1958 Edsel Ranger
Hello,
I don't know if this is the place to ask but I wanted to know if anyone knows what a 1958 Edsel Ranger would be worth today. I found one in my local "Auto Trader". But all the ad said is that it has a rebuilt 400 engine, and the asking price is $1,500 (CAD). To me this price is too low. I don't want to travel 4 hours and find out that it's in horrible shape. I have to phone the seller on saturday. Do you guys think this could be a fixxer upper? Also how hard would it be to find parts to fix it up? Anyone know? Thanks |

This might give you some calibration and answer some of your other questions: http://www.edsel.com/pages/for_sale.htm > it has a rebuilt 400 engine The abovementioned page says that the smaller of their two engines was designated E-400, after its foot-pounding torque. Displacement in cubic inches was 361. This of course assumes that it's the original Edsel engine, not the much later M-Block (which if properly built wouldn't be a bad choice for such a car if you were going to do a swap): http://home.earthlink.net/~bubbaf250/index.html These generations of engines look a lot different, and someone swapping in a 70s-80s engine would probably bring the C-6 tranny with it, so you should be able to tell. If it is a 400 M-block, you then get the further exercise of figuring out whether they did a really sweet high-caliber swap or just made a backyard Frankenstein. Best of luck, --Joe |
