8 Crate

This casting reworks the mid-1950s style of the Ford Ranch Wagon and limited-production Ford Del Rio into a futuristic mid-engine racer, complete with a cutaway sunroof that exposes the exhaust pipes. It has also been retooled into a panel-delivery variant, and its 2003 Preferred-line turquoise and red releases are especially sought after.
