gofasttoday Posted July 26, 2015 Share Posted July 26, 2015 Just bought a 1960 four door hardtop ranger it looks like there were only about 150 of these made.Are they worth a lot or not?The car has 45 k miles Looks like someone repainted it at some time.Any info would be helpful.

Bleach Posted July 26, 2015 Share Posted July 26, 2015 You could use this as a reference. The low mileage could add some additional value but this guide doesn't account for it.Sadly low production doesn't always command more value.http://www.collectorcarmarket.com/collector-car/prices/1960-edsel-ranger-value.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gofasttoday Posted July 30, 2015 Author Share Posted July 30, 2015 Thanks Someone will love it or might just make aq low rider out of it ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bleach Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 Anymore photos of it? Personally I think they looked much better than the '60 Ford.I really hope no one makes a lowrider out of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gofasttoday Posted July 31, 2015 Author Share Posted July 31, 2015 I'm not sure yet. It Needs the gas tank cleaned. It was on the road in 1996 for a few days but sat since.going to pull the tank this weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bleach Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 Should be easy.I'm hoping this thread will have lots of updates. I really like the 60 Edsels. My aunt and uncle had one. I think they bought it new but sold it a number of years later. They lived in the Providence, RI area at the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gofasttoday Posted August 1, 2015 Author Share Posted August 1, 2015 Got the tank off lots of rust on the inside but the tank looks new on the outside.Will try to get it steam cleaned Monday then sealed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeff_a Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 Some Edsels had V-8s(292, 361), some had sixes(223 Cu. In.). What does your "new" Edsel have? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gofasttoday Posted August 3, 2015 Author Share Posted August 3, 2015 Looks to be a 292 v8 auto. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gofasttoday Posted August 4, 2015 Author Share Posted August 4, 2015 (edited) Gas tank was worse then it looked .I put a Galaxie tank in seems to run good now. Edited August 4, 2015 by ford40 (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bleach Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 I'm sure a lot of parts from a 60 Ford will interchange. Looks like you have some good progress.The engine is a 292 with a two barrel carb, or at least that what the code W in the vin indicates.The T is Sherwood Green Metallic and the trim 23 is for Green Vinyl and Brown Pebble cloth. It's hard to tell if the seat material is original in your photo.You car was built 10/02/1959 and has a 3.10:1 axle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John_S_in_Penna Posted August 23, 2015 Share Posted August 23, 2015 (edited) Shipping coast-to-coast by a reliable company need notbe an impediment if there's a car you want far away. Just factor the shipping cost into your offering price.Enclosed transport by a reliable carrier such asPassport Transport is about $2000-2500 for such a distance, I found. I have done it. Nice Edsel, by the way! Edited August 23, 2015 by John_S_in_Penna (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bleach Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 Sorry but I'd prefer to use the 2.5K on a car itself then blowing it on transporting. That's why I try to limit my searches locally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

58Edsel Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 FYI your car has a 60 Ford front bumper on it. Still a nice car! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bleach Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 FYI your car has a 60 Ford front bumper on it. Still a nice car!I totally missed that. I thought it looked a little unusual in the front view Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gofasttoday Posted August 28, 2015 Author Share Posted August 28, 2015 Some one else said that.They say that when they ran out of something they used the ford parts but I don't know Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John_S_in_Penna Posted August 28, 2015 Share Posted August 28, 2015 (edited) Some one else said that.They say that when they ran out of something they used the ford parts but I don't know The factory would not have used a Ford bumperas a substitute for an Edsel bumper. Since the fit isnot right, no dealer or owner would have accepted it.It's more likely that, rather than the factory runningout of something, an owner ran INTO something!

gofasttoday Posted September 1, 2015 Author Share Posted September 1, 2015 (edited) Edsel is on its way to Mississippi with the new owner.He has 7 other Edsels Didn't seam to mined the bumper that I pointed out.

John_S_in_Penna Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 Good to hear you found a reliable buyer--and a dedicated Edsel hobbyist too!It was encouragingly honest of you,Mr. Ford40, to point out the bumper to the buyer.If he has that many Edsels, he may havea spare bumper or know where he can get one.
