Pics of Gunther(the Granada car)-

It was an original owner car since 1/70. Bought locally at German Motors in San Francisco, CA. The car was handed down to his Grandson. He installed a Weber 1bbl and could'nt get it running right. I assume he got frustrated and sold it.

I took possesion of it mid December. Luckily, he saved all the old parts. I rebuilt the stock Solex, removed the Weber and installed the Solex along with the stock air cleaner. For some reason, he parted out a ignition distributor and made some sort of frankenstein setup. I removed it and put together a good dist with fresh points(yeah, I know). He installed an electric fuel pump and used vacuum line for fuel line. No wonder the trunk reeked of gas! Anyway, I'm in the process of gathering parts to go back to the stock fuel pump arrangement. I found a huge vacuum leak at the booster, threw in a 39cent seal and bingo! Smoooooth idle and great throttle response.

I picked thru my stash and added the euro lights, rubbed out the paint, polished the chrome, and numerous other things to make it more driveable. Brakes are OK, and I just did a little cleanup under the hood. It's been a great driver so far.

The car also came with the infamous blue binder, folding key and pages of service/repair receipts. As you can see it also has the original CA blue plates. It is also a numbers match car.

Couldn't be in better hands!

Sweetness, what a nice car! Looks quite a bit like the one you and looked at earlier this year. I bet the guys at your work haven't a clue why you drive it every day. Gotta love single barrels!!

Don't rub on that Granada to much or it'll look like mine.

Sweet 02. What fog/driving lights are on that bumper?

They're a pair of Lucas fog lights. I've been searching for another cover to match the one I have. They're the same units that were used by Shelby on his modified Mustangs of the same era. They're also the same units Ford used on the California Editions in '68.

Very nice car! Looks like you helped save one.

Did you have it repainted, or the grandson maybe?
