******** PLEASE READ THE ENTIRE BELOW DESCRIPTION AND STUDY ALL PHOTOS BEFORE ASKING QUESTIONS *********This Sunset Coral and Colonial White 1958 Rancher Deluxe underwent a body off frame restoration 20 plus years ago, and it has held up very nicelyThe paint still exhibits a very nice shine on a completely rust free body. I have also included a few photos of the underside of the car showing the White finish on the original factory floor pans. The painted frame is also very nice with no pitting. I also have additional under body, and other photos I can send you upon request.This vehicle is powered by, I believe, the original 292 Y block V8 with a Ford Autolite 4V carburetor and dual exhaust with Flowmaster mufflers. It starts instantly and runs and sounds very nice. The transmission is the cast iron 3 speed cruiseomatic and the rear is the indestructible Ford 9" . It also has power steering, which has just recently had the control valve and cylinder rebuilt, power drum brakes, and electric wipers. The alternator has also recently been replaced.The chrome including bumpers, emblems, trim, and door handles are excellent.The front bumper was replaced shortly after I received the car due to an incident which happened during transporting the car to me, and at the same time both turn signal surrounds were slightly creased, which is visible in the 7th and 8th photos. I did purchase a very nice pair to have re-chromed and replace them, but then decided not to, because the slight damage is not real noticeable. I will include the two extra ones with the car, and also I have a new complete set of the gold anodized aluminum side inserts that will come with the car. They probably were not available at time of restoration. All the stainless steel trim has been polished. The 15 X 6" front and 15X8" American polished 5 spokes are very nice. Tires are like new 215/65 front and 255/60 rear. The windshield and two side windows appear to have been replaced, and in excellent condition. The rear window is excellent and original with the Ford script, and the vent widows are also original, but have some light bubbling around the edges.The beautiful interior was professionally redone just before I purchased it. The newly upholstered power seat is from a later model Ford Crown Victoria and fits like it belongs there. I believe the white surfaces of the seat is leather. last year I restored the original steering wheel, and the speedometer cluster. It has an amplified after market sound system, which was installed in 2013 with receipts for over $400.00, but the stock Ford AM radio is not a functional unitI have additional photos, including the underside of car, You can e-mail me and let me know what you would like to see, or if you have questions.This is a very nice and somewhat rare vehicle, as less than 9000 Rancheros were produced in 58. It is painted in the typical 2 tone paint scheme like many of the 50's era cars, that stands out from others, and attracts favorable comments and smiles from people at shows and cruises I have taken it to. It is not perfect, but for a 20 plus year old restoration on a 62 year old car, I believe it is in outstanding condition, but like most other cars listed on E-bay It is being offered for sale in AS IS condition with no warranties or guarantees expressed or implied, so I invite and encourage anyone with a serious interest in the car to ask questions or possibly make a personal inspection, and as I previously indicated.
