Hello , I can say newbie here , Always had some questions maybe some one can answer . Have a 1974 Gran Torino . Sure like the 1972 and 73 sport hood with the hood scoop on them and wonder if a 72 or 73 hood would fit on my 74 if I should ever find one .
Second is would a front clip off a 1975 cougar fit a 74 gran torino ? The 74 Gran Torino has that big plastic grill where the Cougar's I think is metal but not sure .

72 is the only year that the scoop was on the gts hood. It is a 1 year only hood, will not bolt onto your 74. Some folks have taken the scoop section from a 72 hood and grafted to a 74-76 hood. That would be your only option.

the frame horns where the 1972 bumper mounts are 1 year only, 1972
the 73 uses 5 mph impact absorbers where the 72 is solid mounted, different frame it's been done more than a couple times, get a set of 72 frame horns and weld them on then the complete 72 doghouse fits the 73 body shell next problem is the availability of good 72 sheet metal, being 1 year only it's hard to find the 72 grill trim alone is crazy money would you be good with a 73 bumper tuck and hood graft? |
