If I'm not mistaken the 78 Granada is a Fox body as was the 78 Fairmont. The importance of this of course is that so is the Mustang, meaning just about every performance upgrade for a Mustang will also bolt onto that Granada. A few years back one of the big Mustang parts suppliers had a Fairmont with a Saleen suspension, supercharged 5.0, Tremec 5spd and a host of other upgrades. I think they used cop wheels with hubcaps and basically had the ultimate street sleeper. I think they even hid one tail pipe to give the illusion of single exhaust and used really quiet mufflers. If I remember right this car ran in the low 11's if not the high 10's and could hold it's own on an autocross course. If it were me I'd keep it, drop in a hopped up smallblock, brakes and suspension and terrorize the local ricers.
