Hello everyone, I had a long talk with some friends, the overall outcome was, "Life can be short, Drive them till you can't, worry about it then!! So, hang on to the wheel and petal to the metal, long live the 57 Ford... hope you all have a great day..

glenmichael.........I sent you a PM.

Thank you, Gary, Thank you, Rich, My health issue came out of nowhere trying to wrap my head around it and I don't want to leave my wife with a burden she does not need. Everything you said makes sense Rich and I thank you. We all think were bullet proof till the Truth kicks you in the chest, everyone enjoy Today you never know what Tomorrow brings!!! 

Even if we had all the details, you're asking probably the most difficult question there is to answer. Research anything you can find on past similar sales, maybe talk to classic car dealer showrooms, etc., etc. Only you know what you'd be comfortable with for a price.
From my research over the years, there is a huge range in pricing mainly due to curb appearance I think, as well as the build. Not too different than a house from that aspect.
Sorry to hear about your health issues......that's a big reason why I'm selling mine.

Sorry to hear!  Anything I can do, call!

Hello everyone, over the years I have learned and enjoyed this site. Today I'm asking for a little help, last week I was told I have a serious health issue, I have decided to sell my toys and stuff one of them my 1957 Custom 300. I am asking for advice as to the asking price, I need to sell soon and would like to be fair about it. Thanks for your input.

Just my 2 cents, and that may be overpriced, but, I would guess 1956.  Unless the earlier Mercury had a different choke arrangement in 1955, the Ford engines had a divorced choke in 1955 and the choke for the 1956 was moved up on the carburetor for 1956,  The Ford vehicles with the 4 barrel carburetor for 1956 had a dual diaphragm vacuum advance and this has a single. Another clue to 56 is the ignition resistor, which was not used in the 6 volt 1955 system. I also note that the heads have freeze plugs and this was dropped in the 1957 year.  So my guess is a 1956 Mercury 312.

I'm glad you're happy with the ADDCO.  It is also good to know ADDCO upgraded the bushings.

Well, I took Gassn826 advice and put an Addco 7/8" factory replacement sway bar on my Ranchero and I'm glad I did it fit perfect, and they now have the correct urethan bushings with it, I just couldn't use the SW T-bird style one on mine because it sits to low, I didn't realize how wimpy the stock one was until I put this one on, very happy with my choice.
