RE: IMHO, it just doesn't get any cooler than this

Thanks Dan. I never get tired of seeing any nicely built '60/'61 Starliner. And John's has to be one of the greatest ever.

I remember reading a long time ago about how John bought this car new. His dad wouldn't allow him to buy an HP 375 or 401 horse car. A 300 horse was his mandated limit. So he went with a cruiso and eventually had a 428CJ in it. I read too that John was very adept and being able to remove the entire front sheet metal on this '61 in very short order. Allowing for ease of work and service on the brutal cammer.

One more thing, John Vermeersch was a pleasure to work with for me. He helped me many years ago on a specific project(a 351W into a '64 Fairlane which is almost as difficult as installing an FE in that cavity). John stood by his gurantees and he knows his stuff. He also treated me to a nice tour of Total Performance once when I just popped in unaanounced while in Detroit on business.

A real gentleman. Does he still have that very cool, low mileage '61 Country Squire wagon?
