One owner!!!

Neat car! No price?

Lack of A/C kills it for me. Strange that a southern car does not have it. Most that far south had A/C. Maybe someone that didn't like A/C bought it. lol.

 

That is spectacular! If I lived somewhere I could actually enjoy the old girl, I would be after her in a hearbeat!

 

I would love to pick this up.. 650 miles away isn't too too bad..

It had a price yesterday.. $4900

Not sure why he edited that off..

 

Seller says "barn find", when his family has had the car since new! "Barn-find"??? What a bonehead.

Nice car. No air. Pass.

 

Belongs to a family member, one owner, but he is not sure if it has the original engine?

 

Wow, a "3 on the tree"? I didn't even know Ford offered that in '72? I would love that car even without the ac.

 

Me too. I love the color. My 72 Gran Torino was red and it was a Ford garage dealership find. And even in central Illinois it had AC.
I didn't see no stinkin barn in those pictures. $5000 might not be too bad if it checks out okay.

 

Wow, it is 3-speed manual??? I didn't even notice that before. Well that is extremely rare on the Squire wagon I would imagine!!

Yep, they used 3-speed manuals in '72 as the standard tranny in these cars... see photo below...

Sounds like this person wanted to get the top of the line look, but saving money by not getting automatic and A/C. A/C was a $402 option (approx.) and automatic transmission was $211.

 

I'd wager this was an incredibly rare option combo for 1972 : possible one-of-a-kind?

 

Could be the only one in existence. I could understand maybe a base Torino wagon, but that would be rare, but a Gran Torino Squire with manual shift and no air?? Rare indeed.

 

How much nicer can you ask?

 

It sounds like something I would've ordered.

 

72 Torino

??? The Gal in the photo OR
??? The car......
