Does anyone want a 1960 2 door Starliner?

There's one in my neighborhood I saw on CL. Who knows what he'll really take for it.

I learned to drive in a 60 Ford but always regretted it wasn’t a Starliner. It and the 61 have always been really cool cars. But they are really big and there’s a lot of metal surface on one of those to body work and paint. A friend recently had a 63 427 Galaxie painted and every time he would go to the shop to check on it, the shop owner would just shake his head and remark, “there’s a lot of metal surface here to deal with”. Makes me tired thinking about one as a project.
 
Also one of my fav Ford bodies of all time. Hope it finds a good home.
 
Worked at a shop and a customer always brought in a 1961 starliner. Very nicely maintained car. It was a pleasure to work on it.
 
To me the 1961 has better styling, roofline is great.

When I was in Jr high school my sister a HS'er was driving us to school. It was raining but it was freezing the road, did realize it until half mile from home. This a--hole in a hurry driving a 62 Starliner pulled out of a line of cars into our lane. Hit almost perfectly head on had my legs locked and came within a couple inches of the windshield, We were only doing 15 mph but that Starliner folded up like a tin can. Hood and front left kinked 6" high busted 3 of the headlights. The 60 Olds Super 88 with no seat belts had the front bumper bent up couple of inches. We got a call from a woman we knew and asked how we were and said she saw it from her front porch. Not 10 minutes later we get a call from the Ford driver saying my sister hit him. My father laughed and told we had a witness that said other wise. That experience made me a believer in seat belts.

Yes that 2 door wagon was rare when made, and much more so now. I love the way they did the rear window. It would look great next to my 60 Plymouth. If only I had more room and time....

60's are cool, not too many around

the 61 Jimmy Shines from the 1980 movie Hollywood Knights
I assume his wife's car, she came to pick him up in
before he was being shipped out to Viet Nam

very cool car

You would be better off to buy the $50,000 car. That's what it would cost in parts to restore that $3,000 car.
