I had a 1961 sunliner 401 hp, tri-carb, factory headers, chrome dress up kit fm factory, factory ac under dash w/4:10 posi, black w/white top, black & white interior. Had to sell it when i got drafted in 1964. Didn't know how rare it was at the time. Sure wish i still had it. Lovely cars.
Nice to see this car with original hub caps, fender skirts and whitewalls. Beautiful. The '61 Sunliner/Starliners were the nicest styled Fords of this era in my opinion.
As I mentioned, I had a deposit on the car, I went to look at it at his place in OK, and looked over the car thoroughly. Not many of these cars around, so I recognized it in your video rather easily.
Ya, they weren't on & after all the money spent on restoration, ,,,,,, but,,,, likely it is set up like my '59 Ford where the reverse lights do not come on when in reverse unless parking lights or headlights are on. That must be the case. Because a detail like that would not be left out.
OK I looked at one in Grove a while back but it was a 6 cyl. I had one in college back in 67 but it was knida special ,I found out later, it was equipped with the 406 and 3 deuces and 3 speed trans with overdrive. The 406 came out in 62 but, according to the original selling dealer it was a very late 61 and they were big enough to get Ford to drop in the 406 that was coming in a few months. I've been looking for that car ever since.
@@TOBYH I feel better now, knowing I'm not the only person on earth who hates all that tacky pimp crap. I also keep a metal trash can and plenty of charcoal lighter on hand especially for fuzzy dice.

Will never forget “unboxing” my mercury. It’s a thrill no one can describe.
Congrats you guys! Love the old big Fords.
Back in the 60,s the the two Ford, s that I think were the most beautiful cars the 60 and 61.
The 61 starliner was 10 times more metal pornography, that any 60's era full size Ford hard top.Work of metal art!
Congrats from Canada on a beautiful car!
What a lovely colour red. And those wheel-skirts. This car is absolutely stunning !!!
Beautiful just beautiful dont change anything but the oil ! 😁
Did anybody notice no back up lights or brake lights but still a gorgeous car
Beautiful car but I hope he fixed the lights before driving it on the road.

I can't wait to get my 61 ford galaxie 500 I am getting 2 of them
Beautiful Starliner
Looks like a pretty nice ride. But, those white walls, hub caps, and finderskirts gotta go!!! Chrome cragers SS. Black walls. Its set to go!!!
Mine is black, with a '64 XL red interior. 390 tri-power 401 HP and B/W T-10 4 speed transmission. AZ no rust car.
Sweet Ford.
I had a deposit on the car last year from Terry. Deal didnt work out, but congrats, these cars are hard to find!
I had a black one.....it was a "barn find" back in the mid '80s.
I want me the baddest racing engine built in the '60s, the 427 Cammer. Now that's a power plant.
She's a Beauty!!!
The guys hauling it leave something to be desired.
escape door is about 600 more well worth it
HEY NICHOLE IS THAT YOU ? NICE RIDE GIRL . RUSTY REEF .
about 8:00 min the car is out if the trailer
The brake lights aren't working.
Sounds like it has an exhaust leak under the hood?
Beutiful!
Does it say "Sunliner" or "Starliner" on the front fender? From the picture it looks like "Sunliner.."
gojoe283 it says Starliner.
Sunliner would be a convertible.
WOW !!
No backup lights

Lucky dog, you
How did you know this came from Terry?
Oh to be rich!
O,, TO WORK TO BE WELL OFF,,, THE AMERCAN WAY..

O.K.!
Somebody screwed you royally for $6000 in the motor... Sounds like a stocker...
Too bad he decided to go with the smaller engine in this one....
390 tri power was The top .
Fender skirts are lame and FUGLY. Those cars were designed for NASCAR racing, not for street ghetto cruising.
getto skirts have got to go
I AGREE, it totally wrecks the looks of the car, they look good on some cars, not this one though, so sorry, get rid of them.

Too long getting off the trailer
Whitewalls and skirts? Just buy a Chevy already!
He wants the best tho.
