Hello

Hello everyone,

I am newbie and finally have a question to ask as I am doing research for my next car. Currently I have a 99% stock Model A but fell in love with the 57 Ford line up so I am starting the research part before plunging. I know of two 57 rancheros for sale and the guy said he would take 12 for both or 7500 for one. One is totally stock the other has been 'upgraded' in the engine dept. I was looking at the all stock one (292 with auto) which has been sitting outside for years with the driver door open. Flat tires, collapsed shocks, etc., I could not get in to see about the rust on it, which I assume is probably a lot. I personally think that 7500 is quite a bit for a car that needs to be flatbeded home and frame off restored to get in drive shape-am I wrong? I could maybe see if it was in a barn and only needed a little help but we are talking full take down of all of the systems.

Thank you,

Mike

Hi All,

Thank you for the input and insight. I think I am going to pass on the ranchero and wait for a sedan or wagon. Mainly due to his price and me getting married in two months plus an apparently huge tax bill coming up in Jan. I will continue to learn and ask questions if you don?t mind.
