72 gran torino sport

[michelle]

this was a johan promo that i got at a yardsale  recently for only  2 dollars   it had a crack in the windshield and the stearing wheel was broken and two of the wheels were broken off the axels   
it was molded in  yellow mustard color   i made a new windshield and gave it a new strearing wheel and colum and added a shifter   which it did not seem to have and  put a new set of tires wheels and axals   on it  and painted the body in testors  extreme lacquer flaming orange  and painted the interior in rustoleum khaki

Looks good !  I really like that year Torino. I bought a new Torino Sport in 73 but they stuck that picnic bench front bumper on it .

thats a good idea the front end is pretty close to the 73  just some minor changes to the grille and other areas  and bumper would be needed

Great looking rebuild. Good color choices and the interior looks very nice. I like the style of wheel you chose.
