Totally awesome. Had one when I was 17. Wish I had it today. Now I'm 59. Old man.

[@marcanthony854]

I’m right there with you, I’m 60, at 18 had a 71 Gt 4speed, a year later a 70 convertible Gt, then a 72 Gran Torino sport. I miss those days I really do!

[@ralphneal9743]

My Uncle Wayne had a 73 Exactly the Same Color and Interior as this Car ! I’ll Never Forger I took my Drivers Test in it when I was 17 !! I MISS YOU UNCLE WAYNE !! REST WITH GOD !!!

[@rodneybrand8521]

WOW this brings back so many memorys....I hired in at Ford in the middle of model change in June of 73 and the torinos were beautiful.. we were working 10 hrs a day and 8 on Saturday...couldn't build enough of them...good job restoring an icon of Ford...made in America..cheers 🇺🇸🇺🇸

[@johnpyle8971]

I had that car with the CJ in it in green when I was a teenager. Sold it for $1500. I slap myself quite often!

[@brianmars3370]

Watching this makes me regret selling my '72 back in 1988 for $300.00. Nice job, Man!

[@robatty143]

Damn thats a pack of dirt sticks, now. At least you got to enjoy a car like that! Hell yeah from Youngstown, sir

[@duanemcdonald3895]

I love you and miss your beautiful family too and hope you are doing well and I love you. ❤️ ❤😂🎉😢😢🎉😂❤😮😅😊😊😅😮

[@leonardgilbreath9004]

I paid $300 for mine and had to replace the left side quarter panel door and front finder and rear bumper it took me over 20 yrs to find the quarter panel you did a great job on this thumbs up.

[@stansdds]

Beautiful restoration! I bought a 72 Gran Torino Sport, metallic dark green, vinyl top, fastback, with hood scoop back in the 1980's. Nice car, but mine had the 400 - 2V engine, but I did build a high performance 400 and that turned that car into a mean muscle car. Rust was a constant battle. Sadly, I sold it in the 1990's.

[@grandcrappy]

Oh love that car. Had looks, pretty decent performance, still muscle car dna with a lil lower, more manageable compression.

[@GregAlanEdwardsEmmanuelRidge]

My Dad had one in Hunter Green with the silver stripe. Then bought a matching Ford Ranchero. Two of the coolest, meanest cars I ever saw.

[@danielwillliams9669]

Now that is a true "Blue Oval" restoration. One of the best restorations I have ever seen. Hats off and I envy you! I liked how you changed the grill - very nice touch and a great improvement!

[@wallyworld2174]

I had a 73 ranchero gt green with silver stripes in high school. Man this brings back memories, thanks for shareing

[@Wildstar40]

Beautiful Torino. Great job restoring it I would love to own that car.

[@truck6859]

They got a lot of use out of the Cleveland engines ❤

[@stephencaine1548]

Dude, excellent job on the restore! This is one beautiful car.

[@oldnick4707]

man!!, very cool! you started with a purdy complete car too! my brother had a dark green one with a Cleveland. he put a Rhoads solid cam& lifter set up ( I remember he had to adjust them a lot), headers and an H pipe, big-assed truck tires on it! that suckered was very fast. always felt like it would fly into a million pieces when you got on it, but it just made a ton of power and kinda scared the shit out of you a little. still remember the sound.

[@christianlopez534]

Increíble...mi abuelo tuvo uno igual, quisiera uno....saludos!

[@arturoramirez1260]

Hermoso tuvimos uno del mismo modelo en mi infancia

[@stephenboldrey9973]

It’s awesome just the way it is. I had one just like it with a 351 Cleveland C6 transmission same color in high school I wish to God I never sold it . If I only New . I’ve been looking for one every sense .

[@elgatonativodigital3954]

BE-A-U-TI-FUL

[@miguelcastaneda7236]

neighbor had one 65,000 miles sold it for 900$.....damm

[@BustedWalletGarage]

Can’t believe he put those shit bumpers back on that car.

[@Wildstar40]

Those bumpers are better than any bumpers you will find on any of today's plastic crap cars.

[@BustedWalletGarage]

LincolnTek ok , I’ll play your game. Those bumpers are way less sexy and some proper ones (minus the vertical dildos glued on buy Ford in response for the Safety Sissies).

[@Wildstar40]

They are still better than today's stuff no matter what you call it. By the way ... game over.

[@leatherwoodjay]

Don’t be a hater.....that’s a beautiful TROPHY WINNING car.

[@BustedWalletGarage]

J. Leatherwood my dad had a ‘72 Grand Tornio w/ a 351 Cleveland. Those had the best lines other than the ‘69 Torino Fastback.

[@toddlecher4097]

i'm 37, my first real car was 69 grand torino 37000 orig miles only torino flaw all the 3 on the tree autos

[@lehmann540]

why do people think Q code is cobra jet. cobra jets had aluminum intakes and holly carbs along with ajustable valve train.

[@buddygallagher1193]

I have 72 High School.

[@Kimberlyexpects]

EXCELLENT job, no doubt about it. But I think I would have gone with the 1972 Torino front end. The 73 front is hard to take, not Fords finest work.

[@djackthatsright348]

Nice job overall, but...I would've found a 72'. Reason being is really no matter what you do to a 73', it'll still have that fright-train ugly attached to it due to the front end.

[@angeldawnmorningstar]

nice ..but..I prefer the ' Starter&Clutch ' car better 🤣
