Cobra Jet Emblem

Image
Here's a little update for this summer.  The grille was painted black with the addition of the Cobra emblem.  Since the car has the 351 4V Cobra Jet factory option, this emblem is a great way to show what is under the hood.  Here is a picture of the new look with a copy of the Marty report showing the Cobra Jet (CJ) engine.

Spring 2024 - New LED lights and 8tracks radio

Image
  For Spring 2024, I installed a vintage LearJet 8 track radio in the car.  The original radio was missing, therefore this one was perfect.  I also took the opportunity to change all the lights to LED for the radio and the dash.  It now looks and sounds fantastic!

 A lot of water has flowed under the bridge since my last post.   Not sure where to start but life definitely got in the way.   Fortunately, the Ford Gran Torino 1972 is still with me and is still my dream car.   I’ll start updating the blog more often as it was such a pleasure to do so.   Now the car is asleep for the winter as you can tell with this storage picture below.   The other picture is with another of my prized possession, which is my giant Ford Excursion.

  In these cold winter days, what else than remembering last July with the Torino in the driveway instead of being the garage. I find it the perfect blend with my late 50's house :)    

Fastback rear end

Here is a quick update regarding the height of the rear end. It was lifted of 1.5" I think it gives the car a rock and roll attitude!!!

You will find below some images from my wedding last September. All the guests were definitely in love with the car. It was a magical day, with a dream wife and a dream car!!

Gramby show 2011

Image
Early this month, I went to the Gramby show here in Quebec. The Torino was a real love story with the public. Everyone kept asking stories about the beast. Also, the transmission C6 is freshly rebuilt. It is without a doubt, the best car in the whole world. Sharp look, fantastic design and historically rich in American racing (Engine: 24h lemans/Body-style: Nascar). In the pictures below, you see me talking about the car and in the second image; you see lots of interest towards my gas tank!!
