Hot Rods 60 61 starliner picture thread

I just ran across a 60 Edsel Ranger
its roached with a rotted roof but has a cool look and at scrap price might be fun to cut up
into something like this

 

Been trying to buy one that's been sitting outside at a farm near me for years. It's got bad floors, & still not for sale.

 

Don't give up!!!!!....

 

cool vintage pic

 

In 1962 my Dad traded a red 2 door hard top 60 starliner in on a 57 corvette. No pics of the ford have been found, but i have the sales receipt for the trade! I love the 60 61's, 61 a bit more.

 

Had a 61 Ford Statliner. Also had a 65 and 67 GTO but the Starliner is the one car I wish I could have back. It was the 390, 300 hp version huge by today’s standards but oh what a car. Had it while a senior in high school and got it with all my savings plus a small loan from my parents which I paid back in one year. A lot of memories with the car, black with red interior bought it with only 1650 miles on odometer.

Sits just right, and I'm beginning to really like white.

 

In '61 dad was shopping for a second car. Us four kids were lobbying hard for a Chesapeake Blue Starliner. Nope, not safe with that big back window. Ever the practical man, he chose a black (for mom) four door Galaxie, 292, Fordomatic. Still think the Starliners are good looking car.

 

Found this magazine last week, describes it as a big hairy 352.
Car weighed 4,161 pounds
4.89:1 with overdrive @ 3.49
Ran 152.2 mph on the oval
15.3 on the strip.

 

May Cause Dangerous


One of the best customs ever, IMHO.

 

It's actually a pale blue but this car is so right on.

 

I was hoping to see some custom wagons. Always liked them, but hardly ever see them.

Wow shortypu ,that 61 is incredible. Love the color. I really love them without the washboards too .I have nos ones available and am not planning on using them on my final assembly on mine this winter.

 

That's a local car with a big Kaase motor.This blue one is also local.

 

Yeah, they seem to be few and far between.

 

I didn't know that there were Starliner Station Wagons...

 

Ford wasn't the only good looking Starliner https://c1.staticflickr.com/5/4062/4719216306_a4789e45c7.jpg

 

I have heard there is a 61 lurking around my area with a Cammer in it . I have not seen it to date , but a few Buds have told me about it . If I run across it I’ll be sure to get some photos . They are the red head stepchild of Ford big bodies .

Here is one I had in 1972. It was a pile, it had 3/4" of bondo in the left rear quarter and the 352 was't getting oil to the rockers. But I only paid $35.00 for it and 3 years later sold it for $250.00.

 

^^^ one of my favorites in this thread so far!

 

This car is screaming for a cammer......
