This 1961 Ford Starliner is a once-in-a-lifetime restomod-a
no-expense-spared show car that combines classic Americana with
modern performance and precision. When Ford introduced the
Starliner in 1960, it was a halo model for the Galaxie line: a
sleek, hardtop fastback designed to turn heads with its
revolutionary "aerodynamic" styling and clean, sweeping roofline.
Rare in any condition today, this Starliner has been transformed
into a jaw-dropping machine that honors its heritage while
delivering 21st-century performance.
The exterior, finished in a flawless deep black by Wid Wes
Paintworks, is nothing short of museum-quality. Every body panel is
straight and pristine, reflecting a dedication to perfection.
Complementing the aggressive exterior is a fully custom Bux Customs
red interior, with a clean, shaved firewall, first-shifter-mounted
controls, and new, modern gauges that blend seamlessly into the
classic dash layout. Jon Wright's custom chrome details elevate the
elegance even further, while the entire engine bay showcases a
beautifully tucked aluminum radiator, creating a streamlined,
show-ready look that matches the car's stunning exterior.
Beneath the surface, this Starliner rides on a modified original
frame with tubular control arms and hand-built 4-wheel Wilwood
brakes, delivering handling and stopping power far beyond anything
this car ever had in 1961. Powering the Starliner is a dyno-tested
427ci Ford Side Oiler, producing 600 horsepower and 635 ft-lbs of
torque, outfitted with Borla 8 Stack EFI, Edelbrock heads, forged
internals, a roller cam, and a March pulley system. Paired with a
Tremec TKO 600 5-speed transmission, this drivetrain offers
blistering performance while remaining perfectly controllable,
whether on the trailer to shows or on a private track.
The car sits on staggered Schott Custom SS wheels-18x8 front, 20x12
rear-giving it an aggressive stance that perfectly complements its
aerodynamic lines. Completed just a few years ago, this Starliner
has never seen the street, preserving its flawless, trailer-only
condition. Every detail-from the Bux interior and Jon Wright chrome
to the Wid Wes paint and meticulous engine bay work-reflects the
level of craftsmanship expected from a $350,000 build.
This is more than a car-it's a rolling work of art, a piece of Ford
history, and a modern-day powerhouse. Original Starliners were
prized for their forward-looking styling and rarity; today, this
restomod elevates that legacy to an entirely new level, combining
heritage, craftsmanship, and performance into a single,
jaw-dropping package.
