The only reason I didnt totally lose it, was because my ex wife showed up with her scumbag bf that she left me for.. that and my GF was there.. if they had caught the guy he would be dead... Who is Bastard.. and is that his full RCC handle?

I do have four of them. One four door hard top , one two door hard top (the red one) , and two starliners all are 1961. what do you need? just the driver rear quarter. I will have to drive out to were they are in storage and look but I think the only one that has good quarters is the one starliner. That one is a factory hipo 390 car so there is now way we could cut it up. But there is a guy here in colorado that all he does is 61 galaxies. I don't have his number with me but will get it when I get to the shop and get you the number.


Don't give up they are out there. I looked for years to find the red one then with in mounths after finding it I had bought the other starliner and the four door for $1200.

Nice looking ride. I hope you get everything put back soon. I love them old Fords, my dad had a 63 1/2 427 2 4-bbl car when I was growing up. I would like to find one like it someday.

LET'S GO HANG THAT SUM B@TCH!!!!!!!!!!!:-x Same thing just happened to my Sis's 62 Comet 2dr Custom. Some drunk f#ck smashed into it while parked & took off. Her insurance almost totalled it until we b#tched so much they finally agreed to fix it if she agreed to it being listed as a salvaged vehicle. It's such a mess I'm getting pissed all over again!! Anyway,it's all fixed with a new 1/4 panel. We paid the xtra $ & got the whole car painted,new interior & chromed bumpers. Just looking for a couple missing trim pieces & she'll be as good as new. Good luck with your baby

Would you believe just this past year I helped a friend & his dad dig a complete 63 1/2 4x2 427ci engine out of his garage!!! The damn thing was complete from air cleaner to oilpan,including every little bracket,bolt,fuel line/filter,linkage,etc!!

Well I got the name and talked to a guy out in Colorado, it looks like he has the sheetmetal that I need, now its just a matter of getting it... This whole summer has been spent just staring at my old car.. I actually am crawlerless right now cause I needed to get funds to work on the ol gal and on my jeep cherokee daily driver..
so I fill my days enjoying others scalers and such fo now.. Hopefully the panels that I need will tuck under a greyhound and this way the shipping will be cheaper!
stupid one only bodied car.. But I love her..
BTW she is a 223 inline 6 with a single barrel Holey carb, and a 3 spd with overdrive.. Love it to death..
