SUMMARY
Drives out and rides GREAT. Would make a Great American or Cannonball Run race car. Not as many people like the '60 Galaxies as the '61s, BUT this car changes just about every ones opinion of the '60 Galaxies, especially it being a Starliner. There are no scrapbooks showing how a 'rust-bucket' was taken to a beautiful car as this car was beautiful to start with. This was a labor of love and is the last car the owner plans on doing. He has a beautiful '59 Chevy/409/4speed he drives a lot, but due to his age/health, he may sell it too. I have been into old cars all my life (I'm 75), friends with the owner Al for about 10 years and agreed to help him sell this (these) cars. I have a 10 year/1035 items/100% feedback eBay rating and can arrange quality shipping.
