~Gran Torino Sport Fastback - Unmolested Survivor~
DESCRIPTION:
Selling this incredible unmolested Torino.. Car has 75,900 miles.
All the paint is original to the car.. never repaired or repainted.
(Extra cost 6F 'Gold Glow' paint..not super rare but uncommon)
Completely stock under the hood.. 351 2bbl, FMX.
A couple very small rust spots between tire and door down low..very minor.
Frame, floors, trunk, cowl, door seams, hood seams etc are all great.
Interior is amazing.. . Never cut for stereo or speakers, even the rear deck looks new.
The tires are recent but raised white letters are correct for the car.
The windshield has been replaced, the rest of the tinted glass is original and in great shape.
The only deviation from stock was the addition of a nice manifold back dual exhaust sytem.
I have not detailed anything on this car..I wanted to present it exactly as found.
Just out of 5 years storage, all I've done is correct a fuel leak at the accelerator pump housing.
I replaced the accelerator pump itself (which is also the gasket) and that cured the leak.
Car runs and drives like new.. no rattles, creaks, squeaks, shudders..just a tight smooth ride.
North Carolina car.. one owner till 1996 when he passed. Car came to New England then and at that time
it had 71,784 on it.. It's been garaged and used occasioanally for cruises and shows.. Now has 75,900 17 years later.
I have a 12 part video series detailing the car if you are interested.
Contact me for YouTube links to the videos.
Known issues:
AC compressor turns freely, and turns on when called for but does not blow ice cold.
Temp gauge not working, including new sender/sensor with car.
Car is a blast to drive, very tight with no rattles or squeaks, responsive throttle, smooth ride.
Turns heads everywhere it goes, you just don't see the fastbacks much anymore.
I’ve included many pictures to help judge condition..but trust me, this is a great find
This car will walk away with survivor class trophies at car shows, its unmolested and fantastic.
There have been, and currently are several nice 72/73 GTS Torinos for sale here on ebay, however not
one of them is an original paint survivor car like this one. This car has nothing to hide, and is the nicest
unrestored Gran Torino Sport I've seen in many years.

Had some requests for more pictures, so here are more pictures..
First, some under car shots.
I have no lift so I had to just hold the iPhone under the car and take a few angles.
This is the passenger side front floor area and transmission crossmember:
.
This is looking under the rear at the gas tank and 9" rear end:
.
This is up under the rear and shows the frame meeting the bumper support area:
.
This is the same view from further back to show the gas tank straps and mounting area:
.
Here's the rear frame rail on the drivers side:
<[>
.
Here is the fuel filler behind the license plate:
.
I'm including the 1973 Torino sales brochure and the owners manual (note last time registered was 2008):
.
The 'Sport' page from the brochure and one of the manual pages as well:
.
I'm also including the carb rebuild kit (I only used the accelerator pump when it came out of storage)
The rest of the carb is fine and did not need rebuilding, but this may come in handy in the future.
The small red box is the new temperature sender / sensor I am including as well.
.
Again, thanks for all the interest. I've had several good offers on the car but now that the reserve is met, the auction
will run its course and the high bidder at that time will win this fantastic Torino.
(and whoever that ends up being, will be VERY happy~!
He may be a few months late to the party, but in celebration of the 50th anniversary of the Ford Mustang, Jay Leno has delivered a short video in which he runs down which of the Blue Oval's pony cars from the past 50 years are his favorites. The list is pretty darn similar to our own, with some of the big names from the Mustang's half century making an appearance, while there are three or four cars here that we think you'll be pretty surprised by. Take a look below for this short video from Jay Leno's Garage.
It comes as no surprise when Ford says that 32-percent of Focus ST buyers are under 35, but we weren't expecting this: the average annual salary of Focus ST buyers is $127,000. Twenty-two percent of non-ST Focus buyers are under 35, while their average annual salary is $67,000. We like the Focus ST because it has 252 horsepower, is genuinely fun to drive and offers great value for performance-minded car enthusiasts; facts that are not lost on customers, it seems. Ford says that the Focus ST has the highest percentage of conquest sales for a non-hybrid model it sells, and that the top-four trade-ins are from Honda, Chevrolet, Mazda and Toyota. Demand for the hot Focus is strongest in Los Angeles, Detroit, Houston and Orlando. "[The Focus ST is] having this kind of halo effect for other vehicles we'd hoped for when we invested in the ST brand," says John Felice, vice president of US marketing, sales and service, because it's helping to boost sales of other Ford vehicles.
Australia's Herald Sun newspaper has reported that the next-generation Ford Mustang is heading Down Under in 2016, just as Ford is hanging the "Closed for Good" sign on its Australian manufacturing operations and sending the Falcon to its grave. Ford hasn't offered any official word on the matter, but the paper says that Ford's global VP of sales and marketing, Jim Farley, is flying to Australia to make the announcement himself. While Ford converted Mustangs in the early 2000s from left-hand to right-hand drive for the Australian market and then sold them at high prices, it's been almost five decades since Ford imported a dedicated right-hand-drive Mustang to Oz. The arrival of the global model specifically made for places like Australia and the UK means Ford will also be able to offer them at better prices than the converted models; the Herald Sun says the price is expected to be "close to $50,000." And that's for one of the "V8 performance models," which are the only ones Australia will get; Ford apparently won't send the turbocharged four cylinder or the V6. The Aussies could find out in a month from now whether this rumor is true. We will all find out what this Mustang fuss is about when the car debuts at next year's New York Auto Show.
