One Owner Starliner Revival

[@jeffreycler495]

Worked on quite a few Y blocks over the years. You might want to remove both valve covers the next time you get her running. Check for proper oil flow to both rocker shafts. The Ford y blocks tend to sludge up and block oil passage way's in the cylinder block and heads. They used to sell top oiler kits for the rocker arm assembly that connects to the oil pressure sending units. The fix is to remove the heads and ream out L shaped oil passage in the block. Get yourself a dwell meter to check your points gap and for wornout bushings in the distributor. Dwell should show 27 degrees. Drop me a message if you need any advice. I grew up with these cars back in the 1960s and have a lot of knowledge on them. Most of the mechanics who worked on them are long gone.

[@SpeedBumpGarage]

Thanks for the info! Definitely going to check out the top end

[@allenweaver5997]

The Y block was also bad to turn the cam bearings and hinder oil flow

[@7days_week]

@RepentandbelieveinJesusChrist0amen

[@tturtle1659]

@RepentandbelieveinJesusChrist0 Sounds a bit drastic, he only did not check rocker shaft oil supply.

[@thomasmadden2258]

1960 wing. Sharp car

[@garyjubar5733]

The sound of that starter cranking that engine over takes me back about 60 years.

[@MadeInNewYork73]

U made my day! Neighbors had a 60 Starliner...what a nerdy girl, they had when I was only in Kindergarten. STILL a Ford Girl at 68. Remember those seats flipping when hit from a tar truck from behind. RIP for that one - they certainly are rare!

[@motaman8074]

My Dad had a Galaxie when I was a kid. ( I'm old) The Starliner is a beauty!

[@kennethsouthard6042]

I've never been a fan of 60 Fords in general. However, I must say that Starliner in black looks awesome.

[@TheKubelman]

CJ is a great little guy reminds me of my grandson. he's bright and observant. he knew what you were doing with the compression test and immediately got a system going where you didn't have to tell him "when" he started and stopped at the right moments. great moments with your boys they'll treasure

[@royhaught9516]

You did it the correct way and took your time , one step after another!

[@joewaldrip8962]

my first car was a 60 sunliner with a 352 4-barrel. very fast . my commuter car from Shelton and McCleary WA. White with white convertible top. fun car to drive.

[@thomasryan8218]

Almost one million subscribers, very well deserved.

[@Tannerrebuilds]

thank you

[@SpeedBumpGarage]

Thanks!

[@38calibercoffee]

Mr Waddell, in a world simmering with craziness, it is good that we have people like you, Jack, and AJ providing us with such interesting and endearing videos. As usual, a great video from a great channel.

[@eddtemperley2421]

What a gorgeous looking car and I hope she scrubs up well. Very well done on getting it running and I cant wait to see it being driven.

[@jdpinbaytown]

Nice ole Ford!, Always liked the Starliner!, My 1959 Ford Fairlane had the same powertrain when I got it minus the overdrive, The 292 was blown and I ended up putting a 390 with a C6 in it that came out of my 1976 F100!

[@stevemehanmusic]

When I was a kid my Uncle John had one of those Starliners. Light kind of mint green. Always thought it was a great looking car

[@morewithles]

Owned that same year and model with red interior when I joined the USAF in 1971. Drove to my first assignment at Dover DE only to have it stolen a few months later. It was a beautiful high gloss black with chrome wheels! I would still own it today if it hadn’t been stolen.

[@1776_Garage]

Cool. Thanks for your service. I was in the Airforce also.

[@ericnelson4841]

That awesome obtw thank you for your service..... it is men and women like yourself that allow every American to sleep in peace....... thanks again for your service....

[@SpeedBumpGarage]

Thank you for your service. I bet the red interior looked amazing

[@jthampshire]

I learned to drive in my mom's 60 Fairlane. I think it is one of the best looking Fords ever. Overdrive. It is operated electrically. When you shift int 3rd and want OD, you let off the gas and it shifts. The cable is to disable OD. Push forward for electric OD. Pull out to disable.

[@jimmangum7566]

A little about the overdrive... The cable is only for disengaging the overdrive so it won't operate, for example if you are in the mountains & you don't want it to engage. To engage the overdrive you let up off the accelerator about 35 mph or above. You will feel a slight lurch, then when placing your foot back on the accelerator you should be able to tell you have slower rpms. If you need to pass someone with maximum performance, press the accelerator to the floor and the O/D will disengage for maximum performance. Afterwards let your foot back off the gas and it will re-engage. It is operated by a kickdown switch under the accelerator, a relay on the firewall, & a Borg-Warner overdrive unit mounted on the back of the transmission. There is also a solenoid and a governor on the Borg Warner unit. I had a 56 Ford with overdrive. Loved it! I enjoy the channel and hope this info helps!

[@SpeedBumpGarage]

Thanks Jim! I was wondering what that firewall switch was

[@KennethHaughton-z2h]

Wow!! The Galaxie is my favorite Ford! I never thought I would see one in one piece ever. I'm Ken Haughton from Crystal Beach Ontario Canada 🇨🇦. Ive been off work since 2005 because of ptsd. And not even from my full-time job. I was a volunteer fire-rescue in Fort Erie. I saw way too much so I had to go 8nto the hospital 3 times for my sanity. I've been collecting small disability pension now for 20 years. So I'll never be able to afford my dream car. But I want to thank SPEED BUMP for filming all they do. Now I can follow along with a STARLIGHTER!! Close enough. GOD BLESS you guys..

[@KennethHaughton-z2h]

I know. Spell correct can make anyone look like Eric Cartman in a spelling bee. STARLINER. Geeze

[@RickyPinkston]

Love your old Ford young man you have got you a keeper fix it up you have got 2 fine young ones to really like to see them work with their dad in the garage and their mother to keep on putting out these great videos also love watching you all

[@nelsonlima8477]

I'm going to be happy for you guys when you hit 1 million subscribers

[@SpeedBumpGarage]

We are close!

[@barryshisler3720]

That is one awesome machine I can't wait to see you drive it

[@timmac4565]

Nice find and I look forward to seeing more videos on the car and what you guys end up doing with it. I love watching your videos because it brings back memories of the days my dad and I worked on my old cars and I used the same phrase Jack uses ( Hey Day ). My dad taught me a lot about about mechanics. You and your sons have something very special that’s not seen much these days and I hope you can hang on to that special relationship forever. Looking forward to seeing your future videos.

[@boundsgeorge]

May want to check out cold war motors , another cool ch. !

[@carolmiland9665]

In great shape Kent. Can't wait till you show cleaned up. Good find

[@roberteshaw9520]

Tenacious effort put forth in getting this car to run.The Ford stylists came out with a fine looking car that year. The roof line looks especially good as does the entire back of the car'. I hope you can continue to make progress with it.

[@johnnyyarbrough9716]

New to your channel . My Dad worked at the Ford Dallas plant for 40 years till closing in 1972 . Probably saw this gem of a car roll down the assembly line.

[@scottleininger6201]

That is so awesome you got it running. Thank you for introducing me to the starliner it is beautiful 🤠🤠🤠

[@loose-arrow-garage]

That Starliner is nice. Definitely worth saving. I'm looking forward to seeing more of it!

[@rondisanti8928]

Brings back some memories. My grandparents had a 60-something galaxy 500. i got to drive it s couple times. miss those days.

[@craigk3331]

I love this model! Wish I could find one!

[@flintsmith3317]

You have an absolute gem. Keep it as original as posible. I love Y blocks. They are in a class of their own.

[@mikebanks7364]

Hi I am glad to see you back on tell your son I said hi I am proud of him ❤❤❤❤

[@America1stperiod]

Love this project car. Your bright back to life it could be amazing

[@scotimotti]

Soooo lucky...what a beautiful car. Congratulations

[@milmil6594]

Treasure..a real boat on wheels..A great find and a classic we don't see very often..good luck and thanks for saving history

[@KenJencks]

What a great video. It brings back memories of me and my dad working on cars. So awsome you involve your kids.

[@SpeedBumpGarage]

Thanks so much!

[@lowella598]

Great find! I had one it took myself and my friend to Langley BC . to go to college circa 1973 fix and cruise

[@robertrohler3644]

Great videos. Ithink it is great you and your kids working on old vehicles together. Keep up the good work.

[@SpeedBumpGarage]

Thanks 👍

[@terryeustice5399]

Congratulations Kent on the start of the Starliner. I love your and Jack’s videos. Going to need work as any project What a great Find. 💯👍👊

[@SpeedBumpGarage]

Thanks 👍

[@tarmavaughan7578]

Love the look of this car. I’ve never seen one.

[@rlp2806]

Man, I'm jealous I've always wanted a 1960 Starliner ! You got a new follower here. I can't wait to see your next video on this car! Great video!

[@Tannerrebuilds]

there great cars. im glad im restoring 7 of them and the sunliner

[@cptbricky]

Nice, I really like the look of this car very very cool

[@Rev22-21]

Enjoy every minute with your son.... They're invaluable. 😊 On a side note: Perry Mason episode had a Star Liner in it once (maybe twice). Though it appeared black (who could say with B&W footage) it also sported the mechanical folding / hideaway semi-hard top. Talk about gorgeous I'd love to have one myself (w/ classic Cragers) though I'm an old Chevy guy myself. Anyway...here's hope you success and best of life.😊

[@Nicks66Service]

Y-Blocks are pretty great! Don't get talked into switching to something else, Ys can be very quick and they have an exhaust note like no other engine. Very much worth the eventual rebuild, built one at the shop and it is surprisingly fast and reliable especially with a good balance job. You may have issues getting oil to the top end- oil comes from the middle cam bearing and the bores can get sludgy. Both rocker shafts can be easily modified to get more pressure. When you rebuild, Iskendarian has a peach of a cam for the Y-Block, and there are new lifters out there. Do your research and have a ball, it is absolutely worth loving up this particular engine.

[@petecunnien5368]

Very very cool car there!! Enjoy the laps with the kids

[@chemicalspore]

Congrats on 1 million subscribers

[@leegoldeneagle9003]

Cool thanks for your time that was fun and it did run 😮👍👍👍😃

Groovey dadeeo, incredible impressive saves

[@alfavulcan4518]

My mom had a 60 galaxy when I was a kid. I’ve always loved the 60 Starliner and Sunliner

[@mikego18753]

Moving straight on to the next vid.ha ha.Thumbs up. Thanks.(uk)

[@PlayStopRewindFilms]

I said it before but I don’t even know how to work on cars have little interest in it but your family gets me interested in learning through these videos

[@micksterboone4517]

I'm a Chevy guy at heart but always had a soft spot for the '60 Ford. Beautiful car!

[@SpeedBumpGarage]

Thanks!

[@danielventura8073]

I almost wet myself when I saw the thumbnail. I have wanted a 1960 ever since my dad had one when was 4 years old. His was a blue 4 door.

[@charlesstarlin6354]

Awesome always cool stuff always thanks

[@jimk4267]

my folks had a '61 Sunliner...I remember that car quite fondly. The car my father taught me how to change and set points. 352. Very unique style

[@troysgarage]

Need to have Jack put a 2-stroke on that Knee Rover for you! Get from the house to the shop in 2.4 seconds! Great work guys!

[@SpeedBumpGarage]

Lol I’m ready to put that thing back in storage

[@jonoffensend7519]

My first car was a 1960 ford, bottom of the line with no accessories except a heater . I Have always liked this one year design👍🎩

[@stevewaterhouse3025]

what a very cool project car !! Have fun brother!!

[@SpeedBumpGarage]

Thanks 👍

[@Goomer]

In the 70's my friend bought one that was a convertible, top retracted into the trunk. He pulled up to my house and looked pretty beat up, and like a Grandma's car and said "get in". He floored it and my head snapped back as we left a patch of smoke and rubber that amazes me to this day. If I remember right it had a Thunderbird engine (said Thunderbird on the valve covers anyway and was a big block 4??) What a cream puff. Yours is far better looking.

[@joesturdivant7843]

That's awesome all your hard work payed off good luck with rest

[@jeffreykurth2703]

First time watching one of your videos. Good job. Good call on checking valves.

[@johnmayer158]

What a beautiful car! Nice.

[@SpeedBumpGarage]

Thanks!

[@michaelmason4206]

Great video. Can’t wait to see your next work on this truly unique vehicle.

[@bradleybennett6768]

Love it that it's running. Keep up the good work.

[@slicksnewonenow]

Nice find! Those are far and few between. If your son 3-D prints the top of that "S" on the deck lid lock cover, you could have it vacuum plated in gold to match the rest of the emblem. And I'm pretty sure that SMS Auto Fabric would probably have the original seat cloth. Man, the rear glass in those '60 and '61 cars sure was neat! The compound curves and the way it dumps down between the fins is great 👍

[@SpeedBumpGarage]

Thanks! I will look into SMS

[@SNELLERIZED]

That's AMAZING that you got it to run. I don't think I would have had the faith to do that.

[@billoc1255]

Like the Indian in "The Outlaw Josey Wales" would say "Endeavor to preserve" . Nice job !

[@billoc1255]

Persevere...typo above

[@ratgreen]

Just found your channel, great content. And your kid is super smart !

[@67Stang]

Great to hear that old girl run.

[@license2kilttheplaidlad640]

One of my favorite cars.

[@Deep_Blue_Sapphire]

Absolutely love it!❤

"It's Alive . . IT'S ALIVE" !!!! - While you were cranking it, I could almost hear it saying "I Think I Can, . . I Think I Can".

[@friguy4444]

Awe YEA!!! BEAUTIFUL!!

[@lifeisgood5288]

I had a 60 like that in 73 I also had a 59 f100 with the 292 great motor

[@patriciamuskevitsch8359]

We had this car when I was a kid. Rode many a mile behind that back seat looking up at the stars

[@paulweigle6872]

Great job boys!!! AJ did great on the trigger.

[@ablelock]

Well, I would like to see some more of your videos with you and Jack working on the car and your other son AJ enjoy watching you work with your two sons on those antique cars. Hopefully you’ll have your videos up again here soon.

[@grantkoeller8911]

coolest car i've ever seen!!!

[@debbiekimberly8876]

I love watching your videos!

[@SpeedBumpGarage]

Thank you so much!

[@robertlacob8831]

Nice car. That engine sounds healthy. My friend had the same car back in 1969 except with a 2 speed Ford-o-matic and was a Galaxie. Same color and engine. Had a year until trains gave out and then bought a 57 Chevy like mine.

[@jimburig7064]

I think the 1960 is one of Ford's best styled cars. If I'm ever in a position to collect cars, I'd love to have on e of these one year only beauties.

[@jeffsmith846]

I am originally from Ada, OK but lived in Missouri for several decades. We would drive down I-44 and go south at Stroud. Still going south, past the I-40 junction is the town of Seminole. For at least a decade, on the south end of Seminole was a storage lot with metal fencing and a metal gate. It was chocked full of 1960 Fords. No other year or brand. I often wonder where they went. That was a one year unique style as you know. My Uncle had a new one that I still recall in the mid 60s. Look forward to seeing this one cleaned up and on the road. It is definitely worth it as it seems to be pretty much rust free.

[@johncaballero8013]

Sweet old Ford. Old Fords never die! Really glad you were able to wake up this old girl. 👍

[@brianscott9861]

Nice ride. Classic! Trust me, you will make a profit!!!
