1980 Ford Granada 2-Door Sedan

Description

OFFERED WITHOUT RESERVE

The Ford Granada was introduced in 1975 as a compact sedan, slotted between the Maverick and the Torino. During the Granada's 7-year production run, a lot of lineup changes happened at Ford, and the Granada had a front-row seat. When the Maverick and Torino were replaced by the Fairmont and LTD II, the Granada remained slotted in the middle. The Granada saw a major platform revision in 1981, switching to the legendary Fox platform. For 1983, the Granada nameplate was replaced by the LTD's though the platform remained the same until it was replaced by the Taurus in 1986.

This final-year first-generation 1980 Ford Granada left the factory in Candyapple Red with a Dark Red interior. It is currently wearing a red repaint performed under prior ownership and it has a white vinyl top. Under the hood is a carbureted 250ci Ford inline-six cylinder engine mated to a three-speed automatic transmission. This vehicle features wire wheel covers, chrome bumpers, and an AM radio.

This 1980 Ford Granada is now offered at no reserve with a clean California title in the seller’s name.

Additional Information

The seller states, "I purchased the vehicle from my friend who is 91 years old and is in a retirement home. I understand she redid the paint job and the vinyl top, upholstery is original. The A/C needs freon. Could use a little love on the dashboard. Other than this, nice car."
