If the car is road worthy and worth more money than the parts and scrap. The yard will sell it as a used car.

America brother, the land of excess

Cars recycled for raw materials (mainly steel, aluminium, and copper) are still a whole lot better than cars sitting and rusting under some oak tree out there for decades.

@@herrakaarme sucks to admit but that’s true

@@kennethsouthard6042 it keeps me up at night to think of all the 1 in 500 and million dollar classic American cars that have been crushed or turned to dust because people just didn’t care back then. They saw those cars just like how we see a 2015 Chevrolet Malibu today

Agreed to that

Me too and that's true

Yeah definitely seem to get a better view of what's going on

Agreed.

But that tripod, though...🙂

Not enough car left there to make it roadworthy.

@@ShadowsOnTheScreen Anything is possible, everything is fixable. It’s always worth it. The more challenging something is the more rewarding the outcome will be. Dream big. Don’t let the world ruin your courage. Don’t become a hateful weakminded person like everyone else. Sometimes we throw good things away, because we are too ignorant to know what to do. People like you throw stuff away and then create new stuff that is half as strong and costs 2x as much

Same here man!!!!

I second this comment. In Ireland there's precious few American yokes around and they're a pleasure to see. If something sits up for any length of time the wilderness takes it.

Haha same here , good to see another Scott watching these videos

You guy's have nice accents too, I live in Michigan, our accent is boring, plain. The southern people in the states do have a cool accent same as British English is cool

since ya scottish hahha i had to ask 1 thing is it true that guys in scotland wear kilts COMMANDO? ( haha no underwear under em)

I agree, he has a good sense of taking something that old and making it run again.

@@rogerblough2503 While this engine may still run, I don't see the car ever driving again.

Are you joking? That engine is trash

Did yours have the over drive lever to the right of the steating wheel to pull out in it

This is his car. Quit playing

I totally agree with you Wild Bill

i was just wondering where part 2 is lol

@@emerybryant same

I wonder if he lost the part 2 🤔

@@emerybryant possible

Over a year later... still don't see part 2 !!!

I've always wondered(besides some efficiency) why they made the engine bay so tiny and unworkable! I mean the less area only helps aerodynamics and fuel efficiency and speed/drag so much! Like id rather have a little more drag and not have to use a 2 foot long extension on a ratchet to get to the starter thats 4 unches below the hood and have to go in from the bottom! There is a reason all the old timers say they don't make thing as good as/like they used to. Its because its true!!! Plus everything is plastic now and shatters into confetti when u get in a fender bender going 4mph lol. Its kinda sad. That's why I prefer built or rebuilt older vehicles vs most moder stuff. In rare cases do I prefer a new 1 and if I do its prob a $100,000+ car i can't afford lol

i was hoping someone would set the record straight, thanks!

Right on Paul. Exactly what I was thinking. The 352/360 HP was actually known to be Ford's first real HiPo motor, and a good one at that. Take care and be well! RS, Maj Ret.

Yup as an automotive machinist I can confirm this.

I have a 60 thunderbird with the 352, no difference between mine and this one. The 352 360hp had special exhaust manifolds and a aluminum intake. But the 300hp 352 is still a runner. JS

I was told there were two versions of the 352. The thunderbird and the police interceptor the only other engine in the 60 ford was in a ford fairlane and it had a 292 but I have to confess I never seen one with a 4 barrel carburetor

Also the head camera is better

The 61 was better looking, IMO. Didnt have the odd grille or wonky taillights. And the bigger motor too.

I had a 61 with the 406 with the castiron headers 3 speed with over drive

There was a little over 78000 1960 made and over 27000 of the 1961 starliners made but you see way more 61 than 60 I owed a 61 black z code automatic probably 390 300hp or 330hp but was replaced with 428cj and a top loader 4 speed had it 7 years sold about 14 years ago miss driving it to best looking car ever made.

Ford Motor Company introduced its new power plant upgrades midyear. 1961 midyear came the 390 4bbl 375bhp and solid lifter 390 3x2bbl 401 bump top engines. In midyear 1962 was when FOMOCO introduced the 406cid power plant as 385bhp in 4bbl configuration and 405 bhp in 3x2bbl solid lifter form. In 1963 midyear was Ford's introduction of the famed 427cid in 4bbl form at 410bhp and in 2x4bbl configuration at 425bhp with solid lifters. The midyear introduction of these power plants did coincided with NASCAR time requirements to allow Ford to use these raw racing power plants on the NASCAR circuit the following year if put into production in the prior year.

Its sadly too far gone

Top oiler on an FE ???

I'm not even a Ford man, but between these and 62-64 T bird I'd love to restore one.

HotRod Ray , yes sir, got the idea from a 1955 ford pickup with a 292 in it that my dad had. The whole deal was homemade out of copper tubing ran from side of the block where the oil pressure guage was tapped in the block, thru the valve covers. Fixed a 348 Chevy truck motor the same way.

I thought they made them in 62 also. Last year.

Anyway of the week lol. I agree btw. I like some new cars. But love vehicles that are easy to work on.

even a 390 powered country squire had surprising top end speed

Some of the 1960 352's came with solid lifters and a 4 v carb which was factory rated 360 HP. I had one. It's always been said that the heads on those engines were the best FE heads ever made for the FE blocks.

@@UNITED2009100 only 352 i had was in a 65 f100 ,never any problems but definitely no 390

@@DanKirchner5150 I think the y block came several different ways. 352, 360, 390, 406, 427 and 428. I had a 1970 F250 Camper Special which had the 360 engine. I remember one very cold night I worked 3rd shift and when i pulled out of the parking lot around 7:00 am to head home, the engine started ticking. It was windy and way below zero that night. I pulled into the drug store right next door to where I worked, opened the hood and saw oil everywhere. The filter case had split at the seam and was gone. That is where the oil went. Luckily, the store had a small area where they kept some auto parts and oil. They had a PH 8 filter and oil. It was what got me home that cold night. At one of our local auto parts stores, I was talking to the guy at the counter about the filter coming apart at the seam. He had a Fram book and in their tests, it takes 250 lbs to deform the end of the case and 300 lbs to break the seam. I ended up putting a new oil pump in because the pump has the relief valve built in the pump. The valve must have stuck on that cold night. I still have my 1968 Ford Torino. It has the 390 4 speed which was rated 335 HP. I have rebuilt the engine 3 times. The last time I had the machine shop get me a Bullitt Cam with the 427 grind and solid lifters. Had to get adjustable rockers and valve springs to go with the cam. The difference in performance is mid range, 2000 to 5500 RPM. I am very lucky to have kept the car. I almost never talk to anyone at car shows that can say their car is a one owner. I can!

The virtues of the FE, were mainly about torque, because if the meaty crank.They are quirky but neat engines.

My thoughts exactly…the head cam all the time would make us dizzy, but it’s good for certain views.

332s were only installed in ‘58 & ‘59 Fords. Both 332 and 352 were introduced in 1958, but the 332 was dropped for 1960. What he has under that hood is a very rare version of the 352. Solid lifters. 360 hp. And this souped up version was only available in 1960. And I’ve never heard of a four speed on the column. Unless you consider a three speed on the column with overdrive.

go to turtle creek road and meet juliana november! 1`0/4..

and if a standard 352 4bbl motor they were 300 horse and loved to overheat that is why the surge tank is there..

@@rorymunroe3771 That's not the reason for the surge tank. The radiator was lower than the top of the engine, thus tank was there as an expansion tank. Such tanks began in '58 when the FE engines were first installed.

That's ridiculous, this wreck is WAAAAAY beyond saving. It's strictly a parts car. Chrome, glass, engine and trans cores, rear axle, etc.

@@pookysdad4884 it can be saved! I’ve saved cars just like this!

@@REMBRANTTUBE Yeah but a 60 is a one-year-only body, and nothing is available in repro. Not like a Chevy Impala, where EVERYTHING is available.

@@pookysdad4884 I agree! That’s why it’s important to save that year! It’s gonna be expensive for sure! But, it would be great if it could be done!

@@REMBRANTTUBE More expensive than the finished car is worth, so it would have to be a labor of love, not profit. You could put almost unlimited money into a 68 Charger, 69 Camaro, or fastback Mustang, and get it back at auction (maybe), but a 60 Starliner? Only if George Poteet didn't already have one.

it's one of the nicest cars ever made
