Description My new 1975 Ford Gran Torino Brougham sedan, which is to far gone to restore. I picked 'er up for $400 from the previous owner, who was about to take 'er to the crusher. The poor thing was left in a field for too long and mother nature attacked this boat with brute force and the roof, body, frame, and general structural integrity is gone, in fact Maggie isn't this bad and that's saying a whole lot. I poked holes through the rood and could see my fingers through the headliner, or maybe that was mice, or wasps, couldn't actually figure out that one. This is a parts car for my Torino "Sexxy," who will be receiving the A/C from this, power windows, possibly doors, passenger fender, wheels, glass, and much more from this. I wish this car could be saved, as four doors are beyond cool and should be saved, but once the actual structure of something fails then it's to far gone to save, and sadly this Torino is one of those that will be hitting the big highway in the sky. It's sad that I will have to send one of my dream cars to the scrap yard in the end...

If you are really willing to restore it I'll sell you what I don't take, but honestly I don't ever say something's too far gone but this car is in need of one of the most serious restorations I've ever seen. The roof is like swiss cheese, the car is bending from weakened metal, but if you want it I could sell to you but you'd have to import it to the U.S. and come pick it up.

I'm a teenager as well, I'm 18. I personally love these cars to death but I couldn't pay somebody enough money to pass it, period. It's not worth the time, money or effort to put into this specific car. The whole thing will be stripped and used on my '73 Torino sedan and my soon to be '72 Torino wagon. You can find a lot better than this locally. To be honest I can't ship it because I have no way to transport it.

Vinyl roofs look sexy, but once water gets through, it's all over, Rover.
