1973 Ford Gran Torino Sport "Q" code

I am new to the FordMuscle community. Boy am I glad to find some other Ford/Torino people. I resently bought a '73 Gran Torino Sport with the 351 Cleveland and a 4 spd. I like the look of the car and intended on restoring it, but I have discovered that parts are hard to find. The car is from Arizona and is completely rust free. It does need paint badly though. It came with what I thought were original bucket seats, but I don't see this particular style in any books. From what I see, the original bucket seats looked alot like the ones found in '71 - '73 Mustangs. If anyone could give me some feedback on where to find parts such as seats, carpet, weatherstripping, etc. I would greatly appreciate it. I would love to find out more about Torinos, in particular the 73 Torino Sport "Q" code cars. Thank you.

Welcome. Great car choice. Please show us some pics and then we'll make some suggestions!!!

Dearborn Classics is a good place for all things ford no one remakes your door panels sorry to say and a good set runs 300$ on ebay from back east.

Ive got the exact same car cept it is not a 4 speed


The factory buckets are the type that came in mustangs lets see pictures of yours and then maybe we can tell ya what yours are from BTW I have a set of factory seats for this car for sale if ya need them as ive got 3 torinos and 4 sets of seats.

Good choice. It takes but a bit of looking and you should find what you need. Those Cleveland's will RUN and the Q code is relatively rare. Best regards. John--Las Vegas.

Thanks for the feedback. I appreciate it very much.

I have to be honest, I don't know how to attach photos to a new thread. I would like to send you some pictures but I will need some coaching on the finer points of attaching files. All and any help greatly appreciated.

Host them somewhere like photobucket or imageshack, and post the link here.
