57 Ranchero

[57chero]

There is a classic car lot in Portland, Oregon called Memory Lane Motors and I believe they have a 57 Ranchero that belonged to a member that was from cottage Grove, Oregon. It was done in a pro street style lime green and white with a 390, it now has a blue wrap and blacked out chrome?

1957 Ford Ranchero - $25,500

This is a fun and unique Pro Street head turning machine! Lots of work has been done with a cost that far exceeds the price! Powered by a throaty sounding 390ci FE V8 engine bored .060 over! Oversize valves, High lift Comp Cam and TRW Flattop pistons, FPA custom made headers, all topped off with an Holley 750cfm carburetor. C6 Automatic Transmission by B&M with a mild shift kit for crisp positive shifts. Rack-n-Pinion power steering, drop spindles and power disc front brakes. The rear end is a narrowed 9″ Ford with ladder bar suspension and coil overs shocks. 3:25 gears allow for comfortable freeway travel and still get you off the line to have a little fun! 15″ Draglite Weld Racing Wheels, 15×3.5 up front and 31×16.5 Hoosier's in the rear. Autometer gauges set in a smoothed dash with an engine turned aluminum insert. Tilt column with a billet steering wheel. Custom bucket seat upholstery finished in black and gray with a one-off console housing the floor shifter, switches and glove box. Keyless entry, roll up tinted windows. Bed floor is set up with built-in tool boxes and the fuel cell set into the rear of the floor. Moulded in tail gate gives the rear end a smooth look. The car is wrapped in a blue vinyl wrap with black graphics over painted white and green graphics. (photo in pictures) Bumpers and all trim are wrapped in black. Handles quite well for a Pro Street car on the HWY and is a fun cruiser around town. It gets the looks!!

   Not too keen on having the tailgate completely welded up.

Nice bodywork and paint..........except they really needed to do the jambs and underhood. The welded up area that would bother me more is the front nosepiece

Rich, I believe the "Blue" is not paint, but rather vinyl wrap.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Me either. I realize it is supposed to be a race car, but think I'd pass.

See what happens when we get too critical, lol. I guess if I had actually read the description, I would;ld have know that. Thanks John.
