This is totally hopeless. Except for GRM Granada

NMNA Ford Granada that needs engine.  granada  This car looks truly hopeless.  With a NA 2JZ it could be great.

$1000 obo 

Bad era for cars, especially ford, but that was not the worst. I'd rock it in a heartbeat. It it truly isn't rusty, that's well worth putting an engine in. I'd prolly stick with a late '90s 302/T5, though. 
I always wonder, is the current owner dumb enough to not be able to tell the car has 113K miles? If not 2? In this case, pretty clean for 100K, but still quite obvious. Or does he assume buyers are that dumb? Oh, well. Not in cards for me, anyway. 

It may not be pretty, but it's pretty to me. That thing is a cheap old RWD car that isn't too big...it's ripe for challenge glory.

The fairmont was a fox body; was the Granada, as well? I always assumed so. If so, hop up parts are, well, fox...

Unfortunately not this one according to Wikipedia:

The Granada derives its rear-wheel drive chassis from the 1960–1965 Ford Falcon (effectively giving the model line mechanical commonality with the first-generation Ford Mustang and Mercury Cougar). 

 2nd Gen were Fox body though

I crack up  

10 photos with 8, some weak, interior photos.  

Be cautious of the front upper control arms.

I had a 1977 where the upper control arms failed right before the ball joints. The upper arms ar loaded, so when the arms snap the front drops to the bump stops. 

If you are brave, you can swap control arms on the side of the road with a basic hand tools and a spring compressor. 

When you can't let old, outdated technology go.

A blower out the hood will fix it.

Can be cool.......

Man, that would make for a GREAT sleeper. 

Ford 4.6 32 valve  and that would be awesome. 

The Sloppy Fairmont recipe would be perfect here.. turbo LS 9 second Granada.   Keep the hubcaps.

Keep the appearance as is, park next to Logdog's baby blue Mustang II at Concours d'Lemons, Win.

Sort of?  The early Granadas were rebadged Mavericks which were continuations of the Falcon.  The later Granadas were Fox based, even though they are visually very similar.

All I remember of them is the suspensions were made with that very special rubber Ford used in the late 70s that swelled up into gelatinous goo if exposed to oil.
