I had to watch that dust blow a few times.. thanks for the laugh!

It peppered to the Ole Man for sure..

I like that special tool that you are using to clean the windshield.

I believe I need to pitch the idea of sending it to market... Profitable for sure..

[@gregbreeden9133]

Thanks for bringing that Granada back to life! Just goes to show that these cars are tougher than people give them credit for. I actually have two Ford Granadas...a 1977 and a 1978 that I take to car shows. They always get A LOT of attention!

[@RevStoration]

Greg...I love working on the rigs that others would not... They will also get attention because it will be the only one at the show.

[@danhigbee2283]

I had a 1977 bought it new straight six four speed on floor they called it overdrive bench seat tranny was top loaders with a high 4th ratio 60 mph was about 2000 rpm would tach out about 6100 rpm it was a freeway runner and could keep up high speed all day. Wish I had keep it now. Best run was Youngstown Ohio to McGuire AFB NJ 5 hours 15 min figured the air force would get me out of jail at least

[@karendejong3473]

I had a 1977 Ford Granada 4 door, light blue. I loved that car! Wish I still had it ! 😆

[@richardstanbery7136]

I think that one of the things I like best about your channel is the heartwarming relationship between father and son. Its just one of the best things in the world to see. Carry on guys, the lord is being lifted up and his people are being encouraged with what you are doing! Happy new year!

We absolutely enjoy our time together for sure.. Thanks for watching..

A lot of good parts for your 66 mustang . Disk brake conversion right there in your woods cant beat that.

[@patrickburke7929]

My Dad in 1979 Bought a coupe rite off the Showroom floor... It was 2-tone Black over Silver with aftermarket Dealer installed chrome Wire Wheels. Interior was Dark red... A inline 6 was the power plant. After 2 years my Dad needed something with more Pep. So mom got the Granada while Dad bought a new 1981 Mercury Marquis Brougham. In 1987 I became legal driving age so Dad got himself the all New 1987 F-150 XLT Lariat, mom got the Mercury & I got the Granada with 70.000 miles as my 1st Car...I was So Happy with that Granada. I remember Dad took it to Ford where it had been Serviced since New to have the while Car gone through so I would have No Problems on my 1st Day as it as mine. Dad even took it to Goodyear for New Tire's. I took great pride in that Granada & wish, like many still had my 1st car...

Datsun had a similar spare tire system. It was mainly to save space, but once you got your tire fixed you'd never get that spare squished back down to size.
