Added the rear sway bar when I replaced the springs and shocks. Moog. CC 803 station wagon springs and KYB Gas changed heavy duty shocks in the rear. CVPI springs and matching KYB shocks up front.

polishing mags that probably haven't been done in years. Black out the overspray and replaced the rusted lugnuts and washers.

That's how I got it. I've made no changes yet. The 351W is all original and very tired.

You got it.
So far, I've changed out the gauge cluster to the GTS cluster. The bezel came from a Mercury Cougar XR7. It looks nice. Some one cut in a Sony Xplode system. It sounds nice but the dash is cut in to accept the newer electronics. The black interior was redone and looks great. The red metallic paint is fairly new. It has 15x7.5 US Mags up front and 15x10 in the rear. I've replaced the factory springs with Moog station wagon springs in the rear and CVPI springs up front. It sits nice with a slight rake. Almost no body roll and a very new car feel.

Hello from sunny Florida.
I'm Steve McCulley. My car is a 1976 Gran Torino. I picked this one up 6 months ago. It came with a 351W, FMX, and somewhere around 355 gears. The previous owner changed out the front loader. Its missing a few trim items and what was chrome is now metallic silver. This is my 5th Gran Torino in 40 years. They are fun to work on and fun to drive.
