~Gran Torino Sport Fastback - Unmolested Survivor~





DESCRIPTION:

Selling this incredible unmolested Torino.. Car has 75,900 miles.
All the paint is original to the car.. never repaired or repainted.
(Extra cost 6F 'Gold Glow' paint..not super rare but uncommon)
Completely stock under the hood.. 351 2bbl, FMX.
A couple very small rust spots between tire and door down low..very minor.
Frame, floors, trunk, cowl, door seams, hood seams etc are all great.

Interior is amazing.. . Never cut for stereo or speakers, even the rear deck looks new.

The tires are recent but raised white letters are correct for the car.
The windshield has been replaced, the rest of the tinted glass is original and in great shape.
The only deviation from stock was the addition of a nice manifold back dual exhaust sytem.

I have not detailed anything on this car..I wanted to present it exactly as found.
Just out of 5 years storage, all I've done is correct a fuel leak at the accelerator pump housing.
I replaced the accelerator pump itself (which is also the gasket) and that cured the leak.

Car runs and drives like new.. no rattles, creaks, squeaks, shudders..just a tight smooth ride.

North Carolina car.. one owner till 1996 when he passed. Car came to New England then and at that time
it had 71,784 on it.. It's been garaged and used occasioanally for cruises and shows.. Now has 75,900 17 years later.

I have a 12 part video series detailing the car if you are interested.
Contact me for YouTube links to the videos.

Known issues:
AC compressor turns freely, and turns on when called for but does not blow ice cold.
Temp gauge not working, including new sender/sensor with car.

Car is a blast to drive, very tight with no rattles or squeaks, responsive throttle, smooth ride.
Turns heads everywhere it goes, you just don't see the fastbacks much anymore.

I’ve included many pictures to help judge condition..but trust me, this is a great find
This car will walk away with survivor class trophies at car shows, its unmolested and fantastic.

There have been, and currently are several nice 72/73 GTS Torinos for sale here on ebay, however not
one of them is an original paint survivor car like this one. This car has nothing to hide, and is the nicest
unrestored Gran Torino Sport I've seen in many years.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Had some requests for more pictures, so here are more pictures..

First, some under car shots.
I have no lift so I had to just hold the iPhone under the car and take a few angles.

This is the passenger side front floor area and transmission crossmember:


.

This is looking under the rear at the gas tank and 9" rear end:


.

This is up under the rear and shows the frame meeting the bumper support area:


.

This is the same view from further back to show the gas tank straps and mounting area:


.

Here's the rear frame rail on the drivers side:


<[> .

Here is the fuel filler behind the license plate:


.

I'm including the 1973 Torino sales brochure and the owners manual (note last time registered was 2008):


.

The 'Sport' page from the brochure and one of the manual pages as well:


.

I'm also including the carb rebuild kit (I only used the accelerator pump when it came out of storage)
The rest of the carb is fine and did not need rebuilding, but this may come in handy in the future.
The small red box is the new temperature sender / sensor I am including as well.


.

Again, thanks for all the interest. I've had several good offers on the car but now that the reserve is met, the auction
will run its course and the high bidder at that time will win this fantastic Torino.
(and whoever that ends up being, will be VERY happy~!

Ford Transit customs ready to work for SEMA

Fri, 31 Oct 2014

Ford's booth at the SEMA Show this year looks to have two, big themes. The Blue Oval is bringing over a dozen takes on the 2015 Mustang to the event, and it's now also announcing five customized versions on the 2015 Transit to join the modded pony cars. Each of the vans shows off a different use for the spacious commercial vehicle, from plush luxury to offroad ruggedness.
You probably don't think of the Transit as hitting the trails, but that's just what the take on the design from the Vegas Off-Road Experience (pictured above) is for. The company gives people the opportunity to drive a desert race truck, and this custom is meant to drive them to events. It should be able to take on the terrain a little better with off-road wheels and tires and fender flares, but inside passengers get serious luxury thanks to a 60-inch LED TV and video game systems.
Alternatively the blazing red Designed Travel Transit (right) is all about long road trips. The interior features four captain's chairs with heating, cooling and massage functions, and there's a 4K 50-inch TV to watch. For a touch of added class, the floor is made from hickory.

Ford's first PHEV in Europe could be C-Max

Fri, Oct 17 2014

Ford could start selling a plug-in hybrid in Europe pretty soon, according to at least one of its executives. Whether it's willing to do so is another story. But if the market perks up, so will the company. The automaker can "quickly" develop a plug-in hybrid version of its Mondeo, the sister car to the Ford Fusion, Automotive News Europe says, citing Ford executive Uli Koesters. The subject of Ford selling plug-in hybrids in Europe is more vital than ever since Volkswagen recently started selling its first PHEV (a Golf) there. VW will also debut a Passat PHEV next year. Koesters was less certain about whether there was sufficient European demand to warrant a production PHEV from Ford. Europe's biggest-selling plug-in hybrid through the first half of the year was the Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV. That model, according to JATO Dynamics, moved almost 9,000 units through June. Toyota sold almost 4,300 Prius Plug-in Hybrids in Europe during that time period. And we can't be sure Ford's first European PHEV will be the Modeo/Fusion, either. In fact, Ford's first plug-in hybrid for Europe is more likely to be the C-Max, John Gardiner, a Ford spokesman in Europe, told AutoblogGreen. He would only say that it would be sold "in selected markets soon," without being more specific. Ford's two PHEVs in the US have been selling well this year. Through September, sales of the Fusion Energi PHEV almost tripled to 9,323 units, while Ford C-Max Energi PHEV sales were up 51 percent to 6,486 units.

Buyers ditching expensive European sedans to buy expensive American trucks

Mon, Feb 19 2018

The New York Times ended the automotive week with a story that adds numbers and context to a range of other stories, from the crossover craze to the increasing median price of a new car to ever more grandiose pickup trucks. The NYT piece reveals that the shift to larger vehicles isn't merely about the average U.S. buyer swapping the midsize sedan for a Ford Edge. Luxury buyers are migrating from plush sedans to plush SUVs and trucks that creep close to six-figure prices, and the Detroit Three are running Treasury presses because of it. From 2013 to 2017, the truck category — everything from pickups to minivans — climbed from 30 percent of the market to 41 percent. In January of this year, trucks claimed 66 percent of new vehicle sales. At the milk-and-honey end of profits, GMC alone accounted for 11.3 percent of all vehicle sales over $60,000, not just trucks. That puts the luxury truck maker behind Mercedes-Benz and Ford, The Blue Oval's feasting on Lariat, King Ranch and Raptor versions of the F-150, which make up more than half of that pickup's sales, putting it ahead of Chevrolet, Porsche and Lexus on the high-dollar sales list. The average transaction price of a GMC in Denali trim last year was $56,000; it's easy to see why, when one dealer told the NYT he just swapped a 2012 BMW 550i for a $71,000 GMC Sierra Denali. That truck starts at $52,900. The NYT started its story with a buyer who took home a Ford Raptor instead of an Audi A6, and optioned that $50,020 Ford Raptor close to $80,000. Over at Lincoln, the new $72,055 Navigator — the one so popular that Ford will increase production — crossed hands for an average sale price of $77,000 in January. And a Jeep dealer told the NYT that the two $93,000 Trackhawks he had on his lot "won't be here more than a few weeks." While trucks head up in sales volume and price, cars are headed so viciously in the opposite direction that "the Detroit Three and even some foreign manufacturers acknowledge they are now losing money on many of the cars they sell." So ... get ready for a lot more crossovers and trucks. Related Video: Find out what vehicle is right for you. Give our Car Finder tool a try.
