76 Ford Gran Torino Squire 3S

Up for sale is a 1976 Ford Gran Torino Squire 3 seat wagon witih 75k two owner miles; same owner since '79 and title is from '79.

Lifelong western car - nice solid body with no bondo, no accidents. a 351W 2V V8 and 3 speed automatic transmission. Totally unmolested except cleanup - original paint, interior, wood, everything. Runs and drives well - no overheating, shifts great - and I've tooled around town in it several times, but drive long distance at your own risk. I have a video of it driving but can't post it on eBay - message me and I'll send you the link.

Condition Report
ENGINE: Runs on all eight cylinders without smoking, missing or knocking. Engine runs at proper temperature. Newer battery & good charging system. Newer belts all around. Starts easy and runs strong. At warm idle after driving 10 minutes or so, it wants to idle low; rev about 3 times and idle comes back and stays fine.
TRANSMISSION: Performs beautifully. Engages gears quickly and shifts through all forward gears and reverse with good downshift and torque converter performance. Clean fluid with no burn odors.
EXTERIOR: Body: Body is exceptionally straight and solid. Very straight down the sides with NO rust. There is a dent on the tailgate you can see looking at it sideways (see pics). Otherwise, no body issues. Way above average body. Paint: Paint is very nice for age. Very few minor nicks and scratches consistent with age some of which are photographed. Also way above average. Wood: Upper wood trim has peel spots. The side panel fake wood is in good shape with some nicks/scratches as pictured. Top part of left front and left rear doors have some cracking. Other: Chrome bumpers are straight - front has some chrome lifting near where battery sits; rear is great. Windshield has no cracks or chips. Undercarriage is extremely solid with only minor surface rust like you'd expect of a western car - see the pics. Underhood sheet metal and tailgate sill and door jambs (areas where these cars tend to rust) are also nice as seen in pics. Hubcaps are in good shape.
INTERIOR: Interior of the car is in very nice shape consistent with low miles. Dash has no cracks and is still shiny. Seating areas are in great shape. Front seat has a small seam split as seen in pics. Carpet in seating area is in very nice shape with some minor staining. Headliner is near perfect. Cargo deck is in great shape. Steering wheel is in nice shape. No smoke or pet odors. Very nice interior overall.
ELECTRICAL STUFF: All inspection items work (lights, horn, wipers, etc.) Has hot heat and cold A/C,am/fm stereo cassette, and power rear window; all work
DRIVEABILITY: Drives out very nicely as you'd expect of low miles. Alignment is dead on, suspension is tight; steering would be tight but needs a rag joint (dead man knuckle in place and steers good with 2 inches of play due to this. Brakes work well with good linings all around. Tires are a matched set of GoodYears with about 50% tread remaining. Solid, quiet exhaust with no leaks. Older car with no major issues - I would be comfortable driving a long distance but you might not - use your judgement.
