1974 Ford Gran Torino. The most recognizable police car straight out of 70's television! If you want to pass by unnoticed, do not buy this car! If you cannot handle high HP and TORQUE, DO NOT BUY THIS CAR. Built with a 351C, now has a 400M. Automatic transmission and power steering work great. Stored in a dry, temperature and humidity controlled environment for the last 3 years. I've had cops walk up to me in parking lots and ask to take it's picture.

The not so good-
Brakes need to be bled
There seems to be a broken tooth on the pinion gear drive for the speedometer. The needle bounces at slow speed and reads incorrectly at high speed
Interior is not complete. The C-pillars and rear parcel shelf need upholstering
The C pillars should probably be welded where the opera windows were.
