292 Ranger V8, Mile-o-matic 2-speed transmission, 3.10:1 axle ratio
Edsel number
702010 manufactured in Louisville, KY on October 12, 1959
Owner:
unknown (online auction car)
The engine and transmission are all there and original, but the engine is apparently
stuck. It has not run for at least 15 years. Plan on having to rebuild
everything.
The vehicle is very straight, but will require extensive rust repairs in the trunk
pan, floor pan, and lower rear quarter panels. There is no hidden Bondo and most
of the paint is original except for the hood and deck lid which came off a white
car. You will need a parts car to donate the sheet metal necessary to restore
this car, unless you want to make it into a street rod and don't require originality.
The pot metal is in good condition in general, most pieces have minor
pitting. The driver side turn signal housing was broken, and the passenger side
rear quarter moulding fell off the car and was lost. Both rear quarter panel
letters "L" are missing.
