Not my car but is local to me. 1973 GTS in Inyokern, CA, listed for $2,500. 351C-2V, sport gauge cluster. Body has typical surface rust on top half and rear bumper, rust holes in battery tray. Otherwise, body appears in good shape in photos. Frame is not shown, but given lack of rust holes by wheel wells, I'd be surprised if the frame is junk. Interior looks to be missing headliner; dash pad is severely cracked; driver's seat has split; horn pad held to steering wheel with tape. Ad states 53,000 miles, but could also be 153,000 for all I know.

That looks to be a pretty good deal to me. I hope someone here picks it up and gets it on the road again.  ------------- Carlos....1975 Gran Torino Squire Station Wagon restored to look like a 1973 Torino Station Wagon my Dad bought new from McAnary Ford on June 6, 1973 in Gary,Indiana |

If I had the time, money, and storage space to take on another project car, I'd probably jump on this. Heck, if I had a youtube channel, this looks like an excellent candidate for a "will it run" video where I try to get it running in their yard and drive it the 10 or so miles home. ------------- 1972 Gran Torino station wagon, light blue, 351C 2V, prior owner upgraded to 4V (2V heads), originally had a C4 but prior owner changed to C6 for some reason. |

10 miles isn't enough for a test like Roadkill does.  ------------- Don 73 Ranchero "Sport 72 front end", floor shift/console, planning EFI 7000 rpm 351 stroker 73 Ranchero GT 351C-4V &4R70W for sale later. 92 Lincoln Mark VII SE GTC, OBDII 347/4R70W |

Looks like the listing already got deleted. Hopefully that means it's going to a good home. ------------- 1972 Gran Torino station wagon, light blue, 351C 2V, prior owner upgraded to 4V (2V heads), originally had a C4 but prior owner changed to C6 for some reason. |
