    Man, thats Cool!!!!
    It's so funny when I go to get gas in my 71, the young people today (in there 20's) don't even know what kind of car it is!

    I proudly reply....It's a Maverick!

    I love stories like that. Reminds me of myself. Although, I'm more interested in your 57 Ranchero, Mavaholic. And I promise my little nephew is willing to do the car with me...

    Don't tempt me Mavaholic. I've been browsing for one for about a year. Is yours a A or B body Ranchero?

    Has the side trim. Its a very old restoration. Outer sheet metal is decent. Rear floors need some work. Paint is old laquer and flaking off in spots. It basically needs a complete restoration but is a great canidate and is complete and running. I really want a 57 2 dr wagon.

    Aw, the ole ranch wagon or courrier. The owner of Ken's Falcon, aka Highway Classics, which was bought out by California Mustang last year, had a very nice rust free 2 dr wagon that he sold for $4500 & that car was worth every dime. I got mad at him for not telling me that the car was for sale. I've got a 63 1/2 260 4 speed Ranchero & I use to buy a ton of parts from him & always drooled on that car in his shop every time I went in. He had owned the car fo over 20 years, although I never saw it on the road. Even out here in California, almost every 57 Ranchero that I see is rusted behind the front seat on the floors. Got any pics of yours?
