Gran Torino I'm interested in

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   Hi everyone, I've spent the last year or so on the outside looking in regarding the classic car scene and am interested in pulling the trigger on one for myself. I found this ad near me for a 1968 Gran Torino GT 302 and wanted your guys' input as well as if you'd recommend this car as a good first classic to work with. I'm not a stranger to working on cars as I have a boosted and "half" built Subaru BRZ, but I really want to get into the classics as that's all I've been crazy about since I was a kid.

	Yeah it was up until late last night, surprised it was taken down at 8am this morning since the dealer doesn't operate until 11am haha

	Not to be a jag, but the 'Gran' was not part of the Torino line up until '72 on. The 68-71 models were just Torino or Torino GT. The 68-69 GT's actually had 'Grand Touring' on the door cards, which was gone on the '70/71's
