Here is the listing info:

This 1972 Ford Gran Torino Sport is a SportsRoof model that was delivered new to Costner/Eagleton Motors in Maryville, Tennessee, powered by a 400ci V8 linked with a three-speed automatic transmission. The car was purchased by the seller in 2023, and subsequent work included a repaint in metallic copper, the installation of a replacement grille and exterior door handles, re-chroming the bumpers, and the addition of staggered-diameter American Racing wheels. Features include Ginger upholstery with front high-backed seats as well as quad headlights, hood scoops, dual side mirrors, power steering, power-assisted front disc and rear drum brakes, a Pioneer stereo, and air conditioning. This Gran Torino Sport is now offered with spare parts, an uninstalled Dakota Digital instrument cluster, a Marti report, and a clean Florida title in the seller’s name.

Delivered new in Gold Glow Metallic, the car was repainted under current ownership in a custom shade of metallic copper. During the repaint, the front and rear side markers were shaved, the bumpers and headlight surrounds were re-chromed, and the door handles and grille were replaced.

American Racing 18×8″ front and 20×12″ rear wheels are mounted with faux Shelby spinners and Nitto NT555 tires. The car is equipped with power steering and a front and rear coil-spring suspension, and braking is provided by power-assisted front disc and rear drum brakes.

The cabin features twin high-back front bucket seats and a rear bench wrapped in ginger upholstery. Interior appointments include a center console, manually operated windows, a Pioneer stereo, and air conditioning.

The two-spoke steering wheel fronts a Rallye instrument cluster consisting of a 120-mph speedometer, a 6k-rpm tachometer, and auxiliary gauges for fuel level, oil pressure, amperage, and coolant temperature. The five-digit odometer shows 92k miles, approximately 100 of which were added under current ownership.

The 400ci V8 was equipped with a four-barrel carburetor and aluminum intake under prior ownership.Power is routed to the rear wheels through a SelectShift Cruise-O-Matic three-speed automatic transmission.

The Marti report lists a production date of December 3, 1971, along with selected options and delivery in Tennessee.

It looked even better before he painted it IMO.  Here is how the car was before he painted it, shaved the marker lights and front bumper.  I wonder where that wheel moldings ended up?
