Hello everyone. My name is Chase and I just joined the Facebook page not to long ago. Now I'm on the actual website. I have a rather rare car. It's a 1974 Ford Gran Torino Sport, 2 door/sport vynal top. The vynal top isn't on anymore due to cracks and other weathering. It's got bucket seats, rally Guage cluster, center console with floor shift auto (C6 Tranny). It's been in my Family since the early 90s as my mom's car. It was parked in 2003 due to carburetor problems and it was being daily driven so gas was pretty hard to keep up with. If I didn't already mention, it has an original 351 Cleveland Cobra Jet, 4V. I'm only 15 but I'm eager to start driving so I thought, why not while I wait I'll get the Torino running? Get her back to her former glory. Any questions you have please ask.

Welcome! That's awesome! You better hold onto that car forever. Don't ever get rid of it, no matter the circumstances. You'll end up regretting it, trust me. We still have my Granddad's '67 Chevy truck, that he bought in '69. It's gonna stay in the family forever.
There's a write-up on here about attaching pictures. I look forward to seeing them, although I think I saw them on Facebook.

How to post pictures...
the good thing about our picture posting is the files are stored here on our server and do not get erased or cleared out. YEARS from now you will have them on your thread. |
