MY SECOND TO LAST BARN FIND THIS SUMMERA ONE OWNER 78 Granada 2 door coupeWith 26000 original miles & still has the wooden blocksOn the pedals the grandmother use to be able to drive it.300 cu in straight 6 cylinder engineBench seatOriginal essentially perfect carpeting and interiorAutomatic transmission Taken out of unknown length storage this weekWe started it and drive it a short distance It's about to undergo a detailingThe doors show no sagging and close easilyLights brakes blinkers engine &Transmission are all working. The car was owned from new by an elderly womanWho bought it new at Backus Motors (now defunct)In Stafford Springs, CT A some point she stopped driving & the car was put away inStorage on the property and left there...it's been perhaps 10 years. The glass is good, manual windows all go up and down, it steers drivesAnd brakes fineBut again it's been sitting and of course should hav fluids changed and a tune upBefore long distance usage. On Aug-20-14 at 18:09:32 PDT, seller added the following information: Apparently the person who identified the engine for me made an error, this motor must be a 250 cubic inch straight 6, thanks to a bidder I am making this correction. He also informed me that the car is a Ghia model, it was owned from new by an elderly female and sold at Backus Motors (defunct) of Stafford Springs, CT. The blocks put on the brake and gas pedals are still attached, the car was driven until her passing I am told then put into storage, for how long I am unsure. It actually is in very good condition, the paint is quite shiny and undamaged as is the interior seats, rugs and dash/door panels.
