1973 Ford Gran Torino Sport
From the owner, Danny Haughn:
"1973 Ford Gran Torino Sport,
351C H-Code Cleveland engine,
FMX Stock Transmission,
4:11 Detriot Locker differential,
Bucket Seats with Auto Floor Shifter,
Rim Blow 3-spoke steering wheel,
Factory Gauge package,
Custom shaker hood.
I purchased the white 1973 Gran Torino Sport in 1999 and I am the 3rd owner of the vehicle. This Torino is nearly identical to the 1973 Torino I had in High School in the mid 1970’s. The seller provided all the original documentation for the car so I have its complete history including the original sales invoice from Al Ewing Ford in Winter Garden, FL, and the car was originally owned by a family member of the dealer. The second owner had completed the custom shaker hood when I purchased the car and it originally had a bench seat and automatic column shift. I installed the bucket seats, floor shifter, the correct optional factory gauges, the 3-spoke rim blow steering wheel, 1973 correct OEM seat belts from Fatman’s Garage, and the S/S Cragars for that classic muscle car look. Today the 1973 Torino is beautiful and runs like a monkey stealing bananas! The car was originally from the Orlando, FL, area and now is home in the Daytona Beach, FL, area."

Dan Bales: Nice to see you commenting. I still have the 73 Torino to this day – thanks again for selling me this car. I converted the column shift to the factory automatic shifter on the floor (not 4 speed) with the console and changed the steering column for the floor shift conversion. I have thought about doing the 4 speed conversion but I am also considering a Gear-Vendor overdrive with that 4:11 rear end. Everything I’ve done remains as close to factory as I can keep it. She still turns heads today :)
