1958 Ford Ranchero Customline

Description for Ford Ranchero 1958

From a time when rocket styling, generous bright work, and honeycomb grilles were the rage, this pristine Ranchero 66b Custom 300 is one of only 8,479 ever produced.

A solid California car that was brought to Asotin, Washington during a move, the previous owner began the restoration 30 years ago and it was never completed. My partner and I purchased this vehicle as a lot, along with 2 1958 Ford Sunliner convertibles and a lifetime collection of 1958 Ford parts.

Since we purchased this vehicle it has received a meticulous frame off, nut and bolt restoration. No expense was spared bringing this lovely car back to better than new condition. This vehicle is numbers matching, original color, original interior, flawlessly restored, in number one condition, fresh and never driven.

We welcome any inquiries as to specific questions regarding the work that was done on this vehicle and any purchase considerations. Over 300 pictures are available of every step in this complex process.
