1000 HP Twin Turbo "Cruzliner" - 1960 Ford Sunliner Great 8 Finalist!
In this video from the 2026 Detroit Autorama, I catch up with George Conrad to get the full story on his 1960 Ford Sunliner, famously known as "Cruzliner." This car didn’t just show up; it fought its way into the prestigious Ridler Award "Great 8" finalists, and for good reason!

George calls this one a "stepchild car"—a project started over a decade ago that he stepped in to finish just two years ago. The result is a seamless blend of classic Ford styling and modern, earth-shaking performance.

The Build Details:
The Heart: A massive Jon Kaase 547-ci Boss 9 engine.

The Boost: Twin turbos and Holley EFI, pushing a "streetable" 1000 HP.

The Stance: Custom EVOD wheels that give it that perfect aggressive look.

The Finish: World-class plating by Advanced Plating and a killer interior that proves no detail was overlooked.

George takes us through the journey of acquiring the car and the push to get it ready for the biggest stage in the custom car world. It’s a beast of a machine that still manages to look like a piece of rolling jewelry.

Whether you're a Ford fan or just love high-end custom builds, you don't want to miss this one. Check it out!
