Ford Gran Torino 1972 Sport

 A lot of water has flowed under the bridge since my last post.   Not sure where to start but life definitely got in the way.   Fortunately, the Ford Gran Torino 1972 is still with me and is still my dream car.   I’ll start updating the blog more often as it was such a pleasure to do so.   Now the car is asleep for the winter as you can tell with this storage picture below.   The other picture is with another of my prized possession, which is my giant Ford Excursion.

  In these cold winter days, what else than remembering last July with the Torino in the driveway instead of being the garage. I find it the perfect blend with my late 50's house :)    

Here is a quick update regarding the height of the rear end. It was lifted of 1.5" I think it gives the car a rock and roll attitude!!!

You will find below some images from my wedding last September. All the guests were definitely in love with the car. It was a magical day, with a dream wife and a dream car!!

Early this month, I went to the Gramby show here in Quebec. The Torino was a real love story with the public. Everyone kept asking stories about the beast. Also, the transmission C6 is freshly rebuilt. It is without a doubt, the best car in the whole world. Sharp look, fantastic design and historically rich in American racing (Engine: 24h lemans/Body-style: Nascar). In the pictures below, you see me talking about the car and in the second image; you see lots of interest towards my gas tank!!

The car is now ready for the road. It drives like a dream. The power it has is almost scary!! I am planning many road-trips this summer. I will post some more adventures shortly. In the meantime, here is a picture of the car next to a historical bridge in the Laurentian near Mont-Tremblant .
