HIGHLIGHTS: 292ci V8 engine paired with a column-shifted 3-speed
manual transmission RUNNING PROJECT - Complete Trim & V8 Rumble
Holley carburetor and aluminum radiator BODY OVERVIEW: Let's be
clear: this Edsel isn't winning any beauty pageants today. The
coral and white paint is a bit tired but there is still charm there
in this 65-year-old survivor. The value is in the trim: ITS ALL
THERE! For an Edsel, the chrome and emblems are the hardest parts
to find, and this car is complete. This Edsel Ranger carries all
the unmistakable styling cues that make it one of the most
distinctive cars of its era. PAINT CONDITION OVERVIEW: This is a
""10-footer"" that looks great from across the gas station but will
show its age up close. This is the perfect specimen for a Rat Rod
build or a full strip-and- paint. The coral and whiteare true
Americana colors of the 1950s and perfect for the person looking
for a car with a bit of personality. INTERIOR CONDITION OVERVIEW:
The black and white interior is a perfect complement to the
exterior. It appears largely original and shows normal wear
expected for a classic of this age. There are some split seams,
etc. which are shown in the photos. The seats, door panels, and
dash all present, and much like the exterior trim, being present is
half the battle. For a driver-quality vehicle, the interior is
adequate. MECHANICAL OVERVIEW: Most lower priced Edsels are ""barn
finds"" that don't turn over. This one runs, drives, and sounds
mean. It has a 292 V8 that fires up easy, a Holley carb that's
dialed in, and an aluminum radiator to keep it from overheating.
The dual glasspacks give it a rowdy, aggressive sound that gets
more attention than a fresh paint job ever could. WHAT YOU'LL LOVE
ABOUT THIS CAR: It's an affordable way to own a truly unique piece
of automotive history. Odds are very low that you'll park next to
another one of these! The styling is unmistakable, and the
smooth-running V8 makes it a pleasure to drive. WHAT YOU MIGHT HATE
ABOUT THIS CAR: If you're looking for a fully restored showpiece,
this Edsel isn't there. It's a great driver but not a show-quality
restoration. DOES IT NEED ANYTHING? It's a running and driving
project. You've got no lights, no wipers, and no gauges. It's a
""daylight-only"" cruiser right now. If you're looking for a car to
drive home 500 miles tonight, this isn't it. If you're looking for
a solid-running foundation that you can finish electrically and
mechanically while you enjoy the ""rough and tumble"" look, you
found it. WHAT BUYER IS LOOKING FOR THIS CAR? This is for the guy
who wants an Edsel he doesn't have to be afraid to scratch. It's
for the builder who wants to spend their budget on the ""go""
instead of the ""show."" It's a running, driving, loud, and proud
piece of iron that needs a owner who isn't afraid of a little
grease and some wiring diagrams. Contact Rare Rides Company at
