1961 Ford Starliner

You need to be way more specific when talking B9s. Color? S Motor or T Motor? Status of all those B9 specific kinds of parts Bergy speaks of? Wrong carb, no smog, modified air cleaner and a replacement non-rolled lip front fender could throw a sale price backwards $50k. White ones are common and buyers don't need to pay up for cars with excuses.

Fortunately, Ford saved the documentation for cars of that era & Kevin Marti will provide the owner with an options report based on the VIN. So, documenting the Ford cars is much easier than GM cars. The number of B9s made over the 2 years of production (1969 & 1970) is slightly higher than '69 COPO Camaros, but B9s seem to have higher values due to the much lower number of surviving cars. Also, B9 Mustangs were all sent from the assembly plant to Kar Kraft for engine compartment modifications required to accommodate the huge NASCAR engine. Lots of little assemblies like power steering, brake booster & wedge, motor mounts, mount heat shields, calipers, shifter linkage, etc. are all B9 specific. Like Tom says, if everything is in place & the color is good - value should be north of $225k with some great cars selling for north of 500k.
My car is calypso coral (like HO)with all original body panels & interior (new carpets) & no rust ever. Numbers match, but it is not a restored car & has some original paint. I drive it, so it doesn't have the value of a trailer queen.

I think I sold mt Calypso Coral 70 for 33K fully restored. The guy still has it. His display talks about buying it out of a barn. That was my shop I call a barn. Not exactly a barn find.
