    Torino Wagon

    :disagree:My first and only station wagon--- till the 55 Chevy wagon--- was a new red 1972 Gran Torino wagon with shiny 390! Wish I had that car today. Traded it on a 1975 red Ford supercab truck for better RV towing. :camera:A great lookin Ford wagon!

    That's a beaut! What's the history on it? The spotlight on the pillar makes me wonder if it was ever a Working Wagon.

    have had a charging gremlin for the last 3 days it was over charging
    we pulled all the wires apart from alt to reg and nothing wrong
    after a hour of going over chilton and ford books we checked from ground lug
    on alt to body 2 volts added ground wire and problem fixed no ground fron engine to body.
    car was the family camping vehicle he bought a motor home in 1985 wagon had 41000 miles then and now has 46556 miles it is a floormat car no carpet from fact someone added carpet but old matt still there.
    have to check spotlight does not work.

    Not any time soon
    a paint job only will cost me material as my son
    paints million dollar boats for Nor-tech boats
    this is my daily driver and the Florida sun fades paint jobs
    this is my R/C boat he painted
