| Details: | 1961 Ford Galaxie Starliner Tribute RACE CAR My 5th Fireball Roberts race replica (tribute). The real one is still owned by the original owner/builder in MN. I sent him two disposable cameras and he took 2 rolls of pictures that I used to duplicate mine as close as possible. I did not have the means to afford a real FE 427/482 c.i./Fuel Injected motor (about $30-$35K) so I used a rebuilt FE 352/4v with an air-box over the carb to make it like Ernie did over his FI. Has a new clutch/Pressure Plate/Disc and bearing with a rebuilt T-10 4 speed (rare in 61s), gauges/Tach/Hurst shifter/Moon gas pedal/thick clutch pedal/Radio Delete, oil cooler, 3 exhaust out sides all done like Ernies #99 car. 8 wheels with NOS L-78 x 15 Firestone tires, Fuel cell, recored radiator, all new brakes, rear bumper cut off on ends, small spoiler, decals, head and tail lights coverings and HAND LETTERING all done like the original Modified Sportsman class that Fireball Roberts set the Daytona 500 and Fastest Ford record (500 miles) in in 1964 (year he died). Had some rust repair but not bad, has a excellent radiator core and perfect hood. Starts and runs great. I realize a replica race car is not for most car nuts, but this has a clear title and could be made streetable to drive to local shows/cruise-ins with the addition of lights (easy fix) and even another bucket seat as the doors still open. When you drive into a car show with the open pipes the crowds gather, anxious to tell their old NASCAR favorite driver stories. I always enjoy letting kids put on the helmet and sit in it to have their picture taken. THEY LOVE IT, they are told Do Not Touch with all the other cars. This 61 has great patina and needs NO polishing. -Vehicle is on consignment and at our clients home -Please Call First and talk to a rep at 231-468-2809 EXT 1 -Showroom is by appointment only Please Call -If you would like a FREE Listing please visit our consignment page or Call |
