1977 Ford Granada Base "S" review from North America
"Great car! It's a classic!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The carb went bad a couple of times.
The original battery would die when it was really cold out.
At 250,000 in the 1990s the engine and trans were rebiult. Along with brakes and new tires.
Other than that, regular maintenance has kept the car going.
General comments?
Good car. Mine hasn't rusted out yet. Recommend it to anyone.
Not the fastest car, but I paid around 3,000 for it, and it's been the cheapest and best car I ever bought.
