Hello Community!
I'm Chris and I just joined your nice little forum. I'm a 27 year old photographer for a car magazine from Germany, so sorry if my English is a bit off from time to time! I've found you guys because I'm looking to buy a 1973 Gran Torino Sport in about 2 weeks. At least I hope its condition will turn out as expected when I can go to take a look at the car. It's a beautiful GTS Sportsroof in Clint Eastwood Green with a black vinyl top and the 400cui engine in it. I've really fallen in love with it and really hope it'll all work out! I've already researched some options I might have if I wanted to help this engine to gain a little bit more power and efficiency It looks you're the right guys to discuss things like that with. But first things first. Fingers crossed! I'll keep you updated if you're interested. Cheers from Germany! |

OMG I did it!!
This beauty is now officially mine. Isn't she gorgeous? I think so. Now I'll just have to wait for her to get ready for the german TÜV () and then we'll see where things will go. Maybe I should open a thread in the project updates section? It's my first american classic and I'll document everything I'll do to it, even though I won't be able to make it such a big impressive project like many of you... Oh, and please have a peek of course: |

It's not perfect, but it's a good condition for driving and using it as well as putting some work into it :-) |

Congratulations! I sold my '73 fastback to a gentleman named Uwe in Germany in 2009. There's a least one other over there someplace.

Thanks guys!
There's more work to be done than it looks, though. But I'm looking forward to working on it :-) And I will start a progress thread for sure! @Tim1859: Do you know where he lives? |

I think he lives in Frankfort, but I just looked back through my email, and I can't find a message that says where he lives. He sent me pictures from an old car meet in Bergen-Enkheim in October, 2012.

Tim,
I think I saw a Gran Torino for sale online which was located in Frankfurt...but I can't find it anymore so it's probably sold. |
