Was that 57 with the 368 a factory installed engine or a hotrod project? Ford had a very rare Police option in 56 of a 368 in Ford cars, they carried a "S" engine code. I often wondered if Ford had a 57 368 police option.

LOU, I HAVE NEVER SEEN IT ON A TAG. MY FATHER BUILT 6 57 FORDS IN THE EARLY 60'S WITH 368. TWO OF THEM WENT OVER BY BURLINGTON IOWA FOR A SHERRIFF'S DEPT. MY 57 RANCHERO IS A E CODE ,BUT THE BODY COLOR IS CODED SS. I WAS TOLD IT WAS ORDERED BY A MAN THAT HAD A SMALL FLEET OF SEMI-TRUCKS AND THE RANCHERO WAS DELIVERED, ORANGE WITH A WHITE TOP. WHEN I GOT IT IT HAD BEEN TAKEN DOWN TO BARE METAL, PRIMED AND MADE IN TO A HOT ROD. ALSO A FORD DEALER IN THE PENN. AREA BUILT ABOUT 10 OR 12 57 BIRDS WITH 368'S IN THEM. I THINK THE NAME WAS ZIMMER. AT CARLISLE THIS FALL A FEW OF THE GUYS WERE TALKING ABOUT THE ZIMMER BIRD'S. FIRST TIME I HAD THOUGHT ABOUT THEM IN 20 YEARS TOM

Make me an offer on the valve covers. They are in real good condition. Just need polished up and they are ready to show. No low ball offer, i can always put them on ebay.

Chuck
