This blog is about my Ford Gran Torino 1972 sport fastback. Witness this powerful muscle car getting back to life. It is powered by a Cleveland 351/4 Cobra Jet engine.

That gives me a reson to create my facebook. Are there any tips, how much are cars in medium condition (for example, like yours but with working engine and things like sidelamps etc. but can be a bit rotten) to buy from grandfathers?. I mean any model but not so popular among collectors. I see various models on car auctions, but the rust-eaten cars are just too expensive (6000Polish Zloty bout 2000$ for hard eaten, no windows etc and no paint on it Dodge Dart). I very like plymouth roadrunner and chevy Nova. Are thoose cars popular? Im pretty sorry for long comment, but I systhematically check your blog :D
Thanks Volf for the comment. Cars like mine will show up on local classified ads very rarely. But on popular sites which cover the entire nation as eBay, there is some from time to time at fair prices. As for GM or Mopar muscle cars, they are expensive because somewhat very popular. A bit like the Mustang would be for Ford. But Torino's will get there. Mark my words. Better buy fast while this car is still in the shadow.
I have a dilemma. I will re-paint the car with the same color code as soon as possible. But I am thinking about removing the side rims, fill the pinholes, do the new paint and then install a laser stripes kit. I did a rendering with photoshop to give you guys an idea.
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.
