There was a great Twilight Zone episode when a shady used car salesman was cursed to always have to tell the truth lol

[@robertc49]

11:00 one of the lessons my father taught me was to know the car you're driving and know where the tires are. Second lesson was to always park with your tires pointed straight ahead. I miss him. This is my first comment on you and Jens channels. I found you two weeks ago and have been binge watching them. Keep doing what you're doing. We love it!

[@ronaldreiter1357]

Your trip in this awesome auto is probably my favorite videos you've done. A true masterpiece. Hope you didn't let someone lowball you on this. Just the piece of mind you'd get purchasing this is worth untold dollars.

[@randalbloomquist7812]

My Dad bought a new one in 75. I got my driver's license in 74 and was allowed to drive it occasionally. Very nice driving comfortable car!

[@shaneminor2367]

Hey Chris, hate to see the car go because this is the car that brought me to your channels. As someone who is like minded and close (WV) I really love the content. Keep up the great work. I really appreciate your effort into making videos for all of us to enjoy.

That would still be a £15-£20k car here in the UK, man you guys are so lucky.

[@pete79602]

It’s a great video where y’all bought it and all that. People should def watch it. It’s come a long way and it’s not some junk box. That’s a nice classic ready to go for people who want to get into the hobby

$6500 is a fair price. You, Jen and Gus have a lot of memories with that machine. Gus is going to miss it.

Always good to see you and the GUSMAN, I thought this was going to be Jens daily driver since you have sold her Mustang and her Honda is up for sale. Hope your getting her something to drive as I would think shes not fond of walking! Keep making those videos! Good luck with your car sales!

Its a great start to a project car for somebody that is attracted to these big ole luxo boats. I think the price is a bit high BUT hey all you need is the right buyer as again you don't find them in this good of condition (overall its not bad) normally so again it's a great starting point.

Hi Chris, Yeah, I feel ya about having too many cars. In your business, rotating stock is a given. Like you said, you can't keep them all. Keep up the good work. I enjoy the channels and all the content you provide. Keep up the good work, and I will be following your adventures and purchases.

[@libertysgarage8411]

$6500 is more than fair asking price for that car.

[@corydriver7634]

100%, I owned one of these back in the early 80s and would love to get this one. That 351 in this car will get 22 mpg in this car IF you don’t have a heavy foot, plus it’s got power to spare when you need it. I also think the Raptor liner is a great solution to the trashed vinyl top. Sure it’s not perfect but it gets the job done and it looks nice.

[@schlick93ify]

I’m from Baltimore Maryland I grew up there I live in Justin Texas now been in Texas for 21 years I moved out here when I was 18, I traveled the world as a kid, I been to Germany, Switzerland, I been all over the world traveling with my uncle he was in the service as a medic way back in the day, it’s sad what happened to the patapsco bridge in Baltimore I used to drive over that bridge all the time with my family.

[@Chr.U.Cas1622]

👍👌👏 Thank you very much for having cute little Gus 💚 in this video. I simply love this lil' guy. 2) I also absolutely love the look of these car models. Especially the front and the side lines (the back not so much). I already watched your epic Gran Torino road trip at least 2 times and will now do it again. Without having the storage possibilities on Jen's former property any longer, a lot of vehicles simply have to go. Also to make space for new projects. I'm pretty sure that Jen would want to keep this beautiful red Ford if you would have a big property and a big shop/barn to store stuff. Although you're right of course. You simply can't keep 'em all. 3) I wouldn't like to see the old wrecker going but with the "new" rollback you may not need the good old workhorse any longer!? Thanks a lot for making explaining recording editing uploading and sharing. Best regards luck and especially health to all 4 of you.

[@oboewankenobo8675]

I avoid that Washington Crossing bridge if at all possible. It was made when cars were a lot narrower. It really gets dicey when the vehicles coming toward you come over on your side and their mirrors are extended. (Especially SUVs and pickup trucks) Smack! Or they force you to the right and you scrape your passenger mirror against the side of the bridge steel. Also if you have nice expensive wheels imagine what the two on on the passenger side look like after rubbing and scraping for 200 yards from the bridge wheel limiter’s.

[@MidNightGamble]

Loved the Driving Tour, and those wheels. Thanks!

[@westhavenor9513]

Egad, those bumpers! Thanks, Ralph.

[@TheBillybump]

Chris, say it ain't so, not the gran torino. My Dad had a 73 gran torino in blue when I was in college. I used to drive that thing, it was fun. Sadly, my days for those type of cars is past. I really enjoyed the cruise on a sunny day. I was just wondering if you had officially turned into a used car dealership for your state with all the vehicles. No more snail, selling the Ambu and Torino and the fox body mustang too, oh well it was fun while it lasted. Thanks for the great videos and please keep them coming. Over and out for now.
