The car was underpowered for its engine size.
The interior was small for the size of the car.
The car developed rust even though I oiled and waxed it to death.
This car is the best I have owed it went on and on.
It went on many long vacations and never let us down.
In the end it cost me approx. $35 a month to drive it for 8 years.
There is no recommendation of purchase here, and if you drive a 1970s North American car you will be very aware how good modern cars are.
I own a 1975 Gran Torino wagon. I recently purchased this car, which is exactly like my very first car. It looks, and runs very well, considering it is an all original 30 year old car, with 120,000 miles on it. I am looking forward too many years of driving pleasure from this 70's tank. All of the comments you made about this vehicle, are right on the money.
