1973 Ford Gran Torino Sport

Here is the history about this amazing car.  In 1973 my grandfather saw this very Gran Torino Sport spinning on a car display at a Ford dealership in Portland Or. He just had to have this car and promptly bought it as his retirement present to himself. After driving it a few years his health declined, and he gave this Torino to his son, who was my father. I vividly remember being driven all over Portland in the 80’s in this car as I was growing up. For years my father would

take this car to local car shows in Portland, and he had a few trophies that he proudly displayed. Unfortunately, my father’s own declining health led him to doing the same thing, bestowing this car to his son, me. I have had this wonderful car the last few years, up in Montana. I actually drove it here. It was an amazing, smooth 1k ride from Portland. Today, I still love this car.

But as life has it, I am needing to choose between this project, or our 1956 Ford F100, which we also have a rich family heritage with. Unfortunately resources, space and time only go so far, and we would rather see someone love and restore this great car back to top condition than to see it sit, and slowly decay away. 

HERE IS WHAT YOU GET

The Torino is a mechanically sound driver, ready for full restoration. It is all here. But She has issues here and there. What do you expect from a 51 year old car, right?  

• Nice magnum wheels with good tires (see pics).
• She needs paint. The old clear coat is peeling in places (see pics). A few dents.
• She also has some rust (front fender and lower door surface rust) see pics.
• She needs interior redone (see pics) the old vinyl is cracking on the front seats, and the dash. Package shelf has faded in the sun. 
• Rebuilt original motor (Ford 400 ) with 20k on it.
• 137,811 original miles.
• With 4bbl Holly and Edelbrock intake (Original manifold comes with the car if you want it to be original).

The Torino is currently being offered for 12k cash. No low ball offers please.

If the car doesn’t sell for that, we will find a way keep it, eventually finishing her off to original condition and keep her for my son. I'm good with that.

If you are interested, and would treat her right, email us at j.stuthard@gmail.com or FB messenger.

Thanks for looking,
