1957 Ford Ranchero 292 V8 engine with 3-speed overdrive transmission on the floor. Stock # DGT0659 VIN C7RF180659 This is a beautiful Ranchero painted in a dark green with a lighter green and white interior. Updated with a 58 hood that has a scoop stock from the factory. This gives it a little bit of class. Has 15-inch chrome 5-spoke Cragar SS wheels with almost new Zaufenr G-fit A5 tires. The speedometer shows 29,077 miles. I'm selling it with unknown mileage. The interior is beautifully .....
finished in a lighter green and white interior and is super nice. It has the original Town & Country radio that works. The heater works well. 2-speed electric wipers that work. 3 Auto Meter gauges: water temperature, oil, pressure, and volts are mounted under the dash. A tachometer is mounted on the left side of the dash. The black carpets are in excellent condition. Their off-white headliner is perfect. The green and white door panels are excellent. The dome light works, but the cigarette lighter does not work and neither does the clock work. I bought this Ranchero out of an estate. And you can tell it was his pride and joy. He won many trophies with this beautiful truck. I did not get a single trophy, but I saw them.
I assume this is the original 292 Ford-Y-Block engine, but I'm not totally sure it runs great. It has a Mannert performance intake made strictly for this engine. You can go on YouTube and find a video about this manifold. It has a Holley Sniper EFI fuel injection setting on top of the Mannert intake manifold. And if you look at the photos, you'll see that it's all brand new. Red's premium headers are installed on this 292 engine. The engine compartment looks very good just like the rest of the truck.
I do not know if the truck bed has been restored or if it is totally original and it's painted with black rhino liner. It looks great. I did see some small denting in the rear window chrome strip things hitting it from being loaded into the back of the bed over the years. Otherwise, this truck looks really good. The chrome bumpers are probably original. They look good, but there are some issues with the chrome to be shown.
The underside looks good. We did not find any rust or rust repair, so we believe that this is a rust-free truck. I'm going to try and find out some history on it. There are a couple of questionable areas in the rockers that look like they've been worked on a little bit, but we really can't tell for sure.
