Didn't we just share a bunch of Pinto wagons over in our part of the forums @74stang2togo ? Check out the last page of the shared craigslist ads. I shared a couple wagons that are near the Atlanta area. The white one speaks to me for some reason.......
You don't see a lot of Mavericks. That would get attention.
Ok maybe I missed it in another thread as it was not clear here. You went from building a turbo 2.3 to selling the car. You did mention a Falcon this past spring. But what was the reason you sold the car? I really liked your 85!
I'm not a huge fan of the wagons. It would HAVE to be a small bumper car. or at least converted to small bumpers. There are a lot of really fast 2.3 Pinto's though. One guy in the low 9's or 8's. But easy to build, looks sorta like a Maverick and fairly easy to find decent cheap cars.
I'm on board with a Granada. However, I'd be more geared toward the '81-'82 that shares the fox platform.I think that one day, I want to do one of these:
That is all. Please carry on.

Speaking of: https://lexington.craigslist.org/ctd/d/somerset-1981-ford-granada/7198592336.html
Even has the same hubcaps as the one you posted.
Same platform as the fox, so putting in a center console would likely entail no more than putting bucket seats in it and converting to the lever-style hand brake. Other than that, the seats and dash all look to be standard fox platform fare.Wow... Official Hi-Jack in progress:
That is a nice one. How great would that look with the bumpers tucked in? I'd otherwise, try and keep it the same on the outside (the red top would probably need to go). I really like those wheels.
Yes... I can see it now: Saddle leather interior, stock block 347, quiet exhaust, sound deadening everywhere, the best 4-link suspension combo I can reasonably put together, largest brakes I can fit beneath the stock wheels, traction lock, all-season sport tires, and a good auto transmission. A nitrous bottle buried on each side of the trunk for the occasional occasion...
BTW... I really like the rear bench seat in those. I might have to figure a way to put a center console into one that looks like it should have been there.
I like them because they look like a miniature version of my Grand Marquis.My parents had a '79 Fairmont Futura and an '82 Granada L when I was born. I remember both of them being unreliable as hell, and the Fairmont ending up on it's side in a farmer's field, and the Granada ending up being yard art for ten years before it was scrapped. That could be why I don't like them to this day.
I used to work with a guy that had one like that. For years he drove a clapped out red 4 door Granada to work. One day it wouldn’t start and he drove his backup Granada. It was a white 2 door like the one in the picture. But his had a black bucket seat interior with a floor shift AT along with magnum 500 wheels and a 302. The car was CLEAN. I was shocked. This was 2002. I was laid off from that company in 03. He still had the car but I lost track of the guy.I think that one day, I want to do one of these:

Mine doesn't weigh 3000 even with a 302 and a slushbox. It'll weigh even less with the 4v and the steeeeek.At 3000 lbs the ll needs a diet, thats the v8 car so -v8 weight= slightly less porky.
