Chassis no. 2A38H253127. Green Gold Metallic with black stripes and black vinyl roof over dark green vinyl. 351/161hp, automatic, Magnum 500 wheels, Radial T/A tires, factory air conditioning, tinted glass, power steering, power front disc brakes, bench seat.

Evaluation: Freshly restored and lightly run engine bay. Paint looks very good from a distance but reveals prep issues up close with a lot of small blisters, particularly on the tail. Clean, tight roof vinyl. New-looking wheels. Very good interior. Tired chrome that looks original and stands out on an otherwise lovely car. An eye-catching Gran Torino that is plenty good enough for what it is.

Bottom Line: Later Grand Torinos look great and are more comfortable than most classic muscle cars, but they aren’t particularly fast or particularly valuable. This price, then, was surprisingly high.
