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.

Fantastic news as the Torino will go for an engine rebuilt in two weeks. The shop will also make sure the mechanics of the car is tip-top. I will post more details and pictures in two weeks.
Thank you Spencer for the comment. I am glad you are enjoying reading my Gran Torino journey. About the parts, it is a mix of Dearborn classic, eBay and Auto Zone sources.
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.
Hey Daniel I've really been enjoying this blog. Say where do you great original Torino parts?
