Finally back into a wagon

After several years without a wagon, I couldn't handle it anymore. I recently purchased this '72 Gran Torino Squire. I spent some time replacing the fuel system. It took a while to source a replacement fuel tank. Then, I re-did the cooling system. I had it idling for the first time since ownership to check the cooling system, to discover coolant in the oil. So, I'm gonna have to step back and reevaluate my plans.

 

Dang it. I hate it when something like that happens.

 

Oh no!
That means a new motor, doesn't it? There's no way to save this one?

Rats! So sorry to hear this. It's a great looking car, love the color.

 

It may just be a head gasket that's leaking. The other way around would be even worse, when either a block or head cracks

 

i just went thru the same thing with my 68 ford gaxalie, motor and tranny rebuilt. suks but has to be done. congrats an the Torino i love those !!!!

 

I hope it's nothing "too" serious and that you're able to get it back on the road easily.

 

Super cool and one of the best looking and performing wagons.
