Had a 74 Gran Torino Sport when young. 351 Windsor. Red with white vinyl top. Keystone crager wheels with air shocks. Great car -- wish I still had it!
I had a 1975 Torino. I bought it in 1977 while I was in college. It was midnight blue metalic with the color matched vinyl roof. My Chevy my parents bought was ready for the junk yard. when I got in 1975. I could not pay for college and the 62 Impala repairs I did myself. I loved that Torino. It was fast with the 351 Cleveland/Windsor V8. In 198,1 I was T Boned by a drunk driver, in the right door that bend the frame, broke the axle. I could have rolled down the right door window if the glass was in the door. With my right arm bent, I could touch the right door. Ford 'repaired' my Torino but would shake so hard at 60mph, I could barely keep it on the road. I traded it in when I bought my first new vehicle, a Ford F-150 I ordered to build. I went to the Norfolk VA Ford Truck Plant and watched it being it built. I still miss my Torino for all the things I did when I owned it. Great Memories.
I owned too of these as a kid early in the 1980s, One thing i can tell you positively the 1974 GT did not come with a 460ci motor all 4000 pounds of her came with either a 351 or a 400 modified
My husband had one when I met him in 1988, red with a black vinyl roof, but the Sport script was below the Gran Torino badge on the front fender, not behind the windows.
5 years ago this video was posted?😢 it’s probably gone, I was an olds Pontiac guy and it was a blue 72 Torino that made me a ford guy back in 78. I’ve owned 9 torinos they got hard to find I went to T-birds they got hard to find I went mustang, I’ve got a few cars now including a one owner low mile 88 T-bird sport coupe and yeh it don’t have a 460 but a 5.0

Don't think spare original it is bias ply Goodyear WT tire. 74 thru 76 came with radials. 74 thru 75 Montego Sport came with Bias ply WIDE Tread tires. Discontinued Torino Sport in 76. Beautiful car.
Ford is getting the last laugh on GM and Dodge. I'm seeing older "Ford Classics" being sold than either of the other two. If I was rich I'd have a garage full of Fords and Mecury's. Maybe a few GM and Dodge classics. FORD.
