The most HONEST car salesman of ALL time. He discloses everything!😎🍺

[@Drewzer154]

And such a good one that he almost sold it back to himself. lol

[@user-rw8fy4cf3d]

Its got rust n no vinyl whats there to disclose it painfully obvious!

[@DAS-Videos]

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

[@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.

[@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!

[@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.

[@theroving1]

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

[@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!

[@StevefromOhio1972]

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

[@cameronkuhns2458]

They were a nice car at the time. I had a 1976 Elite.

[@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

[@garyolsen5790]

I bought a new one in 1975 for $6700. Loved it.

[@ramiram84]

The pup loves it too

[@DevilClock]

I'd buy any car off this guy. (can't, Aussie living in Thailand, my Old Man was a mechanic so I picked up a bit) but would cause he's overly honest, show's everything from scratch and sells em in good nick. His knowledge of car mechanics is what blows me away - I'm trying to learn. Mate, If you move to Thailand - let me know.

[@pureblood_ALPHAMALE]

Wow. Everything is going

[@one567]

yup, like I said but someone commented can't keep them all. soooooo

[@kengibson402]

I saw this on marketplace and knew this would be an interesting comments section…

[@larrys4227]

Love this car! Gonna miss it! Hope you get every dollar your asking!!!

[@Jeremy-ij9bk]

Y'all made some great vids with this one, good luck with the sale

[@glenbo2464]

You guys had a fun road trip in it !

[@nnkhmisc]

Indeed! Priceless trip it was!

[@mikescott1307]

Nice tour around, unique area. Good luck on the sale.

[@user-jz3iv7hm4d]

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!

[@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.

[@colmart1973]

Love the car and loved the drive & music at the end Chris, Great price for it👍🇮🇪

[@attackpilot]

Damn! Never realized how nice those seats are! Grew up riding in one of those. If I wasn’t living in Alaska I’d buy it.

[@jeepguymb45]

Nice going to town rig. Nice honest description of the car.

[@billholemo2518]

Very fair price. Stick to you're guns!! I watched y'all come home in it!!😂😂❤❤

[@MidNightGamble]

Loved the Driving Tour, and those wheels. Thanks!

[@frfrpr]

Beautiful scenery. It looks like a part of New Jersey that nobody sees. Thanks for the cruise.

[@bobber22]

Chris…you have chosen a lovely backdrop for staging the Elite!!😀😀😀😀😀Hope you get what you want for it. I had the same car in white with a red interior. Great car.

[@iamgriff]

That’s a fair price considering how mechanically sound Chris has gotten it to. Plus it is from the desert. Good buy for someone

[@chrisjames3087]

My buddy had one of those and I lusted after it to an embarrassing degree. Amazing how our tastes change as we age.

[@OSXMan]

I can't wait to see what all these sales are going to.

[@rucarcrazy70]

Really cleaned up nice

[@floydt2029]

Looks great Chris.

[@bruceboles3938]

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.

[@thescouch]

Wow, Chris is having a whole sale on all of his stuff. I wish the best for you buddy!!

[@madmex2k]

Love this car! Reminds me a bit of Starsky & Hutch, the O.G. TV series. I relly love those cars alot. I wish I could afford it now. I would fly out and drive it home to OKC.

[@ghouliesgarage3922]

I remember Hutch would call it "The flying Tomato" lol . If this was my car I'd have to put the white stripe in it and paint the roof red

[@user-rw8fy4cf3d]

But it not a gran torino an that car was stock! Fly? I wouldnt drive 20 miles to see a rusty no vinyl top car!

[@ghouliesgarage3922]

@@user-rw8fy4cf3d this car is in very good shape ! The money he is asking with All the new parts is definitely worth every penny of $6,500 .try looking in marketplace you'll see what I'm talking about

[@Hobodeluxe007]

I had one of those back in the mid 80's. Paid 500 bucks for it. No rust, had the 400 in it. It was light tan in color. I called it the boat. lol.

[@user-rw8fy4cf3d]

This ones worth 600 because its shinny red n has a 350 2 bbl!

Ok new toys it’s always good more good videos 👍👍 I can’t wait to see the green mustan

This is a beautiful car, and would for sure pay the asking from a mechanic like Chris. Good luck on the sale, and I am sure the new owner will be happy.

[@DanT271]

That's a beautiful car

[@martinmcdoniel4551]

Chris I think that is a fair for such a clean and reliable car. But as you say you cant keep them all It will be bittersweet seeing such a cool car go. Hope it goes to a good home.! I saw the Mustang was sold I hope you sell the ambulance also1 Please keep up the great videos!

[@jeffersonmayes4657]

Damn thats worth 6500! Sounds like it runs good!

[@kman-mi7su]

Too bad you and Jen sold the Mustang, I would've loved to see you and Tony Angelo do a wrenching/upgrade collaboration on that old girl. It would've been awesome to see it get some love and go faster parts.

[@westhavenor9513]

When I was high school and college in the 1980's $600 was the standard price for these old 70's beaters.

[@goleafsgo8496]

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. Good Luck hope you find the right buyer ..... 👍 👍Gus is such a cool pup!

[@francoisbouchard602]

Nice show Nice car 👏👏👏👏👍👍👍

[@timsmith5189]

If only…. Wow! Love that car!

[@ChristianGrigioni-xx4bn]

I had sent you a message when jen was driving the van in the parking lot while you were in the junk yard and came across the very same car with full interior

[@jimrky6062]

I was wondering fi that was Lambertville. Bucks County Playhouse locked it down. Nice area. Nice car as well.

[@user-qr7ee2cp4y]

This is how those 70's cars should be priced

[@davidrix804]

Ohhh that bridge crossing was bit hairy🙀🙀🙀🙀🙀🇬🇧🇬🇧

[@davidkeys1879]

I think the Torino is worth at least that. Maybe more. I feel a property purchase coming up soon!!😊

[@billgeorge7804]

That car is worth a full restoration. Hope you get more than you ask Chris. Good luck.

[@brendangibbons6094]

[@karenfyhr2363]

It's a really nice car and in great shape for its age. So at that bargain price, it should sell fast. Don't let anyone talk you down in price

[@Eric-R]

Love the Torino. I have a similar problem with keeping too many cars around -- how do you deal with keeping insurance costs affordable for your fleet?

[@mikeq5664]

straight up presentation of the car.... I saw all the vids with this ride, really enjoy your stuff ,,, fair price for all the work done. and it's a 70's cool driver.. !

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.

Hi Chris, You said, "Sometimes it works. Sometimes it doesn't." That's a good description of my wife. Could I rent Gus for a few days? I'm putting an underground sprinkler system in my yard, and he would make a great ditch digger.

👍👌👏 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.

I owned a silver/burgandy 1976 ford Elite that I bought used in 1978. It rode like a living room, but it was gutless with a 351W and got 11 mpg no matter how I drove it…
