Description:

1973 Ford Torino

LISTING ONE 1973 FORD GRAN TORINO. WAS PAINTED UP TO LOOK LIKE THE TV CAR FROM THE SHOW. RUNS AND DRIVES GREAT, STRONG 351 CLEVELAND WITH AUTO TRANS.
I BOUGHT THE CAR FROM A WOMAN IN 2004 IN ARIZONA, HAD IT SHIPPED HERE. IT DID HAVE SOME BODY WORK DONE BEFORE I BOUGHT IT, SO THIS IS NO SHOW CAR. REPLACED THE FRONT GRILL TO LOOK MORE LIKE THE TV CAR, HAD IT PAINTED RED/WHITE AND HAVE HAD A BLAST WITH IT. VERY FUN CAR TO DRIVE-GETS A LOT OF ATTENTION.
THE BAD NEWS- DOES NEED SOME WORK. TRANS PAN GASKET LEAKS WHEN IT SITS OVER LONG PERIOD OF TIME ( WE FOUND THIS OUT WHEN WE STORED IT ) AND YOU MIGHT WANT TO GET THE VALVE COVER GASKETS REPLACED AS OIL WILL LEAK A LITTLE AND SMOKE WHEN IT HITS THE ENGINE.
SOME GREAT NEW- CAR DOES HAVE A CHROME DUEL EXHAUST SYSTEM- AND LOOKS GREAT.
ITS BEEN STORE IN CLIMATE CONTROL SHOWROOM-HAS NOT SEEN WINTER-ONLY TAKEN OUT ON NICE DAYS.
REASON ITS GOING- I DON'T DRIVE IT ANY MORE, AND JUST DON'T HAVE THE TIME TO WORK ON IT. IM NO MECHANIC AND UNLIKE SOME CAR GUYS, I DON'T ENJOY WRENCHING FOR FUN. IT NEEDS A NEW LOVING HOME. I DID JUST INSTALL A NEW FUEL PUMP LAST WEEKEND... FYI.
ANY QUESTIONS, PLEASE FEEL FREE. I WILL HELP WITH TRANSPORTATION AS MUCH AS I CAN BUT ITS WINNERS RESPONSIBILITY TO MAKE ARRANGEMENTS WITH A TRANSPORT COMPANY.
300.00 DEPOSIT WITHIN 48 HOURS OF AUCTION END.
PLEASE NOTE- MEMORABILIA DOES NOT COME WITH THE CAR. NO SIREN, NO PROPS. ( WE DO HAVE THE RED LIGHT IF WINNER IS INTERESTED )
THE CAR HAS BEEN IN SEVERAL LOCAL CAR SHOWS CONVENTIONS AND AUTOGRAPHED BY ACTORS FROM THE SHOW AND MOVIE.
BRANDE RODERICK & FRED WILLIAMSON FROM THE MOVIE SIGNED THE TRUNK, AS DID ANTONIO FARGAS AKA HUGGY BEAR AND DON PEDRO COLLEY ( FROM THE VOOD DOO ISLAND EPISODE.)
ANY QUESTIONS, PLEASE FEEL FREE TO ASK.
CAR IS TO BE LISTED LOCALL, SO AUCTION MAY END EARLY IF SOLD.
also- even though the car is signed, im not using the signatures as a selling point- i will remove them if the winner requires them gone.
please look over the pictures, i installed bucket seats and took out the bench, added the center console and after market radio with speakers ( great sound )
some of the chrome molding has dents ( not my doing-got it that way ) and had intentions on replacing but those are hard to come by-new or used. just want the potential bidders/winner to understand this is not a show car, but has a lot of potential for the right person who wants to restore/rebuild a very nice car.
I LISTED THE MILEAGE OFF THE SPEEDOMETER - IM GUESSING THAT IT HAS GONE OVER ONCE FOR A CAR BEING 44 YEARS OLD.
