Sadly it is time for me to let go of my 75 Gran Torino Sedan. Too many projects and other obligations keep me from getting to this, so I would rather put it into the hands of someone who can finish it, or at least use the parts. I need to get it moved out realistically before Thanksgiving. This is a project, but not terribly far from a runner. It needs a battery, radiator hooked up, and exhaust installed. It comes with tons of spare parts including an extra hood, grill, 4 spare side windows, many parts to make it a Sport Sedan. There's at least 3 sets of door cards and so much more. It will take a truck and trailer just to get it and all the spares. Shortly before it was parked I put in new rear wheel arches , and started a 72 sport hood graft. This can definitely be made into a fun car, I just lost time and funds. I have more pictures that I can gladly send via email.
I'm asking $1500 OBO I can help load all of it up. Dayton Ohio Near the Dayton International Airport

Does anyone want to make an offer? Anyone want parts? I'm calling a scrapper in two weeks. Didn't want this to happen, but it needs to go.

If I wasn't 2,200 miles away I'd be asking you about the front door bottoms. Hope some folks at least grab some parts from you before she goes :(

You will get an offer at some point. You just have to be patient. Four door sedans are getting a bit more popular now as they are less expensive to buy compared to the more popular 2 door cars.
Hopefully you dont have to call a scrapper. These cars will and do sell. Your $$$ is reasonable but it may take a bit more time.

I agree, these cars are just popular enough that a good wide listing will find someone who will like it enough to consider it. A nearly complete car is way more desirable than a project thing with a long list of needed/missing items.

Dont forget, even though it's a 4 door pillar sedan, it has many of the same desired parts as the 2 door coupes. They all came with the same engines and drivelines, making them much easier to buy price wise. This year alone at many of the carshows I've seen quite a few done up 4 door versions of the mid sized and full size 4 door American sedans, so they are gaining popularity. Believe me, this will sell. Even if somebody else buys it as a donor car for an exixting project. It has a lot of hard to find parts in it as it is.
Dont scrap it. :)

If you part it out, I'm interested in the rear bumper or at least the bumper guards. Some trim as well

Sorry for the delay. I had a person interested in the whole thing and wanted to see that through first. The seals were okay at best, I replaced one with off the shelf stuff and came up with something that sealed better.
Short version is they're probably not any better than what you have.
