How did this Gran Torino age so gracefully?

[@leonardwalton6668]

My parents had a 1969 Torino GT. 428 SCJ. And a 1972 Grand Torino. I miss my Parents and the cars we had.😢

[@bryduhbikeguy]

I've seen allot of Torinos, but not one This Perfect. What an awesome example of a Great design.

[@19chucki74]

The Gran Torino SportsRoof is one of my favorite Fords of all time. This is beautiful.

[@michaeldisomma9476]

Awesome to see Dennis again!

[@johnnymason2460]

One of my aunts actually had one of these Gran Torinos. It was a bright yellow. She loved that car. I actually miss that car.

[@sayeager5559]

I had a 73 in high school. Loved it.

[@toddclark332]

Really cool Grand Torino the color and motor package definitely the one to own Dennis have a great weekend sir

[@42itously]

Excellent point on how the metallic gold better reveals the lines of the car. I've stared and admired many of these in person and I'm more clearly seeing the lines in your video than ever via a flat screen tv. Thanks for doing what you do! ~ Mike ~

Always Loved the Gran Torino . Beautiful car!!

[@jamesrobbins8938]

I had one in green.....a four door 302 small block.....was a sweet ride 😎😎😎 the 1970 with the 429 cobra jet was the one to have....

[@steves9905]

gorgeous. Love the 72. 1972 was peak style year for the American auto companies...all previous years of style bubbling up to what was really was beautiful and harmonious, before the bumper laws changed it all

[@tony8099]

She is gorgeous 👍👍🤜🤜

[@JamesJackson-dq2tj]

Sweet gan torino man! Beautiful car!!

[@ScottALaFollette]

Excellent highlight choice Dennis. An exemplary example of a seldom seen as equipped Torino Sport. Often overlooked in general because of the Mopar and GM intermediates offered before and after 1972. As I was enjoying your conversation with this dedicated owner - caretaker, I was recalling - observing the same interesting features & facts that you astutely, in your inimitable style, pointed out. Thanks for what you do Dennis…. & Crew. 💪👍👏

[@sauluribe7082]

This in my opinion was their best year model ever before bulging bumpers despite notorious gas mileage.

[@toddbonin6926]

Totally agree

[@ScottALaFollette]

🎯 Exactly, before the 5 mph bumpers.

[@M_IkeLeBlanc]

Totally agree! 👍👍👍

[@BilllieverMinistry]

The fastback Torinos of 1972-1973 are some of the most stylish, handsome cars ever built. For something even more rare and different, try finding the same year range in the Mercury Montego. Fastback Montegos are almost unheard of these days.

[@mgirard7161]

My dad had one back in 72/73 in chocolate brown with the laser stripe. Same cobra jet but floor mounted auto. Brings back memories.

[@n.mowbray4985]

That Gold color looks dynamic in the sun. The 351 cobra jet is a rare beast that Ford put some leftover boss-351 parts in, Ford lowered compression with pistons. Great example balance luxury/sport.

[@markcmann]

Amazing condition, thanks for sharing.

[@etiennegregoire3091]

I missed out on its sister at Mercury the Montego. About 10yrs ago a Montego MX 4spd came up for sale in Montreal. The dealer who had sent it to auction. It looked so perfect....wonder where it might be now

[@jasonrackawack9369]

Neat car I remember the old Cars magazine review saying it looked like "a land locked tuna sucking wind"......😂🤣😅

My first car, 351C-2bbl, power bench seat, $500 in '78.

[@johnhenrymcmahon6878]

Hey big bro Denis! Oh man, what a beautiful Gran Torino. WOW-her luscious curves and loooong lines just POP in that awesome gold color, too. Oh man. I got gold stripes on top of my ever present white tube socks (baseball stockings) like the perpetual 80's JV baseball jock I am, and this here GT just knocked my floppy sneakers right off my stocking feet lol🤣🤪! As a huge "Starsky and Hutch" fanboy, I am a sucker for these Torino's and this one is extra special. Thanks for bringing her to us, man. JV Johnny ⚾⚾

[@phredrocks]

Great car. Childhoods dad had one in green, i think 74.

[@darylb5564]

That car has aged very well. I didn’t like them when they were new

[@ScottALaFollette]

In 1972 the overall design was a conundrum. Combining curved and angular styling languages made it “playfully uncomfortable” to the eye in 1972 and forward. Not long after into the 1980s, the 1960s and 70s Ford Torinos became more appealing stylistically to many, or at least to me.

[@wilburshaw9330]

I ordered a 1972 Grand Torino sport from the factory. I was 18. Fastback, light blue. White vinyl top. Factory mags. $4,200! Drove it 5 years & bought a corvette. Still have the vette. Miss the Torino still though.

[@gene978]

So under appreciated. I loved the Torinos. Compared to a Malibu the Malibu looks plain.

In my neighborhood, there was a vintage but clean little gas station where all Ford guys hung out. A good ol boy had approximately 3-4 of the 429SCJ 1971 TORINO's. rip Scotty

The ford torino is my dream car, I hope to one day snag one. But I am 21 so I have time, as long as no one destroys them lmao

[@datnguyen1615]

How beautiful American car design and great character back then?

[@mtrgv]

A one year only front end design. The 1972 Torino fastback was a beautiful design, while the 1973 was awful with the 5 mph bumpers.

[@THROTTLEPOWER]

Nice!!!!

[@ranhat7290]

Mine was red. 302 was gutlass. My brothers torino was identical to this car. It was a 302 but was built in 71. Ran way better

[@bigsarge2085]

[@Manufalket]

Eccezionale video friend

[@styldsteel1]

We have to keep things in perspective tho. Is it big? Nope. It's mid sized. In this year we had the Ford Galaxy. And thank you for sharing a Torino with us. They get little to no recognition.

[@deanstevenson6527]

Q code CJ 351's were a special engine, designed as a 1971 introduced intermediary in Mustangs between the earlier 285 hp M code and the R code 4V HO Boss spec 330 hp option. The Q code for that 72 year was down about 14 hp to around 266 hp in Mustangs, and sometimes quoted as a little less in Torinos. Big block performance in a small block 5.8 liter engine capacity. 🥝✔️

[@johnharper2016]

Best body style by far. 1 year only. The 73 and up had the stupid looking huge bumpers. I also like the 68/69 Torino body.

[@kevinfestner6126]

The Grand Torino for 72 was unique, a good alternative could be the 72 Montego, 2 door. The 73 Grand Torino was ruined by the new bumper requirement.

[@The_R-n-I_Guy]

My parents were looking to buy a new car in 1972 it was a choice between a 1972 Grand Torino and a 1972 Buick Skylark. The 1972 Buick Skylark had the better looks and power to it, is why they bought the Skylark.
