You know how this goes. You come across a car on craigslist that is worth twice the asking price in parts alone. You reach out to the seller . Ask them if they still have the car.. Then you knock $3-500 off the original asking price and this is what you get..
A 1982 Ford Granada LX Coupe in tan/gold with black interior and no motor or transmission.
Already installed from previous owner -
Tubular AJE K member
Tubular everything else
Drag coil overs with C&C plates installed
Flaming River Manual Steering Rack
Mach 1 front brakes
8.8 rear end with 3.73 gears
subframe connectors , Upper & lower control arms
New Carpet , Rear Seat & headliner
12 Gallon fuel cell + the rest of the fuel system (aeromotive fuel regulator, Holley Black Pump & aeromotive fuel filter)
Holley HP750 Carb
TCI outlaw shifter + Shifter Cable
All for $2182 its all the money I had in my pocket at the time..
A week or two goes by before I purchase a turn key Air filter to oil pan with MSD 6ls box 5.3 with 4th gen rotating assembly flat top pistons & mild ported heads and a BTR3 cam along with a mild built th400 and converter. for $3000
Long tube headers $375 shipped from ebay. 1-7/8ths to 3"
Sold the Nova Long tubes that came with the engine - $175
Another 3-400 in randoms , oil, gaskets, V Bands , $350
And this is what you get.. My 1982 Ford Granada 2 door LS swapped “street car” for $5730 I think I did pretty damn good.
!!! UNKNOWN CONTENT TYPE !!!
Sorry for the shitty quality who knew VHT & iphones don’t mix..

My inner redneck is supremely jealous. Good luck with what appears to be the start of a fun build.

Sucks to have a great user name that doesn’t relate to the car you own anymore. Sold the Datassun in July of this year before building this one.

So what you’re saying is I need to post four or five more gray 80s Fords to offset his one beige Granada?

If not a shot of giggle gas will put it there. Brother in law runs a Zephyr with a mild 460. 10.05 is his best time. Fox bodies hook and all the parts are cheap. Much jelly.
