Hi my name is Adam and I'm a new member to the group. I am 18 and the proud owner of a 1973 Gran Torino Sport. I've had the car since I was 6 years old. My grandpa bought it off my great uncle in Huntsville Alabama who was working at NASA and had many other old cars but the Gran Torino and two others where the ones he chose for me. He brought back to Cookeville where it really just sat until I was old enough to actually do something with it. Since I was 14 I've spent every dollar I had on the car and made it what it is now. My car (Tina) is about to undergo a frame up restoration I plan to do myself with some buddies and hopefully make it in to one beautiful show car. So glad to be a part of rare group of people. Thanks for having me!!
