Owning a business that’s located at Sonoma Raceway in Northern California does have its benefits. Aside from having access to some of the greatest race cars ever created, being surrounded by speed is also a fantastic source of inspiration. Thus, it should come as no surprise that this 1960 Ford Galaxie Starliner is a product of its environment.

Most of my 30s I drove all manual, visceral classics and just turng 40 I still love

@Photobombin

This is badass. I love stuff like this and I totally get what he's saying about tough to drive. Most of my 30s I drove all manual, visceral classics and just turning 40 I still love to do it frequently, although however depending on how much I wear ear plugs just to protect my hearing and I still manhandle it through slow parking lots and I melt in the heat with no AC. It's a different lifestyle but I think

younger people should experience something like it at least once in their life. It'll really give you an appreciation for how far things have come and also a different perspective on the people that use to wheel that equipment professionally in their day. Also the "smell of exhaust" hahaha, my shirts have trapt that smell in them. It's something else folks, go out and enjoy a different time!

Love this article and the Starliner! A pal of mine had a '60 Starliner like this one when we were in high school, a looooonnng time ago. It had the stock 352 with a slip-o-matic transmission, and the car was pretty sluggish. We replaced the 352 with a 406 and three 2 barrels, about like this car has. We also put in a T-10 four speed and

rear gears and Hooker headers. That made the Starliner really come to life.

My friend installed a bubble hood and painted the car olive green with five spoke mags in front and chrome wheels on the rear. A few other goodies completed the package. We trounced more than a few unsuspecting challengers with the Starliner on the streets way back then. My friend and the Starliner are both gone now, but what fun we had and what great memories this video brought! Thank you guys!
