The Classic American Muscle Icon
66,201 original miles
(Averaging 1400 per year)
Equipped with such power and style it became the quintessential classic American muscle icon.
This exemplary vehicle can be used as an everyday driver, taken on nostalgic cross-country road trips, used as a show car to accumulate trophies, or put aside to accrue in value as a collector’s car.
The power under the hood coupled with its extreme design gave it sex appeal which turned this car into the classic American muscle icon, which has since been featured in many American classics becoming the namesake of the movie ‘Grand Torino’ staring Clint Eastwood. A Candy-Apple Red Grand Torino with white GT racing stripes was the car of choice for America 1970’s TV classic ‘Starsky and Hutch’.
The Grand Tonino was marketed as a street racer that would win races. They were encouraged to be driven hard, and they were until there was not much left of them. Consequently very few survived the abuse of the teenagers living in America's fastest decade put them through making this well preserved American muscle icon extremely rare.

This rare vehicle has been given a Marti Report certification showing it is original complete with matching numbers. Marti was the privileged licensee to Ford Motor Motor Company’s entire production database for 1967-2007 models. Mari reports can tell you about anything from the original color of the car, what the rear axle ratio is, to what day the car was sold for about any Ford, Lincoln or Mercury made in the United States or Canada.
While the Mustang was a massive success for Ford, it only ruled the Pony Car market, which did not impress the savvy street racers leaving Ford with no street credence as a muscle car, so the Grand Torino was purposely born into greatness for it was designed with striking power to amaze the drag pack.
'Putting the car through quick and or tight corners isn't a matter of practiced art.
It's more like 2nd nature for the GT'.
