How did this Gran Torino age so gracefully? 

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

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

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

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

The 72 is super rare -- I love it in gold

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.

I had a 73 in high school. Loved it.

Always Loved the Gran Torino . Beautiful car!!

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 ~

One of my favorite Fords.

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

Love it. I had a 73 Sport fastback with a 351 CJ engine, wish I still did

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.

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.

Great interview, he was a good guy beautiful car

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.

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

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

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. 💪👍👏

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

Awesome to see Dennis again!

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....

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

Amazing condition, thanks for sharing.

I've always liked gold or burnt orange colors. Very nice.....

I love that car

Gorgeous!

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.

My dad had a 70’Torino with the big block 429 drag pack 4 speed

Beauty.

Great stache Dennis as usual and an even greater Torino❤❤❤😮😮

The weather here in PA isn't all that bad, as long as you don't mind 90 degree summer days with 90% humidity. Jokes aside, when the weather is just right, I couldn't imagine being anywhere else

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

my dad had a gran torino back in the day, same gold , love those torinos.

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 ⚾⚾

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

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

Sweet gan torino man! Beautiful car!!

Very nice. My first car was a 72 in blue

Not a big Ford guy, but this GT is gorgeous!!!!

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

I love the Car , loved Starsky and Hutch , love the movie , get off my lawn !

lovely!

Hell yeah my brother

How beautiful American car design and great character back then?

Awesome

She is gorgeous 👍👍🤜🤜

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.

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.

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. 🥝✔️

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.

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

Eccezionale video friend

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.

Nice!!!!

just love these! and Im a chevy dude. would own this

Not a Ford guy. But I love a Torino

I've never seen that Ram louver before, this car is dreamy.

😎

My mom’s first car is a Plymouth horizon

Nice car. I wonder what it would look like with one inch larger diameter wheels in the back.

Sure is pretty, Dennis

A car with the worst rear blind spots I have ever driven. Seriously... Did the engineers never sit in this car and try and see out the rear?

Yes.....

I dig me a gold top.

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.

Would you look at that. Just look at it. 😊👍

6:54 hehe

If you close the hood of a modern car with such force, it will deform.

The nose was stolen by Chrysler for the 2005 300

Like the car but do not like the gold paint.
