Bobby Alloway’s shop built this 1960 Ford Starliner around a black exterior, a lipstick red interior from Pro Auto Custom Interiors, and a 429 Boss V8 that Ford never offered when the car was new. It debuted at the 2017 Goodguy’s Nashville Nationals to a wave of praise from hot rod builders who rarely get impressed by paint alone. One viewer remembered owning an original 1960 Starliner as a teenager before selling it ahead of being drafted in 1966. What does it take to make a sixty-year-old body style look this fast standing still?

Bobby at Alloway’s Hot Rod Shop says there are only two engines like this one anywhere in the world, and it lives under the hood of a 1955 Plymouth Savoy that looks almost stock at first glance. Between the Art Morrison chassis, a custom interior from Pro Auto Custom Interiors’ Steve Holcomb, and that over-500-cubic-inch polished aluminum Hemi, this build hides serious ambition behind restrained styling.

Read on to find out what is actually hiding under that plain-looking paint.
