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

FBI investigating recently fired Ford engineer for espionage

Fri, 25 Jul 2014

Agents of the FBI are investigating a potential case of industrial espionage involving a recently fired Ford employee. The Dearborn, MI-based manufacturer had its world headquarters searched by FBI agents on July 11, and according to The Detroit News, had warrants to seize recording devices handed over to Ford by Sharon Leach, a now-former Ford engineer.
Leach, who had spent 17 years with the Blue Oval, was fired last month, after Ford Security relieved her of eight Sansa listening devices. The FBI got involved shortly after her dismissal, searching her home on June 20 and seizing some two dozen items, including computers, jump drives and financial records, according to warrants obtained by The News.
Ford has remained quiet on the matter, with spokeswoman Susan Krusel confirming that the automaker was working with the FBI as part of a "joint investigation," while declining to provide any additional details.
