Hotrod Granada

Description:
I'm not sure, but I think I may have the nicest Ford Granada in America. It's a 1975 Granada Ghia with a 500 horsepower 408 Stroker engine. The car was just painted with a Ford Ruby Red color, the same as my wife's 2016 Ford Explorer. I'm now in the process of removing all the tan factory seats and interior and installing all black leather seats and paneling.
1975 was the first year the Granada came out and we bought it brand new from our local dealer. It's gone through three engines starting with a 302 to a 351. It now has a 408 Stroker with a wild cam and dual quads. AT 35 miles an hour I can step on the gas and smoke the tires. It has a posi-traction rear end and a lifetime C-4 transmission warrantied by AAMCO. It's been sitting in our garage waiting for this day for 20 some years. It was time to bring it out and turn it into something that I don't think anyone else has?
