One Sweet Granada

[dburdyshaw]

So a few months back ---- when I bought the house ---- I said that I would stop looking at cars to buy. Then came along the Cadillac ---- and I hadda go ahead and buy it.

Then I said, "enuf's enuf ---- no more buying for a long time" ---- but this sweeeeet Granada really could get my attention.

I do have a question though ---- and it's the reason that this is not in our "for sale" section. Is this not a fox chassis?

[fordguy]

nope, not a fox. there is a fox granada, started in 81 i believe.

Heres the stock one (except the wheels) I took them off and put the original magnum 500's back on it. The chrome wheels were on it when i bought it. Its a 302 with the 4 speed on the floor, bucket seats and the ESS option, one owner and only 70,000 miles on it, lady owned and babied

I always thought the granada was the ugliest car ford ever made. but that one dont look to bad. I wouldn't buy it but it doesn't look that bad...except the back view. dont know if there is a spoiler that would work on that car. hoodscoop isn't bad on it.

[78Z7]

WOW!!! That looks sweet.

[K PONY]

Nice find... looks cool in that color combo and Magnum 500's.

I think the early round headlight Granada makes a cool hot rod. They're so rare in the
hot rod world so they stand out. It's a pretty cool ride.

Well, for me, you're really close there.

I like the round headlight Granadas better than the square ones, too ---- and if I bought this one, I'd always still be wanting one of the other ones.

It seems way too often for me, I miss getting what I want by just that much.

I'm not even sure what made me check out Craigslist and eBay these last few days.

The worst part is that I found an '80 Mustang for sale just five miles down the road from me ---- and a Lincoln Versailles about 20 miles away. I emailed the guy about the Mustang and go no response ---- and I think that I know where the Versailles is so I might just take a country drive this weekend to see it.

I oughta stay home and plant tomatoes.



















BTW, if Lincoln Versailles doesnt ring a bell, think Mercury Monarch ---------- with a Continental Tire Kit.

[dburdyshaw]

And yeah, ascmclaren12, that blue one is very close to perfect.

Cragar mags?

[Ford Builder]

I had one just like that one same paint sceme da sa voo. built of the Maverick plate form Great car. Wish I never sold it bought it of the original owner. 1979

[DustDevil]

A 79 Granada 4 door was my first car. I put the smack on that thing daily and it kept on takin it. Good times

[danandamy]

Dang, I want it!

An ESS Granada! There was a fellow in Seattle selling his on Craigslist awhile back. I thought it was pretty cool car but it disappeared not too long afterwards.

fox body Granada....

[dburdyshaw]

Awesome! I havent seen one of those in like forever.

There is a four-door Cougar version in my hometown that never seems to move.

I've thought 'bout seeing if they want to sell it. It's in "okay" condition. It could be a DD ---- but I'd want to restore it.

[8T3Hatch]

That eBay one is an extremely clean version of the breed.

I'd wait it out if it's not exactly what you wanted though.

[Jax Rhapsody]

The brochure one looks like as tiny Lincoln. That is one Granada I wouldnt mind having in that ebay ad. I'd say it would look better with a wing than a spoiler. Like the ones the old LeMans had.
