Here is a brief excerpt taken from the auction description:

Making its debut in 1968, Ford named its Gran Torino after Turin, still then an impossibly exotic place at a time when only 5% of Americans held a passport.

And if you think the name’s familiar then you might be thinking of the car Starsky and Hutch used. Or, of course, Clint Eastwood’s foul-mouthed epic of the same name. In fact, IMCDB features no fewer than 22 pages of hits when you search this model, which goes some way to explaining its popularity, even today.

Now featuring some well-judged mechanical upgrades that include electronic ignition, a new fuel pump, an Edelbrock carburettor, Hedman Hedders, and a dual ‘Cherrybomb’ exhaust system, it is now better equipped to deal with 21st century roads while retaining all of its classic looks.

And noise - because no one converts money into sound more effectively than the Yanks - this one upholds that fine tradition in no small way.
