Ford Starliner 460 V8 1960

General description : MULTIPLE SHOW WINNER & MAGAZINE FEATURE CAR, 460 V8, TUBULAR CHASSIS, AUTO, WOW!

We might only let you buy this 1960 Ford Starliner if you can prove to us that you have room in your trophy case. And after you look beyond the award-winning paint that consumes every inch (including the undercarriage) you'll recognize all the great custom upgrades like the interior, high-performance 460 big block V8, and bespoke chassis.
We won't even pretend like there is another paintjob like this out there. You're looking at truly rolling artistry as DuPont's Copper Cranberry was used to grab your attention and Yellow Pearl will never letting you go. These two are beautifully coordinated to accentuate the bubble top silhouette of the rare Starliner hardtop. And there is much more color here than just these to glossy modern paints. The two-tones are separated by a custom black and silver air brushed graphic – yes that right – a two-tone separating a two-tone! And if that didn't set your heart on fire, the custom flames on the hood will. And because a fortune was invested in all this glossy paint, there's no way chrome could outshine it. That's why places for tradition brightwork, like the bumpers, headlight surrounds, and grille are all painted to match the car. It gives this coupe a very modern and sporty flavor. That spirit is continued on custom details like the lowered suspension, molded drip rails, shaved door handles, hood scoop, and Billet alloys that are staggered 18/20 inches front/rear for added aggression. If you think this total package could win a ton of awards, you'd be exactly right. There are just too many honors to go over here, but give us a call, so we can let you in on how this one has already crossed the country sweeping up first-place trophies along the way.
This might have started out life as a full-sized family coupe, but today there is only room for two. The rest of the space is filled with custom-crafted components. It starts with the black and maroon bucket seats. These coordinate with the door panels, carpeting, and center console to create a full uniform package. Plus, the interior and exterior are seamlessly combined as the doorjambs color flow right onto the dash. Even the dual spoke steering wheel follows this custom color scheme, so you know another small fortune was spent here... and we haven't even listed all the components! For example, the Hurst shifter and the glow of the full Dakota Digital gauge package will instantly get your enthusiast heart pumping. And if you need any extra thumping, the full Pioneer AM/FM/CD stereo can get it done. That's because you have a JBL speaker system that has been custom installed behind the front seats. And thanks to power windows, it's even easier to share your favorite tunes and the Starliner's pillarless hardtop profile with the world.
And while you've already been impressed with this full package, this one reminds you there are still more surprises as its custom-built hood slides forward to reveal the monster motor. That's a 460 cubic-inch Ford big block V8, and it looks terrific with the valve covers, radiator shroud, and the whole engine bay painted to perfectly match the car. Plus, this V8 has all the right components for reliable performance, including a Holley 850 CFM four-barrel carburetor, Edelbrock intake, and an aluminum radiator w/electric fan. And you might want to think for a moment why you can see those ceramic-coated headers better than any other classic Galaxie/Starliner before it. Have you picked up on the full Moly tubular chassis yet? So while you're admiring the beautiful paint in the undercarriage photos, don't forget to also check out the full length of this cool and very expensive custom chassis. And while you're under there, you'll spot other great upgrades like the custom front suspension, Star Wars rear, and adjustable coilovers. There are only 14 recorded miles on this build since completion, you can easily add more to the odometer with easy driving features like the three-speed automatic transmission and four-wheel disc brakes.
There are just too many custom pieces and awards to list here. But give us a call today, and we'll happily share all the details of the most amazing build you can get your hands on right now. Call today!!!

About Ford
Ford, founded in 1902, has arguably changed the history of automotive world more than any other car manufacturer by introducing the first people's car Model T in 1908. They had produced more than 15 million cars by the end of the production in 1927, by which T had become obsolete.

Ford launched the first low priced V8 engine powered car in 1932. 1932 V8 was an instant hit with superior handling and performance to many far more expansive cars of the day. No wonder 32 V8 Ford has become such a favourite among hot rodders around the world with 32 Deuce coupe as their icon.

During the war Ford completely shut down civilian vehicle production to dedicate all its resources to the Allied war efforts (1942-45) They used to build B-24 bombers, aircraft engines, jeeps, M-4 tanks, military trucks and Bren-gun carriers and more than 30,000 super-charged Rolls Royce Merlin V-12 engines for Mosquito and Lancaster bombers as well as P-51 Mustang fighters. After the war Ford cars in the USA got bigger and flashier along with their competitors. In the 60's Ford was back in the forefront again when introducing their commercial hit Mustang in 1964. Mustang was so popular the competition had to follow Ford's example and the ponycar phenomenon took over the US. Over the years the ponies grew some muscles until the oil crisis kill finally killed them off.

In the sixties Ford rushed into international motor sports scene with a fury. After unsuccessful Ferrari takeover, when Enzo Ferrari had cut the deal off with Henry Ford II making the latter absolutely boil with fury, Ford turned to Lola in UK to produce a Ferrari beating long distance racer after. The collaboration between Ford and Lola created the mighty Ford GT40 that absolutely beat Ferrari in Le Mans 24 numerous times.

In Europe, Ford introduced some of the most epic race and rally cars of the 60's based on humble family sedans; Cortina GT, Lotus Cortina, Escort Twin Cam, and Escort 1600RS with the iconic Cosworth BDA engines.

Today classic Fords are extremely popular with enthusiasts and a great selection of classic Fords can be found for sale at www.ClassicDigest.com
