    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!

    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!

    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!

    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!

    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!

    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.

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 ⚾⚾
