🤔 Growing up in the 70s and 80s, I always HATED station wagons. Worse yet, I really disliked Gran Torinos. I actually owned a 71 Torino GT for a little while in 1985-86, but that's a significantly different looking car. But even though ^this 72 Gran Torino wagon represents 2 different things I used to hate, I have to say that I really like this a lot! The 72 model year Gran Torinos look better than the later models. Also, this one looks much cooler with the front end dropped a bit. Despite being a freaking 1970s station wagon, which used to be considered the least cool cars around, this car looks better than 90% of the everyday cars produced in the last 20 years.

The 90s to 2007 Taurus wagon was almost this car. Had a lift hatch only instead of this fantastic tailgate. I bought an early 2000 in 2001 for $5500 and drove it for 220000mi and 15 years. Still looked new, but it started lurching, stumbling and sometimes fought you to start. Figured that was the end of the line for my wife depending on it. They haven't built another like it. Guess that was the end of an era.

'70-'71, Ford produced 7 429 wagons. 6 of those had the Country Squire trim. 4 had the CJ ram-air shaker hood. Only one was a "plain-Jane" car with a GT hood. It was/is a 429 SCJ with drag-pack option and a 4 speed top-loader big input shaft manual transmission and I've owned that matching numbers car since August 1981. I bought it in a wholesale 6 cars group from a Pontiac/Toyota dealership in CT. It had a broken aluminum bellhousing and a blown clutch, plus it didn't run because of ignition points being bad. I searched for a cast iron bellhousing and that's when I found out that it was a one of one car. The car had only 34k miles on it. I still have the car and it didn't take much to restore in correctly.

That car is so sick. I'd love to paint it for ya. Some sick cool color like root beer brown pearly maybe? You could get some cool floor mats and paint the dashpad the same color as outside. I've always loved station wagons because my parents had at least 4 different ones when I was growing up. Us kids would ride in the back with the dogs to the drive in theatre. We went on vacations in them. They're really practical and heavy duty. That tailgate. So cool.

And, SUBSCRIBED 😎... VERY cool ol 72 FACTORY BB wagon with neat history as well! I actually had a green 73 Gran Torino 400 auto in the early 90s I cruised for about half a year, and I am actually a *Chevy guy" lol, but I always liked that early 70s era of the Torino. I couldn't pass up on the ol Ford as it only had 60,000 some miles, everything worked and was a straight ol car with just minor wheelip 1/4 rust that had started (with the wheel moldings and all etc). Anyways, THIS vid of your wagon came up in my feed, and I HAD to check er out! Again, VERY cool ol wagon. I'm currently redoing a 66 El Camino FACTORY 396 4 spd truck driveline restoration (rebuilt motor, 4 spd, all new rubber suspension) and similar to you, plan on using it for my "shop truck", haulin a bit of stuff etc. I just really love to see people that are KEEPING the ol cars on the road and KEEPING history alive. Plus? Really dig the RARE ol Caminos, Rancheros, wagons ,panels. 😎 Peace ✌️
