Nicely done vid!! Driven Caminos most my life...but really dig the 67-72 Rancheros! Stying in/out is better I think than the GM versions. Sounds weird but the smell of 70s ford inbly interiors is awesome. Only a car geek gets it. Id love to have one for a daily...have a 67 El (30 yrs this mo)but got a little carried away with things. not worried about wear or tear its being carkjacked. 2 close calls before I parked it yrs ago .Sucks

I bought a 1953 Dodge Regent four door, about two months ago, in central California... Made in Windsor, Ontario... Basically a Plymouth Cranbrook from the firewall back, with a Dodge front clip... Good thing though, its nearly flawless exterior and interior... 230-6 flathead... Firestone wide whitewalls... Four wing vents plus the pop up front vent... No cracked nor chipped glass... No rust nor holes in any floorboards... Traded a Jeep CJ with a busted transfer case for this extra cool classic ...

I thank Ford Torino 72, for sharing the commercials of the wonderful Ford Mercury Gran Torino and Elite automobiles from the 70s, at the age of 22 I acquired my second car, a Gran Torino 73, it was love at first sight, it was like traveling in a flying carpet, thank you for making us remember those wonderful years.

I keep a 1975 Ford Elite, _The Bruised Banana_ , brown vinyl roof over yellow paintwork, 36,xxx miles. Ford built 372,249 Elites over 3 years, so it's still possible to find a well kept example.

The '74-'76 Elite models were very beautiful, sold well, but in reality were the first downsized T-Birds that ran simultaneously at mid-decade with the much larger real T-Bird, easing it into the downsized '77 model, when the Elite disappeared.

Don't worry too much about the 6 X 9" speakers. New ones are still available. Just make sure that any replacement has the same dimensions for depth as well as being a 6 X 9" design. Glad to see that the fender eyebrows and grill trim were still with the car!! The glass all appears to be in good shape. Overall a great start on the restoration!😀

What kind of tail lights did the Crusader have? Did it use the US 1957 Plymouth tail lights or some unique Canadian Dodge tail lights? Nice to see that this one has its OEM radio. They can be repaired. It will need a set of knobs unless they are somewhere in the car. You might be able to have someone use a computer and 3D printer to make new badges for the sides of the car unless you can find some OEM units that are unbroken.
