This would be my dream car. When I was young I bought a 1968 Torino GT Fastback for $175.00 up in Montana. Was Factory Maroon. Had a 390 block with I believe we're 428 heads....stock 390 exhaust manifolds didn't come close to fitting the heads on the motor. That car never, ever gave me a lick of problems. It wasn't quick but would bury the 120mph speedo with ease. I have owned more cars than I can count, I worked in a junkyard at the time and traded it for parts for my Stockcar. Giving up that GT is the biggest regret I ever had as far as cars go. Sure wish I never gave it up. This build in this video is beyond excellent. It's a masterpiece. GOD how I wish it was mine.
28 minutes of sheer perfection. The amount of detail that is hidden under leather, paint and sheetmetal blows my mind. I would have dipped it in clear and called it a day. Hats off to you guys...... 👍
Simply outstanding workmanship. I can only imagine the hours and cost of the project. It is a thing of true beauty and a credit to all those who worked on it.
@@deluxairhead I saw a build recently that was almost at this level, maybe just as good, but he left it bare metal. He had 16,000 hours in it. I wouldn't be surprised if this surpasses that. Maybe 20,000 hours? At $100/hr for this level of work, that's $2m!!!
@@RayPlant77 Yep I get the bucks per hour but who's going to pay that kinda money for this, yes its well worth it as its basically brand new, the 69 fastback is freekin incredible also, I'm on to this channel its wild........
This a great build by Troy! I have a Talladega which has been in my family since new; I've owned it since SEPT 1984. I've gradually restored it to stock over many years. Troy's build is a great contrast to my car. I would love to photograph both cars side by side.
This brings back memories because my dad taught me to drive in a green 1969 Torino. I was 13 years old and my brother and I would spend hours taking turns driving the dirt back roads on the reservation that we grew up on. Cops were not allowed on the reservation at that time (only sheriff’s) so we were able to drive the 7 miles into town and then walk around town and then drive ourselves home. Our Torino wasn’t as cool of a car as yours but we were on top of the world..lol
Amazing craftsmanship ! I can hardly imagine the cost , the man hours involved , but the hardest part is just to imagine that it's jist a show piece and will never be driven like it's intended to be driven ! Basically yard art ! As much as I appreciate all the skills and dedication , I really would rather drive my creations and enjoy them !
68 & 69 were almost identical, my first new car purchase was a 69 Torino GT with a bunch of factory installed options, raised the sticker to $4269 as I recall!
I have seen this car in person more than once. Been to George's place seen it. Unrelievable Troy's guys are badd ass.... Now ,if I could just win the lottery...
Man this car came out nasty! Perfect in every way. Color combinations nailed it. Only thing I would have done without is the roof rails. Everything else is absolutely perfect spot on. Someone has a keen eye for perfection.
What a beautiful design! One day, I would love to own a car like this, over a European sports car and I'm not saying that I don't like European sports cars, because I do. In fact, I have had a couple of them, but looking at something like this masterpiece is just breathtaking. It's such a beautiful and unique piece of engineering and the best part is that very few people could actually ever own one.
i taught this builder all he knows... lol... just kidding... not much impresses me upon vehicle modifications.... but, this one, is well balanced to what I like to see. of course cleanly done, while heavily modified top to bottom, it hidden exceptionally well to leave a clean but modest appearance , and somehow, still looking aggressive as hell, never mind the sound, which is like hearing the first cry of my son having just been born....Simply put, I am impressed.
Yes! All the build specs and credits are in the description of this video. 🚘👍🏻 George Poteet is one lucky guy.😇 remember this car was featured in Fast and Furious movie.👍🏻
Metal work is outstanding but what is up witth the Cage? Using cheap ERW instead of DOM? Also the a-pillar bar gaps from the a-pillar is massive. Who designed the rear stays to the roll cage? Someone looking for a wow factor from the Kids? Makes zero sense. Like I mentioned earlier awesome metal work. Please hire a Roll Cage next time that knows how to tuck and design. Plus harness bar is to low.
Hey: I got a Build for y'all to do ... It'll involve my 1 owner 2006 Chevy Silverado LT but I need a Chevy Van to do this type of conversion (my truck is a Short Wheel Base and has a 4.8 that has 220,000.0 + miles on it and would like to have y'all to do the conversion on it but I'm looking for a sponsor to do this project cause I'm wanting to put/install a 6-Speed transmission in it and have it insulated so that the vehicle would hold either the cold or heat inside it if it had to be lived in
way to ruin a classic car and make it look like a piece of cheap junk..just shows great craftmanship doesnt always has a artist eye ... that is why chip foose gets the big bucks ... this car is horrible

So much bad ass fab simply a pice of art

Good luck.
I don't think I blinked once watching this. Absolutely amazing. RIP George Poteet

Whats your call on the numbers, my guess $ 150K +

These torinos were far better looking than any chevelle ever in my opinion.

George drive his cars This will not be a trailer quean.
If I hit the lottery, I'd be camped out on Mr Poteet's front doorstep.
That was the best looking model year Ford Torino in my opinion.

Radest Torino ever built only troy and his group
Clearly the nicest '69 Torino in the world. Just beautiful, great job.

Am I the only one that has to turn the volume off because of the terrible background noise choice?
Jason Dooley , it was just chipmunks in a blender , and they hit purée
No I turned it off about 30 seconds in. Amazing car though.
Nope, you're not alone!

Metal art at another level. What a build!
Damn nice craftsmanship,,,I have a 68 and 71 torino,,,only thing I would have did different was single headlights.
Love the video & your craftsmanship, outstanding! Do us all a favor however & lose the soundtrack, it's horrible..

This is truly art on wheels!!
My lord! It’s like watching a piece of art being created by Michelangelo.!
Craftsmanship is amazing 😉

I saw an article about an aluminum mustang body that was put on a Ford GT frame and engine. This Torino looks like it.
This car looks amazing. Why does he use rivets instead of welding
Give's me WOOD!!!!!!! Very nice.
All I can say is WOW very awesome build 👍
I don't think there is ANYBODY on this planet who can build a better car than Troy and his Craftsmen.

wing is to far up on trunk lid need to move it back a few inch's
ok.
It's a beautiful job except for the front grill and headlights, Should of kept it original Ford,Not some 70s Chevelle
I came here just to listen to people bitch about the music.
half million dollar car easy....

Now I understand why americans use gigantic engines with gazillion horsepower.... To move 5 tons of metal in a straight line.
good grief . . what is that horrid racket ?
