Picked up another heap today

A mid-70's Gran Torino is one of my not-so-fast dream cars. I love the five slot mag wheels, they look good on anything:

Looks like its coming along alright. Keep up the good work!

Well, at last I finally got it moving! transmission was just bone dry... added about 5 quarts of fluid and it finally goes into gear! Of course something went wrong, lol...

There appears to be a really strange starter solenoid issue. My guess is somehow the contacts inside the solenoid welded together: the starter refuses to stop turning! The only way to get it to stop is by disconnecting the battery. I'll replace the solenoid tomorrow and hopefully it fixes the issue.

Fords will do that with a weak battery.

First thing I thought about when I saw the car was Starsky and Hutch!
