Wait a minute, I have been looking for a 61 Starliner longer, years in fact. That is the year I was born, just turned the big 50. I saw one a couple years ago on the side of the road when bringing my grand kids for a train ride. no one was around, by the time I got back to it, it was gone. Come to find out an old buddy of mine bought it for 6000.00. he is in the process of restoring it and won't part with it now. Bummer!

55 Vicky & customline

58 Rack Dump, 55 F350 yard truck, 57 F100

59 & 61 P 400's, 58 F100 custom cab, 69 F100, 79 F150, 82 F600 ramp truck, 90 mustang conv 7 up, 94 Mustang, Should I continue?

Will do...I'm also on the lookout for a solid '56 F-100 builder...

And, just for the record, while I don't have anything fat-fendered, I have the 40's covered by way of a '49 2-door sedan. Total project, but bought new in Santa Cruz, CA by a distant cousin...

I'm a glutten for punishment too!  You can't blame a guy for trying can you? And you do have great taste in cars/pickups.  All of the cars in your signature are high on my list.  But don't forget the 40's...like a 40 ford coupe or pickup, maybe a 46 woody. 

I am pretty serious about a '61 starliner though.  If in your travels looking for parts and such you run across another for sale please let me know!  Thanks,

HAHA...unfortunately, I am a glutton for punishment...All I need is something from the 30's and I'll have the high points covered through the Fomoco generations...

Tim,

Great videos.  Looks like you guys had a lot of fun.

Todd,

Nice runs in the pickup...but save yourself the time and money and just sell the starliner to me!

The reader's digest version is:

My great uncle Lloyd special-ordered the car in late '60 with the hottest engine/trans combo available, as was his typical approach. He never failed to mention how pissed he was about them starting to offer the 3x2 and 4-speed dealer options afer he took delivery. Sort of surprised it never had a 4-speed cut in. The car currently has a 361 Edsel (FE) in it but still has the long tube manifolds, etc..., and the original Hi-po engine is in his old ski boat which I'm still trying to nail down.

The old chrome revers wheels were in the trunk (REAL reversed wheels, with stems on the inside) and all (5) of the 15" Kelsey-Hayes steelies were in the house with the original hubcaps...Really an unmolested car with virtually no rust. Still remains registered after all these years with black CA plates, with matching veterans CA plate key chain.

The plan is a stock appearing '61 Starliner with more power with a hot FE...I'll keep you guys updated, and maybe we can just pretend it has a Y-block in it, like my F-100
