292 Ranger V8, Mile-o-matic 2-speed transmission, 3.10:1 axle ratio
Edsel number
717976 manufactured in Louisville, KY on December 31, 1958
Owner:
Mike Frankovich
I hauled it home on April 4, 2004. After installing a coil and carb from a '60 parts
car I already had, the 292 came to life. It actually runs very good. I have since
pulled the radiator and gas tank to get them redone. A new water pump and fuel pump are
to be added, as well as a brake system overhaul.

Notes:
Included with the car was the original window sticker, original sales contract, both sets
of original keys, original title, and the original cancelled checks from when the car was
bought new. The car was sold new at Palmer Lincoln Mercury in Glendale, CA. Both
original dealer license frames are on the car, as well as the 1963 issue black California
plates.
The car has a lot of surface rust, but is still very restorable. There is some cancer
rust in the fenders, but nothing bad. My plans are to make it a nice daily driver.
