Very rare "delete-option" Ranger Six with 223cid, delivers 20 MPG. 72K original miles.
Original Texas car with virtually no rust. 3-speed manual transmission was reconditioned and
the clutch replaced 2K miles ago at a cost of $1500. Motor rebuilt 600 miles ago at a cost
of $4000. I have receipts.
Vintage 1959 Edsel maintenance manual. Entirely original inside. Highly original
overall - still has the factory grease-pen marks in the driver's door jam. The most basic,
non-optioned car you will ever find. This car does not even have an exterior rear-view
mirror. Unmolested, unabused, time-warp machine.
