Description of 1957 Ford Ranchero |
|
. ***POWERFUL 302 ENGINE --- COLD AC --- FLAMES!!!*** There is no other Ranchero on the road with this level of customization. CHROME CHROME CHROME - Grill, Bumpers, Engine, even the Alternator! Every aspect of functional, enhanced cosmetics have been incorporated into this amazing vehicle, from the low-riding front with dropped spindles and springs, the shaved nose, incredibly sharp looking red-orange-yellow flames tipped in bright blue + tasteful pinstriping, Grant steering wheel with proud "Rock and Roll" etching, the hooker headers are ceramic coated shorties, the aluminum loom covers are ball-milled. Don't worry, not all the customizations are cosmetic; the latest safety, convenience, and 21st century utilities have been incorporated: powered disc brakes, icy cold air-conditioning (controls tastefully hidden behind the ashtray door), tilt-wheel-lever, AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION! New gas-tank (with stock intake placement), Mallory Unilite Distributor, updated 57 radiator with manual and automatic fan actuation, modern electric wipers, and last but not least, a nice running Ford 302 engine with lots of chrome and polished aluminum. It has a Ford nine-inch rear and a C-4 transmission with oil filter and cooler for the transmission. It has the right stance and sounds powerful through the Flowmaster mufflers. It has big exhaust pipes and a crossover pipe. The interior is custom tweed with tilt wheel, cold air conditioning, power disc brakes and a casette stereo with 6-CD changer under the seat. It even has retractable shoulder harnesses for both driver and passenger. Bottom line: there are fewer than 100 of these beautiful first generation automobiles that are STREET LEGAL to drive, and this is by far the best one you will see for sale in a long time. 26,000 rebuilt road miles. This car runs and drives great. It was built in San Jose and spent its life in California until June 2006 and has required very little rust repair done to the body. It can be driven anywhere with confidence. You can drive the Ranchero home. The restoration was of incredible quality, absolutely no paint bubbling anywhere, means that this is sure to retain it's exquisite appearance for decades to come.
