1957 Ford Ranchero

We are taking this newly painted 57 Ranchero and giving it an updated drivetrain, electronics and interior. The new motor comes from a 2006 Mustang Cobra, mated to an automatic trans and the original 9 inch rearend. Other updates will include Vintage Air AC, power steering with a tilt column, new gauges, power locks and windows, etc.

 

The big 4.6L engine was to wide for the stock framerails, so a section from a 69 Chevelle has been grafted on. I know - Chevy parts on a Ford - but the frame rails were exactly the same size, same track width, etc.

Frame is stripped, cleaned and painted. New suspension is installed, and engine/trans are in place.
