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.
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.
