New addition!!! (1957 Ford Ranch Wagon 2DR)

I just bought a 1957 ranch wagon!!! Scored her for $1800 bucks. I spent $250 on all new brakes and now she runs and drives perfectly. Woo hoo!!Heres some pics (click)...

 

$1800.00???? SCORE! It was a GIFT!

 

Nice score! Any idea on production numbers? I know of one in the bush.Although trashed I,m gonna scoop the rear diff out of it.Cool ride for an investment of only 2 grand....

 

Damn that was cheap, and fully roadworthy with just brakes? Who says old cars are getting too expensive? Seems to me that the deals are out there now!

 

yeah' it'll be perfect for trailering your "lakester" to the shows!!!!

 

I have always liked those,...... and the custom 300 and the sedan delivery's
Actually I just really like 57 Fords,...... great score !

 

Whatta score! Those 2dr Ranch long roofs are probably my fav. long roof. You did good!

 

at least someone was able to get a reply from that seller,sent him a dozen emails, looked too good to be true was thinking it was a scam,, nice score!!!

 

Congrats on the steal you made!!! Ain't nothin' like rollin' in a wagon....

 

its a long story, but in short.....the owner of the car passed about a year ago, and the family put the car up for sale when they didnt really want to sell it in the first place. thats probably why you received no response. I was friends with the owner, and the family was happy to see the car go to someone that knew him.

 

hahahaha......that was waaaay too easy to fire you up.


how do you think a set of billet wheels will look on the dodge?? maybe some fuzzy dice and tweed upholstery too? hahah.

 

I have four good doors if you want to convert it to a mordor

 

Congrats!!! Great find. Very nice and no crap a gift.

 

So why is the tow-truck driver bored?

 

Get serious! You didn't buythat thing, you STOLE it!...nice catch, Bud! ANY 2 door wagon (or long-roof as they're called) is WAY cool!

 

heres an update.......got the cars emblems shaved, painted (good ol' rustoleum quarts) and looooowwwww. dig em.

 

looks bad ass now. awesome

 

Wutcha think??? Too far gone? Damn kids have to ruin everything.....Its mine for the taking though.I want that 9 inch diff!

 

Production figures

1957 Del Rio wagon, 2 dr, 6 pass, 46,105

 

Ford Ranchwagons are so cool and so overlooked....Hey Arkiehotrods do you have production numbers for 53 Ranchwagons?

 

that picture is very hard to look at.

 

Is the grill worth saving? Canadian '57 grills are sorta cool/different.

 

I think the blue wheels should stay, different is good.

 

hey are you selling that thing? though I saw it for sale ?

 

definitely keeping the wheels blue.

 

man that wagon would look good hauling all my surf boards

 

Here's a link to a picture of my Ranch Wagon.

Ranch wagons are cool, and it looked like a really nice project! Stance is nice, but I would'nt call the flat black paint & that "stuff" on the headlights an improvement though...

 

Want to sell it?

 

2 door wagons are so cool

Hey Arkiehotrods do you have production numbers for 59 Ranchwagons?
