1974 Ford Gran Torino Brougham.

This would make a great Starsky & Hutch clone!

Car runs and drives great and would make a excellent daily driver, weekend car, or an easy restoration project.
Has power steering and manual brakes (front discs)
I drove the car approximately 300 miles round trip to Fall Carlisle this year with absolutely no problems, averaging nearly 22 miles per gallon!
I would not hesitate to drive the car  anywhere in the country.

The Good:

-Two door
-Low miles (38,079 as of auction listing)  Mileage recorded on PA title when purchased in June of this year was 35,000 actual miles
-Great interior
-Newer radial tires
-Good carpet ( Lightly Sun Faded)
-Seats are near perfect (small nearly unnoticeable rip at seam on drivers side, approximately 3.5 inches, easily fixed)( See Picture)
-Ashtrays and cigarette lighter NEVER used!
-Chrome and trim in decent condition
-Runs strong
-Paint on upper body mainly Factory original and quite presentable. Orange peel on small section of passenger door and some touch up there(see pictures).
-Lower half of car (below body side trim) has been repainted in factory color (lower part of doors and quarter panels then blended into rear portion of front fenders)
-Part of trunk repainted and blended to match
-Vinyl top presentable. (read more about the vinyl top below)
-Unique antique car (people always stop to look and talk about it)
-Has PA purple antique plates currently
-Original AM radio with FM converter installed under the dash
-Factory chalk marks still visible under the hood as well as factory tags still in place on engine and radiator support
-Trunk is in very nice shape
-Factory original hub caps
-Garage kept much of its life
-Car is a true unmolested survivor!
 
 The Bad
-Sun faded carpet (can be redyed if you desire, it is in good shape) it still looks good.
-Rear bumper has rusted on drivers side and has been covered with chrome tape by previous owner
-Pitting on bumpers
-Vinyl top is not my favorite, would look much better without it in my opinion. I redyed it and previous owner did some work to the portion below the rear window(See pictures).
-Small chips in original paint on hood and wearing thin in spots (it is 40 years old!)


Other:
The hood of the car was wet when the pictures were taken so it has water drops on it
The pictures with the El Camino were taken at Fall Carlisle. Sorry El Camino is already sold
