The 1960 Ford Fairlane nicknamed "The Bootlegger" has sat for over 3 years. It's been a home for mice spiders and even raccoons but today we try and get it running. Am I feeling lucky enough to get this car running...we'll see.

We had a 2dr sedan, 292 , std transmission and a neighbor had one just like yours only white. Solid old girls. Stop light to stoplight about even. Mechanically sold.

Nice, especially for her age. If the 223 is good I'd leave her the way she is. One of my first cars was a '60 Starliner. My grandparents neighbors were an odd pair. He had his V8 converted F20 tractors and she had her '60 Starliner, 352/360hp, bland brown, duel straight pipes. She knew how to shift from low to drive then immediately back to low locking it in second gear, pipes cackling 1/3rd mile from her drive as she passed my grandparents house. From the time I was around seven I was taking notice of that car while at my grandparents. They were childless, very friendly to all us grandchildren, and my grandparents laughed about both of them going through their second childhood in their 70's. '73 they retired, having the farm sale, moving to town. I was seventeen, decided I was getting that car. I watched, not a single person at the auction gave that car a second glance-thirteen year old car with ugly oxidation brown paint. Auctioneer opened at $100, I bid $75, only bid made. I enjoyed the hell out of that Ford, was my loud, fairly decent runner, leave my street strip car at home transportation. Dates seemed to like it too-oddly.

Motor wise that’s a tough one. I like that it’s original but I can understand wanting a nice sounding v8 in there. Crazy idea you should throw an amr500 supercharger on it before you change it for kicks. Just to see what it does.

@@mydirtygarage Or any Ford v8 , but, short of a 427 , the 390 sounds like a good idea. But, being seen out and about, with six cylinder power is also cool. As far as doing a v8 swap is concerned, I imagine the brakes , suspension and differential will be the same as what a V8 came with . 🙂👍, from New Zealand.

@@mydirtygarage We got 4 door 1960 Ford's new in NZ , in RHD from Canada. Back in those days, we got Chevrolets , Pontiacs ,Fords, and Dodge/ Plymouths in RHD from Canada, probably the most common were Chevrolets. All were 4 doors, unless there was a special order.

@@barrycuda3769 Believe basically all he would need to change is the motor mounts. He'd likely prefer a alternator to the generator, change the rear gear pumpkin to a lower ratio. 6 cylinders had a 3:00 for highway speeds of 70-75 before the '73 lowering of limits.

@@barrycuda3769 The president through the department of transportation in late '73 required states to lower the speed limits to 55mph if they wanted to continue to receive federal funding for roads. Done because opec-arabs-were playing games with the oil, was a energy crunch. Around 2000 these requirements were withdrawn. States regulate the speed limits, usually 60-65 on two lanes, all other larger roads 70-75. Fed interstates are 70 unless a certain state makes it 75. Montana has no speed limits 'within reason'.

Another lame attempt to join the barn find bandwagon. Not a barn find anyway. You can go back to whatever you were doing before you starting wasting bandwidth.
