Eventually me and my brother came along and the had no place to stay so it had to go :(. He sold the engine and trans to one person and the rest of the car to another. Ever since then I have heard the some day I will have another one story.
Well last year around the middle of november I found a 1968 torino shell, we looked at,
but made the decision that well the body was solid, something a little more complete would be a better route to go.
I continued my internet search trying to find a car for dad. Around the end of November I found a 1972 Gran torino outside of Pittsburgh PA. After talking with the owner threw email and seeing pics of the car we decided that it was the car for us. It was a complete car, Originally it was bench seats non-sport interior, 351 Cleveland and a C6 transmision. 
Scooped hood, brown exterior and brown interior. When we got it, it still had the orriginal 351 Cleveland, C6 combo, the bench front seat had been replaced with aftermarket bucket seats
, The brown interior had been painted / dyed black, a center console was added as well as a set of Hurst Lightning Rods. The car ran and drove when we picked it up.

We could tell that the car was going to need rear quarter work, the typical ford rust spots showed signs of cancer underneath. Some time along the life of the car someone had attempted to do rust repair well they weren't don't the best they did keep the car presentable but that wouldn't be good enough for these spots would be fully cut out and repaired one way or another.
We brought the car home in an enclosed car trailer threw a couple lake snow storms along I-90. We finaly had the car in our garage December 5, 2009.
