Elite

Unusual 1976 Ford Elite, 351 V8, PS, PB, A/C, Automatic, Good Driver

Welcome to Street Dreams as we celebrate our 26th year in the classic and muscle car business. As horsepower waned during the smog-sapped 1970's, more attention was paid to comfort and convenience, particularly in the "personal luxury" class. Although pioneered by Ford's own T-Bird, by the mid-'70's they needed something to compete with the less-expensive Chevrolet Monte Carlo. Largely based on Mercury's Cougar, Ford introduced the Elite as the top trim level in the 1974 Gran Torino line. Interestingly, in its final year of 1976 the Elite became a stand alone model that few people remember today. Our cool 1976 Ford Elite is a great example of the model and a time capsule for 1970's personal luxury coupes. Beneath the long hood is Ford's stalwart 351W V8 (H), an engine renowned for its reliability and the ease with which it accepts modifications. Additional features include power steering, power front disc brakes, air conditioning, automatic transmission, correct paint and trim codes (P 47NG, T DG), rare dealer-installed AM/FM/8-Track "Quadrasonic" stereo, full instrumentation, and 215/75R15 tires wrapped around steel wheels with original covers. For fans of 1970's American iron it doesn't get much better than a massive triple-green coupe that feels as if it's floating on a cloud. A great car for someone interested in joining the old car hobby. This cool and comfortable cruiser is a lot of car for the money, comes with a Deluxe Marti Report, and needs only a new caretaker. Another unusual find from the team that can make your dream a reality. Disco tapes and bell bottom jeans not included.
