    well i end up buying a 73 gran torino... everything is fine it runs now (fuel pump was bad) its the little stuff that driving me crazy there is hardly any parts on ebay actually less than the mavs and comets if u ask me and really no forums like this one, there is but not very informative...but i will figure it out one way or another... usually a ford is a ford

    I am trying to sell my brothers '69 Torino GT Fastback and I couldn't find a good forum either. Nothing even close to this forum. Good luck with your new purchase!

    It was a lot tougher back in the early 90's when I went looking for parts for my 72 Gran Torino Sport. My quarters were badly rotted out and no one made any body panels for it plus there was no Ebay either. I gave up and gave the car away to a guy who made it into a stock car. The drive train I saved and everything went into my Maverick. :)

    I had a low mileage 69 Fairlane as well as a 69 Ranchero way back when. The Fairlane was a daily driver and I loved that thing. Almost had a 72 Ranchero. Anyway - look under Ranchero as they seem to be more popular. Also Dearborn Classics is a great source for parts.

    Give me a list of what you need. I run across Torinos from time to time.

    I have the front disk brakes from a 73 Grand Torino for sale. I'll take $100.00 plus shipping. Let me know if you need them.
