hello everyone my name is Brad Patton from southern California. I have a red 1972 Gran Torino sport fastback Q-code I got from Texas about 6 months ago and it's my dream car! Figured I would join the forum as I will need some parts and advice on certain things. I have many plans for the car, starting with fixing the rear bumper as it is dinged up a bit, replacing the gas tank (previous owner put I'm a 76 gas tank and it sticks out to far), replacing the rims and tires, and eventually converting it to a 4 speed manual ( currently has a c6 automatic) . When I get a chance I will try to figure out how to post some pictures of it. Thanks for letting me join!

Welcome. As soon as you are upgraded to full membership you will be able to post pics. Sounds like a nice car. Vince will be along shortly.
Is your car the barn find with low mileage by chance?

no that's not mine, but I remember when that popped up on Facebook and ebay, around $20000 if I remember correctly. I got mine from PC investments in sherman Texas from donnie and Michael M. Who some of you probably know. I'm sure Michael's probably in these forums all the time.

If I ever get another car, it is gonna be a fight between red or pearl white. My first was originally red which I never knew until the next owner pointed it out to me.
Your car is beautiful. A brother to Vince's.

No teasing. Pop the hood, open the doors and trunk.
