1972 Ford Gran Torino Sport 351 Cobra Jet 4 Speed in Green & Ride on My Car Story with Lou Costabile 

Hi, If you like this video, please click on SUPER THANKS ❤ with the $ in the middle which is the SUPER THANKS button under the video. Thank you! Lou

My first car was a 72 Gran Torino. It was just a grocery-getter, not a Sport, that originally had a 351W. It was given to me at 15 and was a "if you can get it running you can have it" thing. I learned a lot from that car!

What a gorgeous Torino! I could stare all day at the fantastic paint and body lines. But then you popped the hood, and I could stare at the 351C all day, too. What a great car Mr.. Lucarz has brought today. Thanks, Lou!

I wonder if Clint Eastwood would recognize this car in a heartbeat? Truly perfect car! Outstanding video! Thanks Lou!

You once showed a video of a Merc. Cougar and I described it as "a Mustang that went to college." These Torino's got football scholarships.

Wow! That is gorgeous! I was a senior in High School when this car came out and it was one of my favorite cars of that time. If I remember correctly I believe that Ivy Glow paint was a featured color that year, and I love how it actually glows in the sunlight! The sound of that motor is mechanical music to my ears! Thanks for the ride, Lou!

Oh, my, Lou! I'm "GREEN" with envy over this 1972 Torino GT. That is gorgeous. The styling was awesome and is the best of that generation as the bumpers are slim and work with the overall design. Again, Lou, you are just the best with the most varied automobilia content of any channel. Your efforts are always appreciated. Bene Opus!

Not usually a Ford guy , But Anthony has a real beauty. Thanks Lou.

Lou , are becoming quite the antique automotive video archive collector ..........you have a great library of muscle car videos!! Thank you!!!

Lou…between the Boss 351 Mustang, that Top Banana Challenger, and now this Torino, you’re officially killing me. Not sure why Torinos don’t get more love. You rarely see them at the auctions. Stunning car.

That’s a WOW! Amazing condition and correctness. Love to see the owner driving it.

Awesome sounding & 4 speed manual transmission too!

Good morning Lou.. wonderful and splendid!! too crazy .. It reminds me of the film Gran Torino, one of the best films ever made.. Lou you always bring great cars, you're the man, great job bro.

The color is great....

That opening sequence with Anthony switching through that 4 speed was probably one of your best film moments Lou!!!! Love this car! Thank you Anthony and Lou. (Wasn't that the Montego/Ranchero I saw hanging out in back?)

My cousin had a 1972 Gran Torino Sport fastback and my wife had a 1972 Gran Torino 2 door hardtop. What distinctive cars these were!

Love a Torino I had a 76 nothing like that one but very cool car's.

Clint would be proud Lou!! I'm soooo glad to see all this love for Gran Torinos in the comments here. They weren't muscle cars or anything, but damn, there's just something magical about that 72-76 generation!

Love the color.

Been awhile since I seen one it's great to see one again got all the goodies on it and very clean

Hi, Lou! About that wide mouth look, Uncle Tom McCahill, always known for his witty and whimsical comments, opined that these cars looked like "landlocked tunas sucking air"! Be that as it may, Anthony's car truly lives up to the words "Gran", "Sport" and "fastback", and between Clint Eastwood and Starsky & Hutch, these Torinos have truly become icons! You said it, Lou, Great Time! You, too, Anthony, ear to ear! Thank you both for taking along for this virtual thrill ride!

Don't see these cars much anymore. I did not realize how awesome that color is. In this era of car paint, colors like this did not keep their luster for very long in the Vegas sun.

How spectacular this 1972 Ford Gran Torino Sport looks in the sun with that green (Ivy Glow) and the large side reflective stripes! I like the large, mouth-style front grille, with its twin headlights, and the additional "Ram" air intake on the hood; plus the handsome rectangular taillights recessed into the one-piece chrome bumper (special mention to the immaculate "Cobra Jet" V8 engine bay). Excellent interior combination, with seats, doors and upholstery in green, along with the elegant instrument panel full of dials. Perfect day for the final tour; with that beautiful shot showing his brilliant beak crossing the road... Congratulations to Mr. Lucarz, for his 26 years alongside this Great Classic! Great video, Lou!

One of the most beautiful bodies ever created!!! Love it to say the least!!! Thanks for sharing it with all of us!!

Very nice Gran Torino! I always thought that these were under appreciated. Incredible level of detail is right Lou - just spectacular. Thanks for letting us see this classic!

Wow! I am a life long Ford fanatic. This has been a wonderful episode for me. My favorite year and model from the '70s!!! Just fantastic! Thanks to the owner and pesenter for sharing this beautiful car with us that can only experience one of these exceptional examples of American automotive history through your efforts. ❤

I'm so happy to see this video, i was parked next to Tony at the Fairlane Club of America show in St.Louis in 2003, very happy to see he still owns his. I owned my 72 for 40 years and 4 months and sold it with 14,455 miles on it. Two thumbs up buddy!

A Beauty!! Green!

Nice 1972 Torino. Like it. For a 52 year old car. It’s mint. That’s also when I graduated High School. Thanks Lou! 💯👊👍

One of my dream cars one of the most beautiful ever built

Very cool car and made popular by the movie. Love the paint job. Thanks Lou!

Lou, that '72 is right as rain... A one year body style, 351 Cleveland⚡️🙌🏼, 4 speed, excellent condition. Good one Lou...good one.

These cars used a rigid body/flexible chassis design first seen in the '65 ful sized Fords, fantastic handling; fabulous detail. Speed limiter for novices who missed a shift!! Thanks guys

What a beautiful Gran Torino Sport! That color is sooo nice. And the Cleveland/Hurst 4 speed rocks! Thanks Lou.

My dream car

Sweet ride Lou. All you need is a Goldie lab next to you zipping down the road. Great video

Nice!

Nice. 72 Ford Gran Torino, 351 Cubic Inches, 4-Barrel Carburetor by Edelbrock, iconic color and design. Can it get any better? Yes, but we don't care! 😎👍💪

To me this is the ultimate Torino!

The perfect Gran Torino Awesome 👍👍👍

Beautiful! My second car was a 74. It wasn't as powerful. Only had a Windsor and was powder blue. It was a fun car. Thanks Lou!

Very nice, what a great car the Gran Torino is, that guy is a very lucky man.

Gorgeous time travel car😍😍😍😍😍 Thanks Lou!

The most beautiful Torinos I have ever seen. These cars were always underpreatie until now.

Super nice ride. I dont think I have ever seen one out on the road even back in the day. The look over the hood is great.

A Beaut!

Very beautiful car Lou. Pride of ownership shows ❤

Anthony, your Torino is the best I've seen, keep it up.

Condition is like 1972 all over again. I always liked the Style of these over the Malibu from 1968 and up to the end of the Torino. I always thought this car had a lot of Class for a mid sized car. Even the 1968 Torino in my eyes looks so classy. Inside & out. I remember so many of these. Perfect Car

Hey Lou, That’s one sweet Torino!😎👍With the Cleveland and the 4spd You just don’t see them that often. Thanks for sharing Guys!😎👍⭐️🕊🦋🕊🙏✌️🎉🇺🇸

Very nice car. This Torino is the nicest one I seen. Love the green paint with a light green stripe. The 351 Cleveland with a four speed is nice also. Thanks for showing this beautiful car guys.

Rarely do I like a green-on-green car, but these Torino’s are an exception. I owned the ‘73 version of this car in the late ‘70’s, but with the more common automatic. There was very little ‘Cobra Jet’ left in that 351 by ‘73, as mine could only muster a 16.8@83 mph at E-town but boy that was a quiet comfortable enjoyable car, especially on the highway. What a great example of a seldom seen car. Great video Lou!

Hi Lou. It's always a pleasure watching your videos. As for this outstanding automobile, wow! This to me is a mans car. Big loud powerful and you need some fast hands for when it gets a bit squirly after you put your foot down too hard. This could be one of the best of the best for sure.....26 year custodian. This man loves this vehicle for sure. I thank the Lord for guy's like Anthony and you Lou. Without you, this world would be so boring......."ear to ear grin everytime"...... awesome!

The hose says RAD, i couldn't agree more❤

What an amazing example.. and love the 4 speed and the hood scoop!.. unique it is…

Very nice Gran Torino a very rare car

My parents former neighbor had a son with a 73 Gran Torino, this body style. I remember it in the late 1970's. His was black with gold stripes down the side, and black interior.

🙋‍♂️ THANKS LOU,ANTHONY ,FOR SHARING ONE SWEET 🍯 RIDE AND ALL GREAT DETAILS…AND I LOVE ❤️ ALL THE GUAGES,AND THE OVERHEAD LIGHTS…WITH THE SPOTS FOR 🗺️ MAP READING 👀💚💚💚

Outstanding machine Lou! Really love this year, style and color of the Torino. Is a lot like Clint Eastwoods ride!

One of the most under rated muscle cars. You never see them. I guess because it was a one year body style. My old neighbor lady had one when i was a child. The same color or close to it.

Ford always had some nice green shades back in the day.

My dad had a brown one just like this back in the day.

I have seen this car before and it is absolutely amazing. Love the functional scope! Just Awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This just never gets old. Of course I would like it in Black!

My boss bought a twin same everything in blue in 1972 nice car thanks Lou.

Lot's of interesting Ford product in the driveway! Go Leafs go!

Sharp looking car, wow! Love the color and side stripe and magnum 500 wheels, hood scoop - all complement a great looking body. Great stuff Lou and thanks!

Mercury had the Montego GT fastback. I was in love with both.

just lovely, thanks gentle men, cheers from torino, italy, robert

Very nice! I have had a 73 4-speed Gran Torino Sport for the past 48 years. I bought it from the original owner with 11 thousand miles on. It has close to 39 thousand miles on now. Not resorted, but just about as nice as that. I have the original window sticker and all the paperwork.

Awesome Torino!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Great job

I guy up the street in the next development had one of these in a bronzed brown color in the 1970s. I was never a Torino guy but his did look and sound good. Overtime Torinos have grown on me.

Great Locker and a great specimen !

Influenced by Bunkie Knudsen, if I'm not mistaken. This is another car which makes one marvel at how many of them were on the roads in the 1970s, compared to how many still exist today.

Very beautiful clean 72 Ford Gran Torino brother

Nothing like a Cleveland… I love the 8 Grand Tach, plus it has the taller 3.50:1 rear gears. That’s what the S Code stands for. Glad I subscribed… 🤠

I had a Red 72 and black vinyl top. 351 CJ but it had a Holley 4 barrel and side pipes. Beautiful car. Automatic

Great car Lou! Thanks so much.

Absolutely. My favorite car love it.

great video as always lou. i just cant get enough of watching your videos of great classic automobiles. still waiting for the video of a late model chrysler minivan. LOL. JUST JOKING LOU.

Awww big bro Lou! You went all "Starsky and Hutch/Green Arrow" on us and I love it, man! Those guys are 3 of my biggest heroes, and here they are together! My Dad David Soul (Hutch) would certainly agree😜😉. Ha! This Gran Torino Sport has my floppy sneakers fired off my tubesocked stocking feet like cannons that you catch like Gary Carter behind home plate, Lou lol 🤣!! POW😵😵! That leaves me 100% knocked out (of course) and slung over Anthony's right shoulder like the Robin I am, my stocking JV baseball chick crazy jock feet now just limply dangling 🤣🤪. I just loooove these Ford Grand Torino's, man. So rare to see one live and in the flesh. I especially dig that rear 3 quarter view with that wild and radical fastback and those big hips. Kind of like a hulking fastback shape, and just so cool to look at. That awesome and lopey werewolf exhaust sound just fits her to a "T". The mechanical work that Anthony's done under her hood is EPIC, a delight...thanks for the inspiration, big bro! "Stay Gold", as Johnny told Ponyboy Curtis in The Outsiders. JV Johnny ⚾⚾

I just watched the movie Gran Torino on Saturday.

Wow that’s a beauty

I saw a 72 Torino for the first time in the dealer showroom the day they first went on sale in October 1971. I fell in love with the car. I was a college age student at the time and didn't have the ability to buy it, but it was one of the many cars I saw in the showroom and wished I could buy it. That stripe on the side was a really cool thing to see at night when streetlights or other car headlights reflected off of it. It had a changing look to it as it went from the front to the back. I do wish Ford was still making cars like that. Surely, there would be more cars on the road than SUVs if they did.

Sweet car, I always wanted a 72, Ive had a 68,9,73,and 4 and my 71, but never a 72. Reminds me of Gran torino with clint eastwood

That’s a beautiful car. My 72 had the 351cj and 4 speed but decided it needed a coyote and 6 speed

One would be hard pressed to find a nicer example..👍

Magnificent

Another great car Lou, great owners as well, Da Bears....

Awesome car..

A beautiful car and it looks brand new and it sounds great I love it and the 4 speed

No kiddin, what a cruiser

That's one great looking car there definitely don't see too many of the perrino GT models and it's got a great motor🎉

Great story, Lou! A childhood friend of mines parents had one in medium blue with a blue interior. May have had a 351 Windsor V-8, but was definitely an automatic. Rode to school in it a time or two! Cheers!😁👍🛠️🔧

Even the 72 montego. But, the 72 gran torino is one of my favorites.

PERFECT Lou love it

Hey my brother I also had a 1972 GRAN TORINO SPORT that was my Drag race car it ran 12 .60'S at 107 mph in the quarter mile sold it a couple years ago to a father and son who each have a 1972 that they drive on the street so they Drag race it still at our home 🏡 track I'm happy 😊 that it went to a ford family 😎

Beautiful car

G'day Lou, Even by the 3rd generation there isn't a bad angle on these Torino's, they just got better with every generation & I have a soft spot for the 1972. I believe it was the final year of the sport roof ( Fast Back ), body lines, can one of your great subscribers correct me. Great great Torino. Cheers Louis Kats your number 1 Fan in Melbourne, Australia 🇦🇺 🇺🇸

Thanks for another unique car presentation. Love the color, wheels, and overall appearance

What a car, a great car, since the days of horseless carriages!
