1960 Ford Galaxie Starliner Burgundy Hardtop 427 V8 3 Speed Automatic

Description

Featured in the August, 2011 edition of Street Rodder Magazine, this national award-winning Galaxie wraps a brutal ROUSH Performance 427 in a modern, Ridetech-equipped suspension, custom-finished steel and supple leather hides. Officially baptized in to the Kustom world by Hot Rods & Custom Stuff of Escondido, California, this super slick Starliner has been carefully finessed and expertly finished to the absolute highest standards. The smooth surfaces that make up the car's sleek profile are entirely comprised of clean sheetmetal that... was fully blasted, fitted with fresh rockers, mated to a new trunk pan and laboriously block-sanded. That solid shell shines in a killer coat of custom Raspberry Pearl 2-stage that's been lovingly buffed to a trophy-winning glare. And today, this Ford rolls as one excellent-looking custom that's completely devoid of filler, questionable seams, strange bulges or anything else that might demerit its otherwise superior construction. Under the car's hood, a ROUSH Performance 427SR twists big horsepower into rocket-like torque. That mill rides a Mustang II suspension, which employs Bilstein shocks, Ridetech air bags and power rack-and-pinion steering. Behind that front clip, a Gearstar-built C6 jerks a Gear Vendor overdrive unit, which rides atop a third electric cooling fan. Behind that driveline, a tough Currie 9-inch spins 31-spline axles, a posi-trac differential and big, 3.73 gears between two more Ridetech air bags. At the corners of those bags, polished Wilwood calipers clamp four drilled and slotted rotors. And on the outside of those discs, Starliner-branded EVODs spin 245/40ZR18 Nitto NT555 Extreme ZRs in front of 295/45ZR18 Nitto NT555 Extreme ZRs. No doubt about it, this exceptional Starliner is one of the coolest cruisers in the Galaxy! Call, click or visit for more information.
