car that is dripping with chrome or stainless there are some dings and dents (see pictures). The paint is the original Corinthian White from the factory. There are still the "red checks" from the factory where it passed inspection. It does show some scratches and rock chips which is to be expected from a car that is 54 years old! Motor and transmission are in excellent running shape. Fly in and driver her home if you like. The engine compartment and trunk were detailed to prevent any type of corrosion. There was one spot on the driver side rear quarter panel that was blended due to a cat spraying it occasionally (this happened before I owned the car). No pets or children have been near it since. This Starliner is equipped with FE 352 2BBL and the Cruis-O-Matic 3speed automatic transmission. This car still runs and drives like it did back in 1960! The motor has been tuned up (runs like a sewing machine) and the exhaust has been replaced and upgraded to original-like dual exhaust. Manual brakes and power steering have been gone through and are in perfect operating condition. White wall tires are brand new and have less than 1,000 miles on them. Like the rest of the car the glass and interior is original and in amazing shape. This car came with the black appointed interior. Door panels and kick panels are original to the car and are like new(see pics). No rips, scratches or tears. Only the padded dash has one crack next to the center speaker grill. Headliner is original with no rips. Most people at car shows are amazed at the condition of the interior! Even the clock will run(well...most of the time). Glass is clear with no cracks or blistering. All the original Ford stamps are where they should be! This 1960 Ford Starliner comes with the original window sticker! It was built in Chicago, IL and later sold at a dealership in Carthage, IL. I picked up this barn find over 5 years ago in South Central Illinois looking for parts for my other restoration project. The car had been in a farmers garage covered in blankets since 1985. I purchased this vehicle, had everything mechanical checked out (including fuel system) and off I went. Drawing crowds at every event or stop light. Options on the vehicle are as follows: 352 2bbl, 3spd Cruise-O-Matic A/T, Power Steering, AM Radio, Clock, Magic-Aire Heater, Back-up lights, Rear Bumper Reflectors and Full Wheel Covers. I do have other options available from 1960 if you are interested in but not included in this sale. This sale is for PICK-UP ONLY! Buyer is responsible for $1,000 deposit no later that 48hrs after auctions ends. Balance to be paid in full at time of pick-up. Cash or certified bank check. If payment by check I will not release title until the check clears. If you have any other questions, please call 618 -580-3385 |

Junkyard Gem: 1971 Mercury Comet 2-Door Sedan
Sat, Sep 10 2022When Ford introduced the original Maverick for the 1970 model year, Dearborn tradition required that a Mercury-badged version be created. That car ended up being the Comet, built from the 1971 through 1977 model years. Here's one of those first-year Comets in rough but recognizable condition, found in a Denver self-service yard not long ago. The Comet name had spent the 1960s affixed to the flanks of Mercurized Ford Falcons (1960-1965) and Fairlanes (1966-1969). Since the Maverick was the successor of the Falcon — sales of which went into an irrecoverable downward spiral once its sportier Mustang first cousin hit the streets — it made sense to move the Comet name over to the Mercury version. Nearly every American Mercury model ever sold was a U.S.-market Ford model with a different name and some gingerbread slapped on. Notable exceptions to this tradition include the 1999-2002 Mercury Cougar (mechanically based on the Contour but with a unique body) and the 1991-1994 Mercury Capri (an Australian-built mashup of Mazda components borrowed from the Ford Laser). The Comet was by far the cheapest Mercury model available in 1971, though it was considered more prestigious than its Maverick counterpart. The price tag on the '71 Comet two-door sedan started at $2,217 (about $16,505 in 2022 dollars), while the '71 Maverick two-door sedan cost $2,175 ($16,193 today). Meanwhile, AMC would sell you a new Hornet two-door sedan for one dollar less than a Maverick, Chevrolet had the Nova coupe for a dollar more than the Maverick, and Plymouth offered the Valiant Duster for $2,313 ($17,220 now). Toyota had a Maverick competitor as well that year, with the Corona at $2,150 for the sedan and $2,310 for the coupe. Having driven every one of the aforementioned models, I'd take the Duster if I went back in time and had to choose one (as a 1969 Corona owner, I'm not a fan of the 1971 facelift, though the Corona's build quality beats the Duster's). The build sticker on this car tells us that it was built at the Kansas City Assembly Plant (where Transits and F-150s are made today) and sold through the Los Angeles district sales office (there was a DSO in Denver, so it's a near-certainty that this car didn't start out in Colorado). The paint started out as Bright Blue Metallic (it's neither bright nor metallic 51 years down the road) and the interior was done up in Medium Blue Cloth & Vinyl.
Ford, Renault have surprises in store for Le Mans
Tue, Jun 9 2015All those prototype and GT racers won't be the only attraction catching our eye at the 24 Hours of Le Mans this weekend. Two major automakers have also confirmed that they've got new metal to unveil. And while they're not saying exactly what they'll be, we've got some pretty good ideas. First up is Ford, which has announced a "major Ford Performance news announcement" on Friday. Chairman Bill Ford, CEO Mark Fields, and product development chief Raj Nair will be on hand for the announcement set to take place on Friday at 10:00 AM Eastern. The Blue Oval isn't saying just what it has in store, but the widespread speculation has been that it will present a racing version of the new Ford GT at Le Mans a good half century since the original GT40 raced there. Meanwhile, Renault has announced that it is marking the 60th anniversary of the Alpine marque at Le Mans this Saturday. The French automaker has been working on reviving the dormant marque, and looks poised to finally reveal its new sports car at its iconic home endurance race this weekend. Tipped to be called the Alpine AS1, the new sports car will bring the marque back out of retirement in a more real way than the ELMS-winning LMP2 prototype ever could. Expect it to be based on the mid-engined chassis underpinning the Renault RS 01 spec racer, but built for the road.
