1958 Ford Ranchero 6 Cyl 3 Spd Original Restored Daily Driver Pu 58 on 2040-cars

     Up for bid is an all original 1958 Ford Ranchero. With less than 1,000 miles on the original motor that was rebuilt in late 2006. Nothing except a tow bar pins that were added is modified from original. All the brakes, steering, wiring  and chassis components were restored in 2006. Both front brake cylinders were rebuilt last month because one showed signs of leakage.  The Holley one barrel carb was rebuilt this last June. And, is intact with the see thru float bowl. This car has a gorgeous interior restoration that was done in 2008. This rig has the 213cc 6 cylinder with a 3 speed manual transmission. Originally bought new by Montana State University. And sold to us in 1969. It sat inside until 2005 when we started getting it restored. Comes with a clear Montana title. I'm looking for a home that appreciates these ole classics. This is the first of several cars that will be auctioned from this estate. It runs and drives great. Good tires and battery. This rig has been driven just enough to keep it maintained over the years. We take it to a couple local car shows every year. And, to church and the store once in a while. The odometer shows 29,712 miles. We expect the chassis actual  miles may be closer to 129K. When this listing starts it will only be driven for test drives of potential owners until sold.
