1960 FORD GALAXIE STARLINER CUSTOM COUPE

Details

Professionally finished to very high standards, this unique Galaxie claimed First Place Class at the 2010 Grand National Roadster Show, an Award of Excellence at the Goodguys Del Mar Nationals and scored a Top Ten at the SEMA Show 'N Shine on its way to being featured on the cover of Street Rodder Magazine. The car’s build began when its hardtop body was fully blasted, fitted with fresh rockers and welded to custom floors. That solid profile is host to excellent customization, including a

reimagined grille, shaved handles, a nosed hood, modified trim and narrowed, tucked and smoothed bumpers. Custom Raspberry Pearl 2-stage paint is complemented by a custom leather interior, which centers custom seating on a custom console inspired by an Alpine touchscreen audio. A custom dash hangs Vintage Air conditioning next to Auto Meter telemetry. In front of the driver, a Recaro steering wheel is mounted on a tilting Flaming River column. Lower the power-operated windows and you’ll get a sense of the custom, RideTech-equipped suspension’s lowered height: a stance aided by power rack & pinion steering, Wilwood disc brakes and 18” EVOD wheels. Inside the custom engine bay resides a Roush Performance 427SR crate engine generating 460rwhp. On top of that engine, a 770cfm Holley carburetor feeds an Edelbrock Performer RPM intake, which, in turn, feeds CNC-ported heads. At the back of the engine, a Gearstar-built C6 automatic transmission, equipped with a Gear Vendor overdrive, spins a Currie 9” axle that’s finished with a posi-traction differential and 3.73 gears. Included with this one-of-a-kind Ford is a build book, build receipts, Roush Performance dyno results, a Roush Performance fender tag, a copy of the car’s Street Rodder feature and all the car’s awards.
