History of my car

My car started out in life as a Polar White Gran Torino 2 door hardtop. According to Ford Customer Services, original factory installed options were:
460 CID V8 Engine with 4 BBL Carb
XPL Automatic Transmission (C6)
Polar White Exterior
Saddle Vinyl Bucket Seats with Console and Floor Shift
Automatic Seat Back Release
2.75 Locking Rear Axle
Heavy Duty Suspension
Rear Defroster
Speed Control
AM Radio
AC with Tinted Glass All Around
Bodyside Moldings
Produced 02/06/1976
Saddle Vinyl Half Roof (Dealer installed? Car has molding holes in roof, sail panels, and trunk filler, but vinyl roof is not listed on the build sheet)

Here are a few pictures of the car when Steve purchased it for conversion....

































All in all a very solid base for a conversion. My next installment will include pics of my Gran Torino as converted by Steve into a Starsky & Hutch replica. BTW, my car was his 7th conversion.

As of 7/2/20 he has completed 44 conversions!!

Until next time.......
