Notes:
Needs full restoration but useable as is.  Runs and drives but is getting a rebuilt 292 engine as of March 23, 2004

The repaint has almost washed off back to the silver.  Slight rust in the right rear dog leg below the rear door and along the back bottom edge of the wheel opening.  Trunk floor has rust but appears to be salvageable.  Floor of car is almost perfect and still has the original silver paint covering most of the area.  Front fenders are rust free.

This car is receiving a '57 Ford 292 until I rebuild the original motor.  The car as planned will be used to attend club functions while I finish restoring '60 Edsel #703193.  The restoration of this car is a few years off but will once again be Cloud Silver with a Polar White roof.

Condition:   Drives, but needs restoration
Originality:   unknown

Notes:
The car currently runs and drives and most everything is functional.  It will need total restoration of all components if you are looking for a show car.  The body is in very good overall condition, but does have a couple of very small rust areas of the rocker panel area and the trunk pan has some rusted out holes in the low spots.  The floor pan is excellent with most of the original paint still on it.

The 292 engine is tired but still runs.  It has a tendency to smoke a little when first started.  The transmission shifts excellently.  The interior is original and the cloth inserts in the seats have deteriorated.  Most of the chrome is in very good original condition, and the pot metal parts have a very minimal amount of pitting.  It is missing the side letters on both rear quarter panels and the front fender Ranger scripts, all of which were removed when the car was painted in the mid-1970's.

The original color was Cloud Silver with White top.  It was painted Turquiose Metallic over the silver, and the top is still the original paint.  This was originally a Colorado car that was licensed in Arizona up until two years ago.  A very straight car that would make a relatively easy restoration candidate.
