Striking coral and white two-tone paint with a black and white interior
Dual exhaust for a throaty, vintage rumble
Holley carburetor and aluminum radiator
BODY OVERVIEW: This Edsel Ranger carries all the unmistakable styling cues that make it one of the most distinctive cars of its era. As with any car that hasn't seen a full restoration, there are imperfections to be found, but nothing that detracts from the original beauty of this Edsel. As anyone experienced with a unique marque such as this will know, one of the most important aspects is the trim and emblems, all of which are present on this vehicle.
PAINT CONDITION OVERVIEW: The coral and white two-tone paint job gives this Edsel a fantastic presence. While not a show-quality finish, it has a nice shine and looks great cruising down the road. Buyers expecting a driver-quality vehicle with street presence will be pleased!
INTERIOR CONDITION OVERVIEW: The black and white interior is a perfect complement to the exterior. It appears largely original and shows normal wear expected for a classic of this age. There are some split seams, etc. which are shown in the photos. The seats, door panels, and dash all present, and much like the exterior trim, being present is half the battle. For a driver-quality vehicle, the interior is adequate.
MECHANICAL OVERVIEW: Under the hood, the 292ci V8 fires up smoothly and runs strong. The column-shifted 3-speed manual transmission shifts without issue, making for an engaging driving experience. For a car of this size, and something never intended to be a muscle car, this Edsel is surprisingly rowdy and a total blast to drive! Many mechanical components appear to have been recently replaced, which certainly explains why operating this car is as smooth as it is. The aluminum radiator helps keep things cool, while the Holley carburetor ensures crisp throttle response. Last but not least, dual glasspack exhaust lets the 292 breath and gives this thing a VERY satisfying rumble.
WHAT YOU'LL LOVE ABOUT THIS CAR: It's an affordable way to own a truly unique piece of automotive history. Odds are very low that you'll park next to another one of these! The styling is unmistakable, and the smooth-running V8 makes it a pleasure to drive.
WHAT YOU MIGHT HATE ABOUT THIS CAR: If you're looking for a fully restored showpiece, this Edsel isn't quite there. It's a great driver but not a show-quality restoration.
DOES IT NEED ANYTHING? There are a variety of items that are not working, as typical for a car that hasn't seen a full restoration, but nothing to prevent you from hopping in this Edsel and cruising today! Please see the Does It Work checklist at the bottom of this ad for details.
WHAT BUYER IS LOOKING FOR THIS CAR? This Edsel is perfect for the enthusiast who wants something different from the usual classic car offerings, without emptying their bank account. It's for someone who appreciates the quirks of late-'50s automotive design and wants a fun, head-turning driver everyone can enjoy. Whether you're looking for a weekend cruiser or a foundation for future restoration, this Edsel fits the bill!
