Dang that's pretty rough


This looks like a much better deal, nice clean little driver, and not much more money

I saw that as well, thought about going to look at the ranchero, and then to the custom....

57chero, where are you located?

whats with the trim around the rear window of the white ranchero, i have nevere seen that double horizontal bar thing?

That double bar across the rear window is a aftermarket thing sold to stop loose items in the rear from going thru the window when loading or on a hard stop.

The red one is pretty wavy, lots of mud.  The white one isn't  that bad, from a Midwest view.  Mark

Interesting he makes a big point of no back seat, but no pic..sure curious if it's still got the oem shelf to replace the seat. irritating the data plate is out of focus.

Those old mags are awesome. The body looks pretty beat up. It looks like it has "Bondo rockers", ask me how I know...... My car came from Yakima, looks like this guy made it to thr tri-cities area as well haha.

The 332 wouldn't be stock would it? I've heard rumors, but never documented that a late 57 could have an FE, but I would think it would be a 352.

Kinda sad, every picture made my eyes shout out OUCH! and I didn't know my eyes could shout. The wheels are are not ''olds'' but what were referred to as coke bottle mags made by American.

Opps sorry, that was a typo. Meant to say "old" not slows-mobile!.

I have heard these rumours as well.

     Funny that you guys mentioned that about the possibility of 57's slipping through the line with the new to be FE engines.   I heard rumors about the same thing.  Wonder where they are today.
     It's a known fact  that Ford made at least two 57 Fords for Robert Mitchum with Lincoln engines for the movie Thunder Road.
