1974 Ford Torino Elite for sale at Gateway Classic Cars STL

Gateway Classic Cars of St. Louis is proud to offer a super clean 1974 Ford Gran Torino Elite. The Elite was produced in the mid 1970s as a two door personal luxury car meant to compete with the Monte Carlo and the Chrysler Cordoba. The Ford Elite was very similar to the Mercury Cougar of the time. This particular Elite has the 351 CID V8 under the hood which is backed by a C6 automatic transmission. The power is delivered to the rear wheels with a 3.00 final drive ratio. In this case the engine has been professionally rebuilt within the past 100 miles. The engine fires over effortlessly and the car drives wonderfully. The front suspension has been rebuilt as well as new brakes installed all around. Other goodies included new tires, a new vinyl top, new exhaust, and a new radio. This cruiser is ready to be driven and enjoyed. The car is finished in green with very nice paint. The vinyl top matches as well as the green cloth interior. The mileage of 69,789 is believed to be original and may explain why the car is in such great shape. If you're looking for a big comfortable cruiser with room for the whole family, this is the one. Large personal luxury cars like this were made to span large sections of highway effortlessly. With a large powerful V8 up front, plenty of power equipment, and a soft ride, it's tough to think of a better way to travel. You can see this 1974 Ford Gran Torino Elite in greater detail in our St. Louis showroom or at www.GatewayClassicCars.com. Please contact 618-271-3000 or [e-mail] with any questions.

Congratulations man, beautiful.

Beautiful work of art, I just love these cars, they're different. If only I could find one.

[@robgrear1142]

If this was a 2022 model, I would buy it in a second!

I hadn’t thought about this car in ages. I once owned a tan one that I really enjoyed. I used to cruise around “ diggin the scene with a gansta lean” listening to tunes on the FM radio. The best part was my little seat cover named Jackie in the passenger seat. Sadly, one day driving home from work, a drunk driver rear ended me sending the poor ford to the junkyard. Thanks for the memories.

I owned a tan one also it was a very good car.

Hi everyone, I am the proud owner of a 1975 Ford Gran Torino which I want to restore, which I am suggested to do to get some parts. I live in Venezuela in the City of Caracas. After watching the video, I was very encouraged to continue with the restoration of the vehicle.

[@shawnbowser9934]

In 75 the model name was Elite...They dropped the Gran Torino...If it had the 2 opera windows it is a 75 ELITE... I'm almost done with a restoration on one now....

Dude, was it a Gran Torino or elite ? They are two different cars

I had this exact car in 1975 I had wire spokes put on it👍🏻

[@darrellkidd5177]

I had this same car, but mine was triple black. Same wheels and trim, the dash looked exactly the same, except mine had the factory am/fm 8-track stereo (now that was “elite” 😊), with vinyl seats and a power driver’s seat, but still no power windows. I had the 351W, not the 351C that’s in this car; mine had single exhaust and no chrome air cleaner or valve covers (maybe those were just for the C’s?). I drove it all through high school and college; I had really wanted a ‘69 Mach 1, but I’d probably be dead if I had gotten one😮. Brings back a lot of memories.

[@gtpcruiser02]

Beginning in 1974 there was the Gran Torino and the Gran Torino Elite two separate models. In 1975 and 1976 they renamed it simply the Elite. Though they continued with the Gran Torino from 1972 until 1977 when it was renamed the LTD 2 until 1979 all basically similar mechanically and basically the same platform.

Underrated design (except the front, not exactly beautiful); muscular and classy. I really liked the green-themed interior, those seats seems ultra comfortable. Also loved the wheels design. Great car. 6:24 the 351 was running, you almost can't hear it!

Ford built some really nice cars during the early to mid 1970's. Then 1979 through the mid 2000's junk.

[@jpcodnia9133]

Not true In the 1990s (1995-1996) Ford built the most reliable high quality cars ever Ford Escort automatic power seat belts and the smoothest transmission ever a 5 speed automatic like no other I own 2 of those a sports 2 door HB and a SW. Best cars ever. 25 years later they start in a fraction of a second and the seats are brand new all the electrical intact and get up to 40 miles a gallon (30 combined with city)

I had one as a daily transport at school in 1989. Worst car ever😅

That's not a Torino. That is just a lousy lie the car is called elite and have the body of a another lame car named Montego. Torinos have a body with beautiful.lines on the sides that reach the tail lights. This joke called elite and its cousin the Montego never had them And the front of the car nowhere near a Torino

He doesn't know what it is but he owns the car and dedicates to restore them... ya funny guy
