1974 Ford Gran Torino Sport.

Car runs and drives great and would make for a wonderful daily driver, weekend car, or an easy restoration project. I'll breakdown the rest for easy reading.

The Good:

-Two door
-Garage kept
-No rust
-Low miles (78,000)
-Great interior
-New tires
-New alternator
-Brand new carpet
-Interior is near perfect
-Chrome is all there and in great condition
-Runs strong
-Does not require smog
-Paint is good and original (one problem area on hood, see pictures)
-No peeling or damage to the vinyl top (read more about the vinyl top below)
-Unique classic car (people always stop to look and talk about it)

The Bad:

-There's some surface rust on the left hand side of the hood (see pics). Luckily the hood comes off easy so if you choose to repaint it it won't cost much. If you are handy you might elect to do it yourself.
-There's a small ding on the right fender lip. It's subtle and would be an easy fix. (see pics, but it's hard to make out)
-Slight paint discoloration where an old bumper sticker used to be. (see pics)

Other Info:

The vinyl roof is in great condition and has been properly taken care of, however if you would rather have a hardtop you are in luck, because  the conversion is supposedly simple, however I can not say for certain, as the vinyl has never been replaced or removed.

I've read testimonials saying that once you remove the vinyl that it's just a matter of removing the glue and then you are good to go, and I've read others that say that the top will need paint afterward. I guess Ford did the vinyl tops differently over time. There's a few Torino and Starsky and Hutch fan sites on the web that may be able to further assist you if you decide to do the conversion.

Other:

Car is for sale locally and I reserve the right to cancel the auction early.

You can make an appointment to come see the car, just need a days notice.

I check my mail frequently, so feel free to ask any questions at any time.

Won't ship the car for you, but will work with shippers if you decide to go that route. 

Payment:

Cash, credit card, wire, or Paypal.



Thanks for looking, happy bidding!

New UAW boss Williams talks tough, vows 'no more concessions'

Sun, 08 Jun 2014

Dennis Williams, the newly elected president of the UAW, had some tough words for American automakers in his inauguration speech at the 2014 UAW Convention, striking down the possibility of any additional concessions from the 400,000-strong union.
"No more concessions. We are tired of it. Enough is enough," Williams said during his speech. UAW employees have not received a raise in nearly 10 years, according to Reuters.
Considering the recent strong results for Ford, Chrysler and General Motors, the union's demands are likely to carry a bit more weight in next year's negotiations. And considering Williams' tough stance, we could be in for some fireworks once negotiations commence.

Chris Harris checks out Ken Block's Hoonicorn '65 Mustang

Thu, Dec 4 2014

Ken Block's Hoonicorn, which stars in Gymkhana Seven, might still bear a passing resemblance to a vintage 1965 Ford Mustang, but underneath the skin, the car is one of the baddest custom machines to ever do a smoky burnout on the road. The ever enthusiastic British auto journalist Chris Harris is now showing what really makes Block's new ride tick on video, and Harris even gets to go for quite a ride. The only Mustang components really left on the Hoonicorn are the A-pillar, B-pillar and roof, according to Harris. Everything else is ditched to create Block's ultimate Gymkhana tool. The 845-horsepower, 6.7-liter Rousch Yates V8 sits behind the front axle, and the grunt is routed to all four wheels through a Sadev gearbox usually found on Dakar Rally vehicles. The whole drivetrain is packed with cool little touches; like that giant handbrake that also disconnects power from the front wheels when in use. The superlatives about the Hoonicorn could go on forever, but settle in and let a very excited Harris tell you about just some of them. He's like a kid in a candy store here, and the look that combines surprise, fear and joy during his ride with Block is the kind that lacks a suitable word in the English language.
