Normal 0 false false false MicrosoftInternetExplorer4 Hi I am listing for sale my 1973 Ford Gran Torino Sport. This car is a fastback equipped with the 351 cleveland 2v and fmx tranny. When I got this car it was definitely an eye sore, but I saw the potential in it and decided to restore it. I did not restore it to all original, but in my opinion it is a great 70’s muscle car. I will list what has been done to the car below. Engine: Bored .030 over with Keith Black pistons, Heads port matched to intake and built by Ed Hale machine in Lakeside, CA., Weiand xcellerator intake, Edelbrock 750 carb, comp cams K32-224-4 cam and lifter kit, Harland Sharp roller rockers( kept stock 1.73 ratio), Hedman Headers, Electric cooling fan, dual exhaust, points eliminator kit and coil. Transmission: Built with shift kit and race clutches, High stall torque converter by Dalenzie Torque converters (stock stall converter included with the sale of the car) Rear end: Ford nine inch, 3.50 gears with Auburn Pro posi Suspension: New front upper and lower ball joints, new control arm bushings front and rear, new shocks, steering box rebuilt. Body: New quarter panels and doors , Color 1969 mach 1 black jade, black racing stripes, Complete new weather stripping for entire car. New wheels and tires. Interior: New carpet kit, Seats reupholstered by Jims auto upholstery, New dash top, new headliner. That pretty much sums up what has been done to the car. The body work is pretty good. You can see a few flaws in it, but overall this car is a real sweet looker. The car runs great and is real quick. It shifts pretty hard due to the shift kit. It also shifts high because of the high stall converter. As I said above I will include a stock stall converter with the car in the sale. Right now it is set up a bit more strip than street, but it’s a blast to drive. The car has no climate control. It came to me that way and I did not feel I wanted to put the money into restoring that part of the car. Also there is no stereo. It has been a fun project, but now that it is done I am looking to find another project. Now for the bad, don’t worry its not much. The headliner is new, but it is a bit wrinkled. I installed it myself and I can assure you I will never try it again. The drivers window glass has some scratches. The speedometer works intermittently( I think it’s the cable, but it has a good set of gauges and a new gear on the cable). Small dent in the rear bumper. Trunk does not line up perfectly with the rear end will be pictured. Wipers do not work. Power is not getting to the motor so it should be the switch. I never take it out in the rain so it has never been an issue. Finally the last problem is the shifter is stiff. It goes into gear perfectly, but the shifter is stiff. I am guessing it is a cable issue, but I did not feel the need to get a new one. So that is basically it. This car is not perfect but it is a sweet looking car with a bunch of power. Sounds great and will definitely turn heads. I have tried to be as honest as possible about the car, but feel free to email with any questions you might have. I will respond as fast as possible. Also if there are any specific pics you want just let me know. Thanks for looking Brendan $1000.00 deposit required via paypal within 48 hours of auction close.
