Description : Gateway Classic Cars Houston Showroom is pleased to offer this 1972 Ford Gran Torino Sport. This brown-on-brown Gran Torino is a true survivor, having been in the same family since it was new. Its original owner, who was in the military, purchased the car in 1972 in California, and took it with him wherever he was stationed. After his passing, his son brought it to Texas from Little Rock, AR, and it has been kept here since. The 351 that it was manufactured with, along with the 3-speed automatic transmission, are unrestored and have not been rebuilt. Both the exterior and interior have been left unrestored, so although they are showing their age a bit, this car is in solid condition for being an unrestored 50-year-old car! The paint is clearly in a natural state of "patina", and the seats and headliner are in good shape for its age, but this car has solid bones, and runs and drives like it should. It's riding on a set of Michelin X radials, size P215/75R14, and they appear to have good tread life left. Additional features and options on this 1972 Gran Torino include Air Conditioning, AM/FM Radio, Power Brakes, Power Steering, Radial Tires, Seat Belts, and Vinyl interior. Give us a ring, and we'll help you get your starter classic today!

About Ford
Ford, founded in 1902, has arguably changed the history of automotive world more than any other car manufacturer by introducing the first people's car Model T in 1908. They had produced more than 15 million cars by the end of the production in 1927, by which T had become obsolete.Ford launched the first low priced V8 engine powered car in 1932. 1932 V8 was an instant hit with superior handling and performance to many far more expansive cars of the day. No wonder 32 V8 Ford has become such a favourite among hot rodders around the world with 32 Deuce coupe as their icon.
During the war Ford completely shut down civilian vehicle production to dedicate all its resources to the Allied war efforts (1942-45) They used to build B-24 bombers, aircraft engines, jeeps, M-4 tanks, military trucks and Bren-gun carriers and more than 30,000 super-charged Rolls Royce Merlin V-12 engines for Mosquito and Lancaster bombers as well as P-51 Mustang fighters. After the war Ford cars in the USA got bigger and flashier along with their competitors. In the 60's Ford was back in the forefront again when introducing their commercial hit Mustang in 1964. Mustang was so popular the competition had to follow Ford's example and the ponycar phenomenon took over the US. Over the years the ponies grew some muscles until the oil crisis kill finally killed them off.
In the sixties Ford rushed into international motor sports scene with a fury. After unsuccessful Ferrari takeover, when Enzo Ferrari had cut the deal off with Henry Ford II making the latter absolutely boil with fury, Ford turned to Lola in UK to produce a Ferrari beating long distance racer after. The collaboration between Ford and Lola created the mighty Ford GT40 that absolutely beat Ferrari in Le Mans 24 numerous times.
In Europe, Ford introduced some of the most epic race and rally cars of the 60's based on humble family sedans; Cortina GT, Lotus Cortina, Escort Twin Cam, and Escort 1600RS with the iconic Cosworth BDA engines.
