Hi Rick,
I hope all?s well with you.

I received a request last night from Motor Trend Classic magazine ? they are looking for a ?57 ? ?59 Ranchero, stock and in good condition, for a story they want to write.  Looking for one here in Southern California, or in Michigan ? preferably here.  I think it will be a comparison story with an El Camino.

Do you know of a good Ranchero that might be available?  They want it sometime in March.

Thanks!

Now that Shopratwoody's Ranchero is temporarily out of commission, the only really good Ranchero I can think of is a black F-code that was one of the  featured display vehicles at the 2007 Knott's Fabulous Fords Forever show.  It belongs to the original owner Pete McCarroll.  I think he lives somewhere in the South Bay or Torrance.  I'll contact John Clinard tomorrow with the last information I have.  Since his 57 is a 312 Y-block with an original Paxton-McCulloch supercharger it might make a very good comparison car to an El Camino.  John may be able to get better address information from Ford Car Club Council President Morales, as he did the signage used in front of the car when it was displayed.

That would be a good choice Bob. It was for sale last year, don't know if he still
has it. I think about 40,000 if I remember right.
