A Los Angeles shop took a budget-grade 1966 Chevy Nova SS and ignored the car’s rare factory L79 history entirely, swapping in a supercharged, built LS1 making 550 horsepower instead.

This 1972 Ford Gran Torino Sport arrived during the one year Ford dared to redesign the Torino from the ground up, then walked the styling back within twelve months. Under the hood sits a 351 Cobra Jet, a Cleveland-block V8 carrying real Boss 351 lineage. Here’s why this specific model year stands apart from every Torino before or after it.

Overshadowed by its Trans Am sibling’s spoilers and stripes, the Formula was and remains the second-gen Firebird’s best-kept sleeper secret.
