CONTACT JEFF AT 570 977 0741. Up for sale and your consideration is a rare 1960 Ford Galaxie Special Starliner two door hardtop with 59,840 original miles that appears to still have it's original paint. This is a barn find survivor that was formerly a mild custom show car. It has been off the road for some time, but still runs, drives, shifts and stops. To be road worthy I would suggest the buyer check and service the mechnical components. A decision was made to leave the car pretty much as found, as some collectors choose to leave a survivor car alone with the exception of bringing the mechnical components up to par. A real car person is well aware of the rarity, desirability and value of the Ford Starliner which was only produced in 1960 and 1961. My honest summary of this vehicle is based on physical inspection. BODY: Since this car did not spend it's life in Arizona, it does have some typical rust issues that will need to be addressed if the buyer chooses to bring the car to the next level. Front floors, trunk floor and some areas along the stainless trim, lower front fenders, doors, lower quarters behind washboards, and hood. Frame appears to be solid front to rear. As it is nearly impossible to explain every flaw in the body condition in a text, an in person inspection by appointment is welcomed and encouraged to answer any questions that a prospective buyer would have. There are no cracks in the glass, but rear side windows have some milking at the lower rear. Bumpers retain most of their original shine. A custom tube grille was installed which eliminates the center headlights as part of the mild custom theme. Rear bumper is equipped with accessory reflectors that mimick the tail lights. There are no missing emblems or trim. Stainless skirts, lake pipes, and dummy spotlights continue the mild custom period correct theme. Data plate indicates this is an original Raven black (code A) car. DRIVELINE: The car appears to have all of it's original driveline components including the original 352 engine (code X) cruise-o-matic transmission (code 4) and 2:91 to 1 ratio rear differential (code 8). Engine runs smooth with the exception of an exhaust leak at rear of right side exhaust manifold. Engine runs quiet with no lifter, no bearing noise, and no smoke. Exhasut exits through duals with glass packs. The engine is topped with a rare and desirable tri-power setup with three working carburetors. Vintage of the tri-power is unknown, but increases the value of the car considerably. Power steering provides ease of driving. Transmission shifts fine but does make an occasional whining noise while in park (possible linkage adjustment). Brakes are a but spongy but they do work. A new master cylinder was installed. INTERIOR: When the car was customized some time ago, the interior was completely redone in grey naugahyde roll and pleat. Headliner, spare tire cover, and snap on inner trunk lid cover are the same material. All lights and turn signals work fine with the exception of the back up lights. Vacuum wipers work with the typical slow movement. Heater works. Gas gauge and temperature gauges work. Horn and radio do not work. Inside window mouldings were chrome plated some time ago. Dash is pinstriped. Custom dash knobs were installed. Interior shows some age. new black carpeting was installed in the interior and trunk at some point.
