1976 Ford Other

This vehicle has been relisted due to buyer cancelling because of health concerns.
1976 Ford Granada Ghia with a 302ci V8, PB, PS, AM/FM radio and AC. This car is a very clean, solid, never any rust, survivor with original (90%) paint and only 33,970 miles that are documented with receipts, state inspections etc. I've enjoyed it for 14 years and have only taken it to local cruises and shows. It is stored in a climate-controlled garage and always covered. It is located in Norwalk, Oh. but spent most it's life in dry South Carolina as it was sold new from Cross Country Ford in Woodruff S.C. I have never driven it in the rain, and it has never been on salted roads.
Exterior:The body is very straight and solid with most of its original paint. The lower portion (from body side moldings down) has been professionally painted (with chip guard additive) due to stone chips. Being the is paint is 48 years old there are some stone chips and small scratches that have been meticulously touched up with the correct Ford color as shown in the last few pics. All glass is tinted and in near perfect condition. The wiper arms are the original stainless steel. Body side moldings are in excellent shape. The chrome is 70's chrome. Not perfect but very presentable. There is a spot on the rear bumper where the chrome is slightly pealed as shown in the close up pic. Bumper fillers are not cracked and in excellent shape. All rubber bumper moldings are mint. The original vinyl top has held up very well with no signs of deterioration underneath. The spoke wheel covers were added and are in excellent shape with no curb rash. The four original wheel covers will come with the car (see pic of trunk). The tires are Michelin 205/75/R14 with 75% tread left. The underside is as clean and solid as the day it was built.
Interior:The interior is near perfect with no rips or tears. There is a very small mark on the front seat as shown in the last pic (not a hole nor puncture). The dash pad is excellent with no cracks as well as the door panels and, arm rests. All gauges, lights, radio, turn signals work as should. The clock does not work.
Mechanical:This car could be confidently driven anywhere. It runs and drives very well and needs nothing. Over the years I've had it, it has been serviced and maintained well with the following: Fuel tank was flushed and painted, new carb and choke kit, complete tune up items (plugs, wires, fuel filter, cap, rotor, ignition control module), Front brakes (rotors, calipers, pads and bearings), rear brakes including cylinders, rear axle seals, master cylinder, heater core, radiator hoses, A/C was converted to R134, both high-pressure and low-pressure power steering hoses, front stabilizer links, transmission fluid and filter, and NAPA battery.
Misc:The original Owner Warranty Identification Card (protecto-plate) dated in service 9/29/76 is included. Also included is the owner's manual, dealer's brochure, accessories brochure, 1976 Ford model catalog, radio operating manual, 1976 colors catalog, engine shop manual, electrical shop manual, maintenance manual, body manual, and chassis manual.
This car is not perfect, but it is a very clean, straight, low mile, rust-free survivor that is very presentable and shows very well. It runs and drives great. If you have any questions or would like more pics, please let me know. I welcome inspections and third-party inspections.
