Here is a photo of the car how I found it on the back roads of Sebastopol, California. ANOTHER AND HERE IS A PHOTO OF ME BRINGING THE CAR HOME ON THE TRAILER.
That looks really clean and all there. Rare car too. Good score I think. I can see that on a set of Astros and pinner whites.
It's funny, I hear about how rare that they are but it seems I see them everywhere. At car events and whatnot. Maybe I am just looking for 'em. Sweet car though.
Edsel.com claims they were only built for a month and Total Production for all 1960 models was : 2,846 Nice score!
You made a great find! There were actually only 777 2dr. 1960 Edsel Rangers produced. Yours is in a lot better condition than the one that's back in a woods near my home here in Ohio.
good score!i always thought those were the better looking Edsel.but like James D said : "I can see that on a set of Astros and pinner whites" & candy paint
It came original with the 292 Y Block and the 2 speed Mile-O-Matic transmission. The motor was stuck so I replaced it with a fresh rebuilt 390 and a 3 speed Cruise-O-Matic. Iv been working on it almost every day for the past 3 months. I replaced every nut and bolt in that thing. It has been alot of work and long days!!..but also fun. I will post pictures of all the progress a little later.

Gee, wish I had help like that! Seems like all the mechanics are avoiding my cad, like its cursed or something.
Oh hell yeah. I was actually looking at a 1960 Edsel Ranger when I found my 58. If I hadnt seen the 58 I would be rolling in that 1960 right now. I can dig it man. Great pictures and keep them coming.

you have done a total transformation on the edsel. It looks as though you are really enjoying it, keep up the good work and post pics as you can.
That's impressive work so far. I didnt see what you used material wise or equipment wise to spray that frame and firewall. I'm about to tear mine apart and I am curious since it looks like yours came out nicely.
