If its a V-8 car that would be a plus so you don't have to chase down heads and an intake. Pre 1980 Granadas have leaf spring rear ends, and either an 8 inch, 9 inch, 7.5 or a wierdo 8.7 according to some folks. Front suspension is the older Ford stuff, common.

If the interior is rough that could be a challenge finding the correct panels etc. I went through that with my Fairmont.

It would be a unique addition to U/SA.

Not likley a dime rocket BTW.

Good luck.
