Used Rare 1977 Granada coupe with unusual options Good Running Condition for sale in Santa Monica, CA

Vehicle Description

DESPITE THE GEOGRAPHICALLY-TRIVIAL BACKGROUND CONTAINED IN ALL THE PICTURES OF THE CAR, THIS IS THE ACTUAL CAR FOR SALE AND IT IS CURRENTLY LOCATED IN SANTA MONICA AT AN UNDISCLOSED AREA AVAILABLE FOR INSPECTION BY SERIOUS BUYERS. THERE IS SIGNIFICANT ROOF RUST-THROUGH ON THE CAR AND AROUND BACK WINDOW.

Available is a quite-rare-in-this-day-and-age 1st Generation Ford Granada coupe. '77 was also the last year for the round headlights and the best-looking of the Granadas, and I am sure most other people would agree. Automatic, 302 2-barrel, a/c, tilt-wheel, p/steering, p/brakes, p/windows (a rare option on the Granadas; especially on the coupe), AM/FM 8-track stereo (Yes, it works and changes programs the way it should), and digital movement "rolling drum" factory clock (keeps perfect time).

The car starts, runs, drives, and shifts good, both at local street and highway speeds, and the original C-4 Automatic Transmission shifts solidly and smoothly in all gears and has that awesome "Nova-like TH-350 utilitarian hum" to it! A little over 55,000 miles (believed to be original mileage given the condition of the fully-intact and pliable factory seat upholstery and door panels, although I have no paper work to prove it. I ALSO HAVE TWO ORIGINAL BUILD SHEETS TO THE CAR! Although this car is technically just as rare as a Porsche 356 clam shell Speedster now-a-days, it is far from the caliber of a Porsche, of course. Some may call the car a "rusted pile of shit", a "heap", or just something not to deal with, but the car has made one cross-country drive already without a problem or overheating.

A complete top-end engine rebuild was done in September of 2020 with rebuilt Surefire cylinder heads from Autozone and a new radiator installed, a new Felpro one-piece rubber oil pan gasket was installed in December of 2020, and a wealth of other parts installed over the past 2 years, all carefully annotated in a detailed list below.

AT THIS POINT: I HAVE A LITTLE OVER $4,200 IN PARTS ALONE, NOT INCLUDING ALL THE TIME AND LABOR INVESTED IN IT. I AM MY OWN LIFE-TIME CAR MECHANIC, THEREFORE I WAS ABLE TO DO ALL THE WORK MYSELF. Otherwise, I would have had close to 10-grand into the car at this point, as a result of spending insane sheister amounts of dollars on labor alone at some repair garage.

CLEAN CALIFORNIA TITLE IN MY NAME, SO NO NEED TO WORRY ABOUT SOME SORT OF MONKEY-BUSINESS WITH ME FLOATING AROUND THE TITLE OR OTHER MISREPRESENTATION. THE SELLER OF THIS CAR IS THE ACTUAL OWNER OF THE CAR: ME!

This Granada has been a labor of love, but now I must finally depart ways with it and move on with my life, and try to save up for some sort of "meager" retirement savings! An itemized list of all parts I have installed on the car in the past 2 years of owning it is below:
