Click HERE for more information about this vehicle.
Offering my 73 Gran Torino Sport. My personal vehicle of the past 10 or 11 years. Over 20k has been put into this car and the reserve is set far below that. I will give the best description I can but if you are looking for a cheap car you can work on and restore..keep looking because this one is pretty much done. It is a turn key and go car ready for your local cruise nights or shows. Although they are never really done this is not something you need to work on..its good to go.(Martin report included)
1st off .body and paint were professionally done over the 2009/2010 winter. Body and paint still look great! This car has no rust no rot no dents no dings no bubbles and no scratches! (Originally a black on black special order color car) Trunk pan and floor pan solid and painted at the time of restoration (photos available of both) Brand new NOS front bumper not a rechrome.
2nd. Interior .black buckets reupholsted a couple years ago. Clean and no rips. Headliner good no rips. Wood grain dash trim. NOS dash pad with no cracks not a cover or overlay. Factory console/shifter. Factory ford sport steering wheel. Door panels all in nice shape. After market stereo and guage panel.
3rd..Drivetrain Professionally built 351 Cleveland upgraded from the factory 266hp Q code to 350hp. Have paperwork from engine shop to reference parts used in the build. Holley carb. Edelbrock aluminum intake. Petronix electronic ignition. New steering pump cant even list everything that was replaced but have a pile of receipts. Full dual exhaust with \"H\" style balancing pipe. Profesionally Btilt C6 street/strip heavy duty transmission with shift kit rated to handle up to 600hp.Shifts nice and firm through all the gears but still drives nice in regular traffic. 9\" factory rear end.235 and 245 BF Goodrich radial T/A tires on aluminum slotted rims.
The engine and transmission were installed winter of 2013/2014 at 82k miles,on the car the car now has 85k miles so your talking around 3k on both engine and transmission. Barely broke in. This car is adult owned (50 years too old) and one and only one driver .me. Never ever abused or beat on just driven about once a week on Fridays to local cruise nights and an occasional weekend show. This has been my project car over the last 10 years gathering endless parts online to get it just how I wanted it.Not a race car. Not a concourse correct car. More what I like to call a day 2 car sort of how I remember them driving around in the mid 70\'s. As I said they are never really done but this is good to go as it sits. A couple things that could be addressed in an afternoon are. Small section of exhaust just off the manifold has been running a piece of stainless flex pipe because of a different manifold being on when the exhaust was made. No leaks or anything just putting it out so there is no surprises. Also .I have a horn button for the sake of getting an inspection sticker. But do have a package of horn parts for the sport wheel to get that back working. Engine bay looks decent but still could use some detailing
This car is not being offered because I no longer want it. It is a great dependable safe car that gets compliments EVERY time I take it out. Great for cruise nights a lot of times its the only Gran Torino in the lot.

Just to be clear the 351 Cleveland in the car is not the same one it came with from the factory. The original block was swapped into a mustang before I bought the car o no I do not have access to the original engine block .
