This is a 4 month old restoration of a rust free very nice 87K original mile 1974 Gran Torino.  I am a sucker for anything from my childhood and bought a very straight rust free never been hit car to start. I did my research and between paint. wheels and interior managed to make a very accurate clone of the Starsky and Hutch cars I grew up with. The reserve is set at much less than I have into the car. The motor was totally gone threw. and tuned with an aftermarket Edelbrock Carb. The car was stripped and painted with an expensive two stage paint and color sanded. Not to mention to different stages of taping and painting to achieve the perfect stripes. Then the car received a new headliner. carpet and seat padding and upholstery. The car sounds and drives amazingly. The stereo is not original. but a detachable face cd player am/fm.  The steering wheel has two cracks in the black plastic.  And the gas gauge works speratically. The bumpers could use rechroming.  Other than that the car is great.  The glass is perfect. The chassis is rust free and straight.  The trunk is rust free and has never been replaced. There are no problems in the paint of any kind.  ZERO scratches. chips. dings.  The tires and rims have about 150 miles on them tops!  I spared no expense to recreate the car I wanted. The more you research these cars the more you'll see how exacting this car is. I think if you found 10 of these cars you wouldn't find one as good. The grill isn't all broken up.  The trim around the wheel well is there and straight. The car runs great and can be driven with one finger. I've taken some friends out to Hollywood and around LA a couple times having a great time.  I also have picked my kids up from school and the friends loved it. Honestly though. the people that love it the most are the 35-55 year old men that grew up with the show. Anyway. I've had my fun restoring and driving it. and like guitars and watches. my ADHD kicks in and I get bored.  There are always other cars I want to experience and I thought I would start selling the car now. I am ready to take a loss. but not give the car away.  Last Summer equivalent cars were selling on ebay for $20-25K. This is a FRESH restoration from California. Home of the original TV and movie cars. The car is housed at the Torrance Airport generally but can be brought home to Palos Verdes Estates for viewing with one days notice. Call 3102595195 to schedule. I reserve the right to end this auction at any time. as I have friends that are interested in buying or trading. Thanks for looking and bidding.
