The Ford That Started It All

[@RickBallantyne]

I know that it was not your intent when you started this channel, but in a world where most things seem to be circling the drain, you are a light. I was a teen in the 70's, working in a small-town gas station during the summers and your videos take me back to those days. Carry on, because you are appreciated by many.

[@SimonFordman]

Thank you!

[@johnnycollins1476]

Well said, I'm the same vintage. My sis had a gorgeous 1972 2 door Gran Torino in green with a white vinyl top. Those were the days❤

[@HAL-dm1eh]

I'm about 10 years later than you, a teen in the mid 80s and a car guy. Me and my dad got a junked 69 Mustang coupe running which he lost interest in, and I kept on with on my own. His shot of the old back lit gauges at night really struck me, because they remind me of the first time I drove it at night. I don't know what it was about that but it stays with me to this day. These are experiences we can't explain to today's cell phone and gaming generation that have no clue what they're missing and we will never get back, so I feel like they are just lost forever. So I really appreciate what this young man is doing.

I to was a teenager in the 1970's, Indeed it is circling the drain, right around the western world. Down under just as much as the US. The thing that gets me is it's by design. Skills are going to be very important over the coming years. Some shitty degree from some woke university not so much. They can stick their woke global warming with plandemics up their arse along with their ai shit.

It's funny the car came with a rebuild kit. I bought my daily driver for very cheap because it was running like shit, and then also found a rebuild kit in the car. Why do people buy a rebuild kit but never use it?

[@ethan-01]

Love this story, and your videos -- I have a similar story: My grandfather's last car was my first car, a 1977 Cadillac Sedan Deville, I grew up in that car (it drove me home from the hospital after I was born), the sounds it made, the smells, the little visual details like fonts on the controls, the cadence of the 'security system' light flashing with the doors open -- things no one else in the world might notice -- were all etched into my mind as a kid. When my grandfather was terminally ill he felt the Cadillac wasn't reliable enough to be my grandmother's once he was gone so with a few months to live he bought her a new replacement car but didn't trade in the Cadillac he made her promise to "keep it for the boy"... she kept that car in her garage for another 5 years until I turned 16 and could finally own/drive it -- It was mine for 6 years though high school, then college, covering tens of thousands of miles, and it started my love of repairing and maintaining my own car. Unfortunately New England winters took their toll, and our state's inspection process meant it could no longer be my primary car without significant work which I didn't have the space or money to accomplish, I foolishly let it go and regretted it for years. Over 20 years later I was finally in a position where I could get another, it's very close to my original (except for color), and I'm really enjoying the time I can spend driving it and working on it. I have a son who is 5, and he seems to love riding in it, I don't imagine he'll end up with a similar attachment that I had, but you never know. Thank you for your videos.

I know what you mean. I'm redoing my dream car as well. 1979 Ford Thunderbird. Last of the full framers. This is of special interest to me because my Thunderbird is referred to as a "Torino-bird" due to being on the same platform as the Torino.

[@garymarshall4445]

Very nostalgic as my Dad, a Ford Industrial Engineer in the ATL plant where these were made, actually won a 72 Gran Torino of the same color due to his suggestion to save a few pennies per vehicle on some fasteners!

I grew up in the 70's and 80's and your videos remind me of bygone days and I can't help but to feel a yearning for what was and what has been lost. When I was a kid my mom owned a '77 Ford Thunderbird and my Dad a number of cars (78 Trans Am; a la Smokey and the Bandit). My best friend's first car was a '79 Thunderbird and my second was a '78 Ford Ranchero. Now in my 50's I drive a 2011 Ford Crown Victoria Police Interceptor and it reminds me so much of those cars from my youth with it's no nonsense ease of repair. A simpler time, a better time. Thank you so much for the walk down memory lane.

[@airplanemaniacgaming7877]

Oooh, you drive a car that was made near my hometown (the Panther platform, I.E. Crown Vics, Mercury Grand Marquis,) at the Talbotville plant. I'm still annoyed that bullshit got that plant closed, and lost us a great car factory, and a lot of jobs to boot.

I came across these videos by chance. Now I can't stop watching them. I love the fact that there is no talking or annoying music. Just the sounds of wrenching and so forth. I appreciate the time and effort it must take to get several camera angles and the creativity of just random shots like cleaning out the car and picking up a crusty mouse with the pliers. I've done all this stuff before and I still do on a daily basis. Theres something about fixing up and driving old stuff that makes me appreciate and enjoy ownership of old vehicles. Keep up the good work Simon.

That moment of seeding the soul in the engine is loved and cherished. Some people don't like the ECUs because of that, that small box steals their moment of wizardry from them. EVs are being looked at as miracles of silicone valley cult, but they really are not. Once adopted, they will be more understood, "possessed ECU box" flëur will fade away and we will be able to admire our work on a pile of metal once again:)

Great vid like always. It doesn't matter what vehicle you are fixing. I watch it from start to end. No fake drama and useless crap. Keep em coming!

You’ve done a fantastic job producing these videos, let alone the actual car rescuing. Also in case nobody else mentioned it - a Benita Johnson, born February 13th 1910, of St. Paul MN, passed away at the age of 102 in 2012. RIP.

Watching old American cars restored and repaired is another form of pleasure. 🥰
