351 Cleveland

[LoboGunLeather]

1972 Grand Torino with the 351-C. Very good car, back in the day. It did not work so well with two growing boys, traded in on a 1978 Impala sedan that also featured air conditioning and cruise control!

'72 Ranchero for me.....that Cleveland engine was a strong runner. Backed up with a C6 tranny IIRC

This was my dad's special ordered 1972 Ranchero GT the day he bought it.
351 4V C-6 trans. C code 300 hp @5400 rpm.
It had the instrument cluster with a tachometer and gauges
instead of all the idiot lights.

Looks awful familiar! Mine had fake wood paneling on the sides, and was a gold/brown color. Great cars!
