Re: 1961 Ford Starliner
That Boss 9 is all blinged out! The stock parts that are missing would cost a lot to replace. When I got my Boss 9 with 40,000 original miles, I thought that it would be really unusual to have so few miles. Since then, I've found out that a 40,000 mile B9 is really the norm. Under 10,000 is a little rarer (usually a former race car). B9s are like COPO cars - they didn't generally rack up a lot of miles. The difference with B9s is that many of the parts are B9 only applications. So, a correctly dated carb cost around $5,500.00; correct space saver spare - around $3,500.00, original dated 429 HP block could run $10,000.00 or more.... the list goes on & on.
