I've decided that $32K is a fair asking price. Seems that the car is valued at $40K if in pristine condition. This one is near that but has a few minor issues that could be addressed to make it a 100 point car. This one is a very nice driver with a recent frame-off restoration. Original Ford...

My good friend and Starliner/Sunliner aficionado died recently. He had restored a '61 Sunliner frame off. It is all new with 352 CID, C6 and all the rest. Trying to sell it for his widow. Any ideas where to start price wise? Original Ford yellow with black interior and white top. Drive any where.

Slick and easy solution to an age-old problem. Thanks for the tip.

I don't know what is meant by "Between the seats". They go on sides of the front seat. The one pictured is for the right side.

Borgeson is an excellent choice. However it is not an easy installation. You will have to shorten the steering column to allow for the taller steering box. This also involves making provision to stabilize the lower end of the column because the column support schema is different on these GM...

Got it all but the left and right door lock cylinder levers with the little springs that attach them to the lock. Will gladly buy the lock and all. The Title is '57 Ranchero, but all '57 thru '59 Ford will fit.

The problem is that the seals are getting old and hard. Pust some Trans-Lube friction modifier in and drive for long enough to soak at operating temperature for at least 10 minutes. This will most likely give you a few more years of service. If you want to change the fluid, the Havoline Global...

Btt

Need left and right door glass lift channels and left and right door lock cylinder lever with the little springs that attach them to the lock. These levers are what goes between the key lock and the lock mechanism. Also need the trim for the headliner that screws into the tack strip at the rear...

Put some Marvel Mystery Oil in it; should give the oil a red tint. If you put 5 qts in without changing the filter, it may be a qt too much. Yes, the '70 302 in a Mustang dip stick is on the front and there is an after market chrome dipstick and tube available.

Part Number: 510-12-803 The Holley is a good recommendation; and be sure to back it down to about 3 1/2 psi. The most important thing I can tell you is to be sure and use Sta-Bil Marine Ethanol treatment to protect the pump, regulator, guage, metal fuel lines, and the carburetor. I had all...

Early in the '58 model run, Ford ran out of Tele-touch parts for a brief time. To continue production, they used Mercury columns and steering wheels in Edsels and changed the logo in the center of the steering wheel. There were only about 200 of these produced that way; so I have been told by...

If by "fun" you mean performance, and you are going to stick with the older model transmission, you better get about 5 spare transmissions. Those old trannies were notoriously weak and will break at the thought of a speed shift. By the way, the old Ford-O-Matics will out run the manual shift...

Had a problem like that with an FE engine. Drove me crazy for 2 years. Changed FP and went through the electronics over and over. Finally the fuel line from the hard line to the fuel pump began leaking. The problem was that the line had a very small leak and did not leak gas but allowed the FP...

Pail hit on a very common problem with those old carbs. Symptoms are exactly as you are experiencing. A rebuild is in your future or better yet, a new reproduction carb is available from many sources. Those old carbs are near impossible to make and KEEP right; always leaking. There are people...
