I owned a 57 Ford when I was in highschool. Loved the car except for vacuum powered wipers. FYI I found that a mid 50s Chevy electric wiper motor is a direct replacement. Only requires power wiring. Even the cable from the stock switch works.

They are a beautiful body love them myself thank you

Electric wiper motor is easy to locate for '57-'59 Fords. '55-'57 Chevy used the same electric wiper motor. They were made by Trico as a dealer installed option.

First year for 9inch rearend

There’s 4 57’s setting on 301 south of Rocky Mount, nc

Good luck ❤! Sounds like it’s priced right for a sale 😊

Anyone that loves 57 Ford's is My kinda people!

This is a great car! The naysayers who have commented obviously don’t understand what’s been done to the car. Great patina and fun ride! Nice!!!!

Have a 59 ranchero had 57 ford conv bought with a cb350honda motorcycle for 350$ in the 80s still have a66tbird conv. Dont think valves oiling from the sound

Maybe

He's nuts

No way worth 42k. The 57 ranch wagon was 2 door, much cooler car

Oil the hood hinges please! Add some Marvel Mystery Oil to kill that bad lifter noise

A girl in high school had a 57 Ranchero with a hot rodded T Bird 312V8. . Lake pipes, chromed reversed wheels and baby moons . Badass for sure

One thing for sure it isn’t a woody !

You got it right Welcome to your world You won’t get 42,000 If it was a Fairlane skyline

My parents bought a new 2 door Ranch Wagon in 1957. Between the rust and the rattles he said it was the worse car he ever had. It was traded for a new 2 door Chevy wagon in 1960.

Sir I hate to tell you but the $42,500 for a 57 Ford wagon 6 cylinder 3 speed you better quit dreaming cuz nobody's going to pay that for that 57 buddy I just sold my 29 Coop and I'm 75 years old and only got ten grand for it and it was a brand-new Flathead in it and it was a three-speed nobody in their right minds going to tell you that good luck

Your going to have it another 60 + years at that price,does your house go with it

WOW, ] hope he finds a "serious offer". Looking at maybe 16g from NADA have to take off for rust, paint. Lose value for 6cyl and 3 speed. What ever is wrong with the engine will need fixed also. Hagerty does not "give" him as much. Neat car but 4 door wagons with a 6 and three speed are just not that sought after. Best of luck to him, hope he finds the right buyer.

People have an over inflated value for some of their classic cars ...as time moves on the cars from the 50's are dropping in value, as those from the 30s and 40s already have ...

$40k is what its worth in ground up restoration 7 to 10 grand if you find a stupid buyer . Good luck

He must be out his dam mind what kind of medication he's on

Say what…???? “ $42.500 “ Holy Crap..!!! It could be because I’m 69 years old , and I’m just used to seeing old sleds like this my whole life ! But let’s face it it’s not a two door 57 nomad …😍 It’s a 4 Door, Ford station wagon…! No disrespect intended..🙏🏻 I just don’t see the attraction in it…! ! ! Especially at $42,500 ….😹🙄😹

You might want to paint it before trying to sell it.

Adjust the lifters they never rattled like that! Not even stone cold. He likes that thing more than anyone else. He'll be married to the thing. Congrats

yup, Randalldrake is right. I have never heard a Ford 6 cyl that noisy. it reminds me of my hopped up 289 with solid lifters that I drove back in the sixties.

Actually, if ya'll check the figures, fords outside Chevys in everything in ,57. look it up.

Good grief! That "rebuilt" motor sounds like a wornout sewing machine! Out of time to boot. Owned a number of 223’s. They were quiet smooth runners. Good eng's

I thought you said that you Swapped a diesel engine , I drove all those 57 Ford in my youth. Also when I was 14 years old I worked in a junkyard . We have cars from the 40th 50th and 60th. I can find that 57 wagon for less than 3 thousand right now running great. I watch KZbin for years and one of my pastime is watching junkyard auctions and liquidation. Good luck with your 57 Ford wagon. Prize money is too high. The most you can get is $5,000.💣

Have any advice where to restore my 57 fairlane body and interior In good shape engine needs some minor repairs and cleaning runs well I’m in the chicago area need a fuel pump model #4710 Kh I appreciate your comments and your help.

I bought my 57 Fairlane in 67 for $135. Blew the engine in SC in 70 and towed it out in the woods. Maybe it's still there!!

I think your damn nuts 10000 if you are lucky.😢

Over priced a bit. Hagerty value 1957 Country Squire 292 V8 excellent condition $31,400, good condition 21,100, fair 14,600. Given rust and 6 cyl.10k maybe.

At least its not a chevy, the heartbreak of america, its a ford, you might get it, best wishes

When I was 5 years old , my Dad did advertisement for the Quincy Patriot Ledger. He had me and my 2 sisters in the back with back seat down and the family dog. We set up plastic bowling pins. And the play was so much room in back you can use it for a bowling. The dealership the add was for. Was Jannell Ford on route 18, So. Weymouth Mass. We actually bought one. Was that sorta pink creamy and white 2 tone. Those were the days. I just looked up Jannell. They started in 1921, and are no longer in So. Weymouth , but moved to Hanover MA.

Some crazy rich guy from Europe , or oil rich Sheik , might go for it. Japan even. He be laffing all the way to the bank.

I like the '57 model year but not fond of the Ford inline 6. They were oil burners at 60 thousand miles.

People put real high prices on there car because they really don’t want to sell

LOVE LOVE LOVE FORD WAGONS JUST SOLY 59 TWO DOOR AND ITS KILLIN ME

This clown wants way too much money for this car.

Best not to refer to it as rust free, something I really know about with 57 Fords. Also expect that engine/trans will be changed because its really really boring power in that heavy a car. I see more popular model 57s in that condition being purchased 5-8K around PNW. If it was an F or E model might get near that price.

$3,000.00 at best

I think that the '57 Ford is one of the best looking cars ever made. The Ranchero and Del Rio (2 door wagon) are especially nice, and how can you beat a '57 Fairlane 500 2 door hardtop for looks?

You’ve been sniffing glue if you think you’re going to get over 12 grand for it. I love car things but this is rediculous.

As an old car collector myself, I would never knock your car because I wouldn’t appreciate that myself. I can see that you are very proud of that 57 wagon, as you should be. It is a nice collectible car but with its current body condition, it will take a lot of work and money to get it in a show condition therefore it is between 3 and 4 condition. In reality, if you look at the Old Car Value Price Guide, they are not talking near that much money for that condition. If you are actually serious about selling it, you need to educate yourself about the current value I have owned many old collector cars that were the apple of my eye but when I went to sell it, I found out, to prospective buyers , it was just another old car. Thank you for saving that 57 wagon from the crusher ! Good luck !

All the commenters about the engine noise have never owned one or heard one in person. One the camera makes it sound louder than it is. Two. the 223 is a solid lifter engine with valve clearances no different than a 235 Chevy of that era. They tick. They're supposed too. An occasional routine valve adjustment is normal maintenance for these engines and may be in order post break in on a rebuild. Bet if it was a 70 Boss 302 Mustang or Z28 idling in a video you wouldn't hear anyone flapping about the lifters.

You're DELUSIONAL to get even $20k. Also, if you call that a professional engine rebuild you know nothing about engines. You can hear the lifters out of adjustment!

The very first car I can remember as a child was my parents 57 Ford Fairlane 500 four door hardtop. It was powder blue and even as a little boy I thought that it was something. BTW, I've been a car nut my entire life. That engine was completely rebuilt and it sounds like that?
