Ok, I just came back from the storage where my car is kept.  I took the 8 spark plugs out and they were all black and corroded!!!  I am sure they have not been changed for many decades.  Well, I took them off to spin the engine.  Unfortunately, the engine is jam.  I guess after 20 years sleeping, it's not something surprising.  But I did filled the spark plug holes with WD-40 and I will try again in a couple of weeks to see if it spin.  If not, my garagist will unjam it manually so I dont bust my starter.

Here is a picture of the Cleveland when I bought the car and another picture after cleaning the surface dust.

I will keep you posted about the engine's problem.
Stay tuned   d^_^b

 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.
