my 1974 coupe

[coupe1974]

Here is my 1974 ford granada ghia coupe, iv had this car bout a year an a half. It came with an mot as some history dating back to new.its solid an mechanicly sound but haz alot of body rust which im sorting slowly. 1st thing I did wos completely serviced the engine an auto box, the engine is smooth an quite an the box is smooth an changes properly. Then I had a full sstainless system fitted as the old system wos rotten then I completely cleaned the underside an arches an waxoiled them as ther all solid with no sighns of welding ever an to keep em that way then I fitted a new rear valence as the old wos rotten then 4 new shockes referbed ronal alloys but still keep original steel rims as original with thid car. Still lots of work to do but its a fantastic drive an thes cars are very rare now so I think its a worth wile project.

My late Father had a 3.0 Ghia saloon in royal blue with black vinyl roof. Loved that car, nowhere near as tidy as your example

That's gorgeous. I was surprised the coupe shell was offered in the UK,I know they were regularly available in Europe. There's the Taunus tc1 and tc2 that had similar shape

Wasn't the Taunus the Cortina by another name. That looks like a Mk3 Cortina in coupé form.

Sort of similar in that the running gear is the same but with body differences. A mate of mine has a 2 door saloon Taunus and the front end is closer to a Mk3 'Tina, but the dash and the rear end of the body is Mk4.

It's odd that the European Granada coupe differed from the UK one.

Note the differing rear side window.
