Hey Charley;

What other surprises do you have up your sleeve that you might want to reveal?

I'll sell you the whole POS car......

No expert, but my observations over the years: plugs would be going into valve covers in the middle for Ford's "semi-hemi".

OK, OK, I'll bite! I love Charley's car and am interested in the Black 61 Starliner for my friend. How about more info and pics?!!

Rick

Taz--would love to own a Ford Hemi-headed car! Where can they be found? I would even consider selling my 61 Starliner to get my hands on one!!! My wife might leave me; but, at least it would be something to consider (lol)

Taz--that is one beautiful car. Your posting triggered my recall---A "friend" on mine in Palm Springs about two years ago promised I could buy his 69 Boss9 for $175k! Totally original car with less than 8,000 miles. I'm still waiting for his call!!

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.

AND I thought classic GM and MoPar were high $$ !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

OK, so what is the current market value of a 1969 numbers matching B9 with around 40k on the odo and documentation?
