Link to video for phone/tablet users https://youtu.be/Cc5NxWec4fY 1972 Torino Gran Sport Fastback, well optioned with matching # Q code 351 Cleveland 4V Cobra Jet, C6 transmission with 3.25 9” rearend, air conditioning, gauge package with tach, power steering, disc brakes and original Magnum 500 wheels. This is a nice looking, good running and solid car that runs and drives good and is ready to enjoy. It would make a great no guilt driver since it looks good but is not perfect. Originally a California car that has been in Washington for about 5 years.Overall this is a good looking car with a very good body. The body on the Torino is very solid with virtually no rust and no previous rust repairs. The paint is 10 years old or so and still shines with no fading but has chips and touched up spots. I’d call it a 20 footer or better. It was originally Gold but was painted yellow. Body lines are good and the doors open and close very nicely. The only sign of rust is a tiny bit starting around the drain plugs in the rear floor, it is very minor, almost unoticable. The quarters, frame, trunk, doors, trunk drop-offs, floors, etc all look very solid.. There are a few minor dings that are not too noticeable, a couple under the right rear marker light and one in the right door. Also some minor damage behind the left front wheel that is also not too noticeable. There is evidence of bodywork in the right quarter that is noticeable if you look very close. Bumpers are very nice and were rechromed when the car was repainted. Glass is good with no cracks. Magnum 500’s are original and have minor fading and pitting but look good overall. Tires are nearly new 235/60r14’s. Front grill surround is broken in places, the grill trim has a few dings and the grill has a few missing bars in the black area that aren’t too noticeable.The black interior is nice with excellent door panels that have factory speaker grills, nice headliner, carpet and dash. The seats look good but there are a couple splitting seams on the driver’s seat. It currently has an aftermarket stereo. All gauges work including the tach except the gas gauge. Lights, wipers and heater all work. Emergency brake handle is missing but it is fully functional, just need a new release handle which is an easy fix.It has the original matching # (yes vin is stamped on back of block) 351C 4V Cobra Jet that was rebuilt a few years ago and has very low miles. It is mostly stock with original intake and exhaust manifolds and the correct air cleaner with “popper” valve on the side and chrome lid. The engine runs great with no knocks, smoke or noises. The transmission works properly through all gears. The suspension feels good but the steering has some typical play in it. The air conditioning is all there and still hooked up but there is no belt. I will need a recharge and probably some other work to get it functioning again. This car is ready to drive and I wouldn't hesitate to drive it anywhere. There are very few matching # Cobra Jet cars out there and even fewer CJ cars with basically not rust. Get a paint job, laser stripes and some minor work and this car can be worth $30K!Car is sold as is where is with no warranty expressed or implied. It is available for inspection by appointment only. I have done my best to describe it accurately but please understand that this is a 45 year old car that needs some restoration work. International buyers are welcome.
