Vehicle Description
***1957 FORD RANCHERO VERY SHARP CUSTOM CRUISER***
***POWERFUL 302 ENGINE --- COLD AC --- FLAMES!!!***
This is a 1957 Ford Ranchero that has been built into a sharp looking custom. It has a beautiful silver paint job set off with red-orange-yellow flames tipped in bright blue. Wheels are Cragar Street Stars with BF Goodrich rubber. You can tell the car has been lowered and it looks great. The interior is custom tweed with tilt wheel, cold air conditioning, power disc brakes and a CD stereo with 6-CD changer under the seat. Interior even has retractable shoulder belts. Engine is a nice running Ford 302 with lots of chrome and polished aluminum. Transmission is a built C-4 automatic sending power to a nine-inch rear. This car runs and drives great. It was built in San Jose and spent its life in California until June 2006. It can be driven anywhere with confidence. The owner is a friend who asked me to list the car/truck because he has too many vehicles and not enough garage space. Email me for his phone number so you can ask any questions or set up a time to see the Ranchero.

It has the right stance and sounds powerful through the Flowmaster mufflers. It has big exhaust pipes and a crossover pipe.
Paint is very glossy - really is an eye catcher. Body is very straight. It was a California vehicle and had very little rust repair done to the body.
Doors open with a remote control. Car is comfy with air conditioning, tilt wheel, power disc brakes and automatic transmission.
