    Wow! What a loaded '72 Gran Torino! 351 V8. Power windows, locks & seat along with factory a/c and 3rd seat. Even has the factory gauges and tachometer dash cluster. Needs new paint, but asking price of $4800 is not out of range for such a very rare wagon.

    Stop teasin me! Almost daily soneone posts a 72-74 Gran Torino. I traded a 1965 Mustang fastback when the kids grew too big. Who'da thunk that was gonna happen? Bought a new red GranTorino with black interior.
    Like a dummy I traded that in 1975 for a 1/2 ton Ford pick up to tow our RV just cause other campers said a truck was better!:slap:

    That is THE best Torino style built! No year has a more attractive nose, dash, and hood, as far as I am concerned. And in white! All this needs, from the pics, is a repaint and detail work under the hood, PLUS getting the A/C back together.

    I like this one a lot. Love this body style Torino. Although I do like 70-71 a little better.

    I feel your pain. After I had it for 10 years, I sold my first car, a '65 Mustang fastback, when my first daughter was born. So, we could buy a mini-van. :slap: Looking back, wish I had kept the Mustang, and borrowed the $4000 for the mini-van.

    Man, what's not to like about this one? It's a '72; it's got the Magnum 500 wheels; it's got power windows; it's got full gauges; it's got the Torino GT hood scoop; it's an 8-passenger. And it has a reasonable price on it. Somebody grab this one!
