HELLO. THIS LISTING IS FOR MY 1959 EDSEL RANGER 4DR SEDAN. PEOPLE ARE ALWAYS TELLING ME THAT I SHOULDN'T DRIVE A RARE CAR LIKE THIS FOR WORK, THAT IT SHOULD BE RESTORED. WELL, HERE'S THERE CHANCE. THE MILES ARE ORIGINAL AT 61,670 AND COUNTING SINCE I STILL DRIVE THE CAR. I'VE RECENTLY TAKEN IT ON A 180 MILE ROUND TRIP WITH NO TROUBLES AT ALL. IT'S VERY RELIABLE. THE ONLY TIMES I'M LATE ANYWHERE DRIVING THIS CAR ARE WHEN PEOPLE HOLD ME UP WITH QUESTIONS ABOUT IT. RESERVE IS SET AT WHAT I PAID FOR IT. THE WORK I'VE DONE COUNTS TOWARDS MY USE OF THE CAR AND ANYTHING ELSE IS GRAVY. IT'S EQUIPPED WITH A 292 V8 AND 2 SPEED AUTO TRANS. THE DATA PLATE INSIDE THE DOOR READS: 58D LL 242 10D 3 1 THE GOOD: RECENT ADDITIONS INCLUDE ELECTRIC WIPER UPGRADE, REPAIRED ORIGINAL RADIO, DUAL EXHAUST, ALL STAINLESS STEEL BRAKE LINES AND HOSES, NEW MASTER AND WHEEL CYLINDERS, FRESH TUNEUP AND PERTRONIX IGNITOR IGNITION INSTALLED, NEW FRONT BRAKES, FUEL GUAGE SENDING UNIT REPAIRED, NEW STEERING STABILIZER BUSHINGS, BRAKE ADJUSTER SPRINGS, MOST OF THE INTERIOR IS NEW AND RECONDITIONED. EVERYTHING WORKS, JUST GET IN AND DRIVE. THE BAD: ROCKER PANELS HAVE BEEN REPLACED AND SOME BODYWORK HAS BEEN DONE ON FENDER BOTTOMS, CORNERS OF DOORS, AND REAR WHEEL OPENINGS. COULD USE A PAINTJOB AS THE BLACK IS PEELING SOME ON THE ROOF AND THE ORIGINAL BLUE IS SHOWING. NEEDS NEW REAR WINDOW GASKET INSTALLED WHICH WILL COME WITH THE CAR. PASSENGER SIDE MIRROR IS BROKEN, BUMPERS NEED RECHROMING. SIDE GLASS AND VENT GLASS IS DELAMINATING. THERE IS A SMALL LEAK AT THE TOP OF THE GAS TANK WHEN FILLED ALL THE WAY. I LOOKED FOR IT WHEN I HAD THE SENDING UNIT COVER OFF BUT DIDN'T FIND IT. MANY SPARE PARTS ARE ALSO INCLUDED: REBUILT CARB, NEW STARTER, STARTER DRIVE, 2 FUEL PUMPS, WATER PUMP, REBUILT GENERATOR, AND 2 NEW VOLTAGE REGULATORS. DO NOT BID IF YOU DON'T INTEND TO BUY. DEPOSITS WILL NOT BE RETURNED. SHIPPING ARRANGEMENTS ARE THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE BUYER. I WILL HELP LOAD IF NEEDED. No bidders with less than 5 feedbacks. It just causes too many problems and wastes my time.
