1972 ram air gran Torino sport Pictures

Only 72 with ram air? I have been wondering-seemed like very few just early on.

welcome! ^^^yes

[hey new here just getting ready to restore my 72 gts with ram air and saw this thread just wanted to let all you know I just read an article in muscle car enthusiast 2004 that there where only "72 " ( I know it's weird 72 sold for year 72) Gran Torino's so equipped by ford that year with ram air units if I could figure out how to post pics I'd post the article with pics is there anyone on this site that maybe could put together a ram air registry would be cool to know about how many are left the old guy I bought mine from said most got thrown out because rain rusted them out and made block off plates thanks

I was able to finally contact original owners son, he shed some light on the ram air unit.   He said his dad bought it later and installed it around 1980q

The dealer it was purchased at, is still in Dearborn and they still really cater to the ford employee crowd. I am still trying to track down the original owners family, maybe that can shed sone light on it.

That's where I found my build sheet on the 72 GTS.  

I just completed the restoration on my 72 GTS. I was the first to disassemble this car. Even the sill plates had NEVER been removed. The first thing I did after removing the sill plates was removing the back seat which had NOTHING underneath it from the original owner and looked like it had never been removed. Next I pulled back the rear carpet, and sitting right on top of the sound/vibration material was a tally sheet of some kind showing some molding adjustments that the car needed at final QC. Thats the only item it ever found. NO BUILD SHEET ANYWHERE!

Vince, you are probably right. I remember cars having that additional sheet for dealer installed items, but that was most likely years later.

I wouldn't worry too much about reports and what it shows or won't show. Its a nice ass car and I'd simply enjoy the hell out of it.

I agree. The window sticker will show everything added to the car - both factory and dealer installed. The Marti report will not.

is that the highest level Marti ?

Has anyone seen a Marti where ram air shows up?   I am not sure the build sheet has a spot for that option. We will see.

Pete, do you need any '65 Falcon parts or a floor shift Torino column for a 1970-71?

Very nice find and what a nicely equipped car!  Hope you post the project on here, I am looking forward to following it.  I'd bet if this was ordered by a Ford Executive, he might have been able to get them to throw a left over Ram Air assembly in the trunk, or at the very least order the parts separately and have the dealer install it.
