American Performance: Top 20 Early Muscle Cars

  1. 1960 Ford GalaxieStarliner

Ford felt left out of the performance race, so for 1960, they introduced their Interceptor 360 package. It was available on the full-size Galaxie with the Starliner body style. The Starliner was a two-door coupe with a sloping roofline. It was ideal for those fast NASCAR tracks that Ford wanted to dominate in the early 60’s.

They based their Interceptor 360 package on an old 352 V8 engine. However, they equipped it with a new performance intake system, beefed up internals and a dual exhaust. This resulted in some impressive 360 HP ratings. Ford managed to achieve 15 wins in the NASCAR championship for the 1960 season.
