I’m new HELP!! Rare Torino!!????

welcome!

Thank you for the reply! I searched and found a website and used the decoder they had but it didn’t show the GD code and yes it has red vinyl seats and red interior. The car is white and HAD a brown vinyl top, I have searched every package I could think of with no luck. How long does it take to be able to post pics?

Sorry I was having trouble uploading the pics. I dont know if she can be saved but im going to try. I just dont understand why someone would go through so much trouble and money to put the HUMP on it. I is very well done and looks factory, but it is a cap and has no function other than aesthetics.

it’s made of fiberglass ? There is the same trunk

It is not fiberglass, I just dont know??!!!

I just saw a bronze colored 77 Thunderbird recently on Ebay or another site that had the same "hump-style" trunk on it. 

I'd guess it's an aftermarket trunk lid or a modified original trunk lid but it's not factory. These kind of add-ons were popular during this time.

Here the Thunderbird I was referring too:

Get down to the floor and under the top to see how bad it may be rusted. That will be the ultimate factor to see if you can fix it.

      JT, when did you get those???

Hello, this is my first time here. I am an owner of a 1974 Gran Torino Elite. This is the only year the Gran Torino Elite was badged this way. I started researching this vehicle after I purchased it. This is a rare combination Torino Elite and a Continental trunk from Ford.To answer your question YES!! Your vehicle may have came with the same option as mine. I came across this vehicle by chance.  I work at dealership  My customer purchased a new vehicle and no room ar her house to store her summer BMW. Her dad is with her and says 'If i trade my Torino in you can have that spot in  Barn". He says will you guys take this on trade. My managers say were are not intrested in a car that old. I asked my managers is it ok if I buy it from him. They gave me the ok. I meet the guy at his house. He has 2 garages and a barn of cars. He tells me the story on how he purchased this new when he became a judge. He use to take his kids to the drive Inn movies then his grandchildren. I was shocked when he gave me every single registration, owners manual, original floor mats, full spare and jack insurance cards and original title. My first time seeing an old title. He said he factory ordered A/C, special gage cluster and a continental truck. I acquired this vehicle with 52,590 miles .I take this out spring till fall. Owned since 2012 purchased for $2400. She is not fast but Cruises with ease. The factory air compressor is massive and is ice cold.I will share my pictures when I am allowed to post.
