I am not a Ford guy, but I always thought that the front end design of this Torino was one of the prettiest of all time.
Glad this car is a winner for you :-)
My favorite Ford car of all time.
Winner !
1972 Gran Torino is amazing.

The 72 Torino reminded me of a 68-year-old Cutlass 442. I was surprised Ford reshaped the car so that it resembled a GM car. I really liked the front of the Torino in 72. When my dad started working as a salesman for a Ford dealership, his first demo he drove was a 73 Gran Torino they changed front dramatically again, and I didn't like it. I had fallen in love with the 72. Nowadays, I think I like it better than the 72. The Torino line was my favorite Ford model line for the entire run from 1968 to 76. This car featured in this video is a fantastic example of the 72 Gran Torino.
Hi Daniel, Happy to read you enjoy the Torino. If you type into TH-cam search "My Car Story with Lou Torino" I think you'll see many you enjoy, Lou
I had a 74 Gran Torino Station Wagon. No 3rd seat. It had a trunk in back. I loved that car !

@@loucostabile Good idea Thanks for the reply.
Over time this car has really grown on me, both the '70/'71 and this generation, '72' are both knockouts and the fastback design, striping option, hood scoop, and rally wheels add up to top of class for '72 and there was still some very stiff competition in intermediate class but this Cobra Jet Ford Torino is tough to beat. Thanks Lou!

Yay! I had one of these in the 80s! Had a 351 cleavland. So sorry I sold it. I lived in Florida then, and my brothers painted it emerald green in Emron paint for me. 😭 Miss my car!

I had the 73 version in 1982 and 83, even green. Mine had A/C and the interior was black vinyl and then checkered cloth where the passengers sat. The trunk was checkered too and my spare was a Magnum 500. Mine also had a C 6 auto. Seriously. Left nut to have it back at 58 now!

Hi Randy Scott Pobanz, Sounds like a wonderful car :-) Thank you for sharing, Lou
It is about to be four years since I seen this video the day it came out, and I’m still in awe even now. I am twenty, and In five years time I hope to have worked really hard towards where I would like to be by then. As of now I am well on my way thanks to God, and I hope to continue on this path. Eventually, if this car ever goes for auction I will fulfill the promise I made to my father that some day I would have worked hard enough to own this Gran Torino regardless of the price, for the value of this car lies in the significance of what it symbolizes to my father and I.
Hi Potato Stud, Stay focused, keep in prayer, and hope you're behind the wheel of one like this soon, Lou
These old classic cars seem to look even better today than I remember them in their day

Beautiful sports car from my birth year of 1972.
Hi Edwin, Happy to read you and this car celebrate the same birth year, Lou
Looks exactly like the one in the movie Gran Torino starring Clint Eastwood. Beautiful car!!!
Hi Christopher, You're right :-) Happy to read you enjoy the looks of this car, Lou
This showed up on my ''suggested video'' list even though it's over three years old and it just happened to have the Two best looking Fords ever built in my opinion! sitting side by side no less! The 70/71Torino sports roof and the 72 Torino sports roof! I've loved both of these cars ever since they came out but I've never been able to make up my mind which one is my favorite! I think that having them side by side has made me pick out the 72! It's a one year only front end treatment (Thank you US government!) and it's a full frame car with a four link coil spring rear suspension that rides like my all time favorite cars the GTO and the 442! I've always been a Pontiac fanatic but I got a 71 Olds Cutlass a few years back without a plan to fix it and flip it and then I started buying all brands of cars and have a few I really like! I have a A 78 Thunderbird, a 1977 Dodge Monaco coupe, and a 1975 Ford Torino Elite and a few more! The Torino Elite is all red inside and outside and when I saw the ad it had the address 5 miles away from my house and the pictures I made my mind up right then that I had to have it! I told my son to come along to drive my old car back because it was mine! I asked the guy what it took to buy it and he told me how much and I handed it to him! No negotiating or trying to get it cheaper, The Red car with red interior just spoke to me! I had to have it!

I LOVE THIS TYPE OF CAR!
Hi Flynn Jones, Happy to read you "LOVE" this car :-) Lou
The 1972 Ford Gran Torino Sport is the greatest, 0:37 sporty gaped grille between quart lamp, streamlined body finish and a beautiful clean tail.
High praise :-)
Without a doubt the most beautiful Ford Torino ever made, and this one is in mint condition.
Hi Fabio, High praise :-) Lou
That was the first car i ever bought and been looking to buy one as my last car i ever buy... It was a head turner back then and even now. I love the fish mouth grill that sets it apart from all other Gran Torino's... Thanks for sharing

@@loucostabile I remember my neighbor had a car identical to this when I was a kid.
The 1972 Ford Gran Torino is so beautiful, the car itself can remind me of the movie Gran Torino (2008), which is actually named after the main character’s (Walter Kowalski - Clint Eastwood) beloved car (a dark green 1972 Ford Gran Torino Sportsroof. :)
Hi Rocky “Joliet” Baracus, Happy to see you found the updated video of this car too. Lou
I think I ran into this guy at a car show. Sweet car👌
Nice :-)
NEVER realized how similar the interior layout and design is to the 1972 Mercury Cougar
Hi nomadbrad, Thanks for sharing, Lou
I owned one of these mine was yellow,a simple to fix car,that ran and ran and ran mine had the cleveland block, one of the best cars I ever had
Hi Ed Cammarata, Happy to read this car / video brings back memories of your Yellow car like this :-) Thank you for viewing and sharing, Lou
Looks like he drove it from the dealer to the show.
Agreed :-)
I was 2 yrs old when this car was out my fiancee was born in 1972 timeless piece this car compare to the Chevelle SS/ Malibu .
Derrick Jackson
I was born in 73 (lol no one likes 1973 anythings😂)
but the neighbors kid had one when I was growing up.
I'd say it was around 80-81, I remember him swapping a 351 Cleveland into it with the front yard tree as his hoist.
and a trans swap too.
Reason I remember the trans swap was the shift legend didn't line up anymore ?
Idk what he did, maybe went from a c4 to a c6?
Oh yea and air shocks and n50s on back, you probably couldn't see out the back window for 35ft 😂
Good times.
its so nice it makes me kinda think maybe he used a time machine to just go back 2 1972 and simply picked it up and zapped it here to are time line
He did very slowly not to damage the car. Took him all those years but it was definitely worth it.
These cars were really nice looking. Never received the recognition they should have. Great period colour.
Hi Austin Powers, Thank you for sharing, and glad you enjoy the looks of this one :-) Lou
You Americans sure made some awesome looking cars back then. Here in Europe, all wegot was the Capri which looked like shit in comparison.
Those were the glory years for the American Auto Industry.
Hi Gary Dunn, Thank you for viewing and sharing. Hope you see many more American cars you'll enjoy on the Channel, Lou
The only way I get to see these great cars is at American Classic carshows here in the UK. Unfortunately, these events don't happen veryoften. However, I have quite a few photo's of these awesome looking cars, ranging from the late 50's up to the 1990's. By then, even yourcars began to look more European in design, and lost that distinctive American muscle car look. Cheers.
Then the video on the Channel should be fun for both of us :-) Cheers, Lou
That is a beautiful Gran Torino - looks showroom fresh.
Thanks Lou!
Hi Jeff, Seems so rare to see one now. My pleasure sharing this car with you, Lou
What a proud owner. Big thanks Lou.

Pretty much my dream car... but then again I say that about all these vintage muscle cars
High praise for this car....and a few other on the Channel too :-)
My dad own a 72 just like this one when I was a kid. I loved riding in that car .I was born in 70 but I do remember the 69 torino he traded in after a battle he lost with a side ditch near home I think he had a few too many . His 72 was gold with a stripe similar to the one here. Somehow they all said the 351 was stronger than the 69 390 . I don't know but the back seat of the 72 was very comfy at the drive in movies .it was a great time to be a kid.

Best ford ever built right next to the 1969 Mustang
High praise :-)
Exhaust note reminds me of a 1971 Ford Galaxy I owned for quite a few years. One time the muffler got disconnected, and my daughter and friends drove through the local movie theater parking lot. With no muffler the open exhaust set off about six car alarms before they got parked. They looked around, got back in the car and headed of to the mall before anything else happened. Even with the exhaust in proper shape that 400M had a GOOD exhaust note. It’s a car a friend gave me free and we ran it until it had 320,000 miles on it. I could write a book of wild stories regarding that old Ford!!
Ahhh that 1971 Ford Galaxie. Thank you for sharing, and sounds like good times :-)
What a beauty, and a 4 speed manual to boot. Sweet.
Hi Alex, Happy to read you enjoy this car :-) Lou
Lovely looking car. This looks like the same car that was in the movie *"Gran Torino,"* starring Clint Eastwood. :)
The car in the movie had the grille emblem attached in the wrong position.

They did a Superb job on this ‘72 Torino I wonder how many awards the owner has won.
I use to own a 1970 Mach 1 it’s original color was bright gold metallic with ginger deluxe interior.
I use to get some much attention as much as if I was driving a Ferrari. I sold it there’s not a day that I regret it. With today’s prices what they are selling for only if I win the lottery I would be able to own one again 👍👍
Hi Gus, May cost a fortune for the next one, however at least you had one for awhile. That's nice! Lou
All I can say is WOW what a beautiful car!! I had one in highschool automatic with black and white checker seat's. you'res is absolutely bad ass!!
Hi Karl Maier, Thank you for the wonderful comment and sharing details on yours back in high school :-) Lou
Beautiful car! My dad was a Ford salesman during this time period, and he always brought home different cars for me to fall in love with as a small boy. The Gran Torino was one of them. The problem I have now is that I'm always hoping these cars are going to have every option on them like Dad's. Sadly, they almost never do. Still a gorgeous car. Anyone remember Norwood Ford in Chicago?
Hi steve hoch, Happy to read you enjoy the looks of this car. Glad this car / video brings back good memories of the cars Dad would bring home :-) Lou
YESSIR ) to the good old Days ;.)

Back when these Torinos were new Tom McCahill of Mechanix Illustrated, whom readers could always count on for whimsical language, described them as "land-locked tunas sucking air". Ford called this particular model the SportsRoof, and the profile is really slick, even better with the laser stripe! Thanks, Lou, for making Clint's day...and mine!

Hi Stevie Jo, Happy to read you enjoy the looks and interior of this car :-) Lou
Beautiful, like it's in the showroom. To me I would like to see more of that earlier model yellow Torino parked next to it. I think the 1970, and 1971 Cobra style was the best body design Torino ever.
Hi Kevin, Happy to read you appreciate the condition of this car :-) Here is that Torino you wanted to see, enjoy! Lou th-cam.com/video/MgTbGh0U3WI/w-d-xo.html
@@loucostabile Thank you for that. My former in-laws had a similar '70 Torino Cobra. It was a long time ago, but I remember it was a kind of orange color, 429 but no hood scoop, bench seat with column shift automatic trans. I remember looking at the GM Quadrajet carb and thinking that was so weird with the current rivalary between Ford and GM that Ford would choose that carb. I always loved the Quadrajet. When those huge secondaries kicked in, you really had a tiger by the tail!
I had a 1973 Grand Torino Sport with a 351 Windsor with a 2 barrel carb. It was special ordered by a man who then did not buy it. So it set on the dealership lot for 2 months and my Mother bought it. Then she sold it to me when I was 16 in 1976. I kept it for 4 years. It was a fast, great handling car that was very reliable. Wish I had one today.
Hi raythackston1960, Thank you for viewing and sharing your story of your 1973 :-) Lou
raythackston1960 ...makes ya wish now you would have kept it....i hate those feelings...so now i barely sell anything ...this car was my favorite year model among Grand Torino Sports...
I liked the 1973 the best. I liked the grill and front end better. I also like the fastback better than the regular coupe. They were very good cars...and lasted a long time. One of Fords better built cars in my opinion.
raythackston1960 ..i like those also...but i just happen to own a cpple of Mopars....a 73 Road Runner...and a 74 gold Duster...but i sure wudnt mind owning a Grand Torino too...
I owned a 71 and a 73 Challenger and a 73 Barracuda back in the 80's. Wish I had never let them go now. But I was young and a drummer out on the road and had no time for Hot Rods anymore. Like they say...you live and you learn.
This car is a dream. Green never looked so good!
High praise :-)
my moms first was 1972 Ford gran torino, she got it in 1984 for $100. she still has pictures of it. it had a 302 with a automatic transmission. my mom owned alot of cool cars in her life time, like a 1976 Vega built out of 2 cars and made into 1. my uncle was a really big muscle car guy back in his day, but he has dementia and can't take apart an engine now, I feel so bad for him. But he had a 1967 Plymouth cuda with a 383. but get this here, MANUAL STEERING, MANUAL BRAKES, EVEN A MANUAL TRANSMISSION. He sold it a long time ago but now he regrets it. That's a pretty cool car man
Hi Lucas Aldrich, You have a pretty cool Mom & Uncle for sure. Thank you for viewing and sharing her story, Lou

My uncle had this very same car but in blue. He built the 351 Cleveland that was in it. Bored it out a little with new cam and Carb and intake plus headers. Was a sweet car.
Hi terry breedlove, Thank you for viewing and sharing details of a car you're familiar with :-) Lou
They barely say anything about the cold air package on this car, Does anyone know how freeking rare that is ???!!! This is the first one i've ever actually seen !!!! Not to Mention to see this car with a 4 speed and Laser stripe is also really really rare! The car looks Pristine a truly fine example....To bad it's Green on Green.....
Robert Stewart thank you! I noticed these things also. The presentation on this channel is usually quite poor. I'm not subscribed it just shows up on my YT feed.
I don't know how many were built with the 351 CJ but, the way I understand it, the functional hood was standard on them. Don't quote/hate me on that cause I'm not sure. Thank you though for reminding me that they were called "laser stripes"! I was racking my brain trying to remember what those reflective decals were called! It's a beautiful car and I'd love to be its caretaker. Even though I prefer black, I wouldn't kick it out of the garage because it's green lol!

Holy crap, until he started it I didn't think it even had oil in it!!!

For my 02 the best looking musclecar, classy, not too big and will go. plus nobody has one but a lucky few.
Always really liked the styling of the 72-73 Gran Torino Sport even though they werent as powerful as say a 69 428CJ Fastback or a 70 429SCJ Drag Pack Torino. But really really sharp aggressive looking cars. And those 1972-73 351CJ engines could be made to go fast with very minimal modifications
By 1972 they were not muscle cars anymore.....
Thanks for viewing & sharing.
It’s my dream car 🚗
Hi Nicholas, Happy to read this one is a "dream car" for you :-) Lou
At the Ford HQ, 1970, an early spring morning:
Engineer 1: "hey, man, I got some Pinto rear lights left over. What are we going to do with them?"
Engineer 2: "Hm, I don't know, let's make something big and fast and make them fit in a big heavy fat chrome bumper".

Thank you soo much Lou, The 1972 Gran Torino Sport, especially in this Green Colour, is my Favorite Torino next to the 1970 Ford Torino cobra wich was Parked right next to it :-)

Growing up in the 70s my mother had the same car same color 351 Cleveland. My Brother had 2 1 red with a Cobra jet he built and a stock black one. My mother put hers in a telephone pole winter of 1976

Lou, thanks for yr reply. Really enjoy yr videos . Beautiful Gran Torino Sport in yr video. I bought a new 76 Cougar XR7 it had the exact Ford 8 track that was in the Torino u featured. I was quite disappointed when the dealer told me I could not order an 8 track in my 73 Montego that was not an option until 1974 model year they told me.
Keep up the great work!
Hi Jamey Moore, Thank you for sharing your cars and experiences too. Happy to read you're enjoying the Channel with me and glad you're along for the ride :-) Lou
I had a 74 Cougar XR7. It had a 8 track and so I sent away for the music club for 1 cent. I was a dumb kids. I received several 8 track tapes. My cougar was comfortable inside with a leather interior but burn oil like hell.

Had a rim blow horn on my 69 mach 1 . It had a 428 super cobra jet and no power steering. You had to grip the wheel so hard when it was not moving to turn the wheel the horn would blow...
Sounds like a fun car Jack :-)
