Wonderful car, wonderful. I'm a 60 year old disabled United States Navy Veteran. I owned a red one just like this when I was younger but fell on hard times and had to sell my car. I have always wanted to get another but I'm disabled now and can't afford to purchase one. I really loved my red 1969 Ford Torino GT it always turned heads. Now my car is only in my dreams. Thanks for bringing back my dream car on youtube. Thanks for the video ride, almost cried, it brought back all the great memories I had from when I rode around in my car. Well done and I salute you.
I have one too! I bought mine back in 2001 and drove it home over 300 miles. It's a convertible 390 4bbl Cruise-O-Matic Springtime Yellow. 93,000 original miles and never been overhauled. Still runs smooth and powerful. imgur.com/vYtoye6
Alan Jackson once sang "If I had money i'd tell you what i'd do"; well, let me tell you what I'd do, I'd buy that car and many more like it. Today's music is like today's cars, I have not much desire for any, give me all the old cars, Ford, Dodge, Chevy, i'd take any. That is one bitchin' ride. Thanks for sharing, what a possession for the buyer.
I thought that the first Grand Torino was in 1972, when intermediate cars were getting bigger and performance was giving away to luxury. In high school I had a 1971 Mustang and a friend had a 1972 Grand Torino Sport. This car was yellow, a fast-back, and had a hood scoop, with a 351C-2V!
@@josephdickerson5802 Wrong they are two different vehicles torino gt which stood for grand touring was produced from 1968 to 1971 grand torino wasn't produced till 1972.
One word and a few years. The Torino is the Ford midsize car of 1968-1971 but there were still NON Gran Torinos in the full frame, taller, heavier 72. Its important to be precise
I had the ultimate customer ordered 69 Torino GT, he couldn’t pay for it so I bought it new from dealer, as I recall it was well over $4200. And included a 390 with special cam ,lifters, etc.and interior was bucket seats with console mounted 3 spd automatic, had a/c and stereo ,white with red stripe and red interior. Had it evaluated at 450Hp, my first brand new car. Lasted18 months and over 50k miles. Was wrecked 9 times, almost all other drivers fault. I guess they thought the paint scheme was a bullseye.
I have the 1969 428 SCJ Mustang and it great, but your oversized and super heavy land yacht is not a muscle car its a boat anchor that dressed up to look cool.
I very much like the car but ffs !!! take the GT 14 inch steel wheels and put them away. And put some tire under the car. If nothing else get a set of 16 inch Torque Thrusts. Then dump that carb right in the garbage can. Get a C8 PI aluminum 428 intake and a 735 cfm Holley. PLEASE!!!!
He's selling it so the new owner can do that. That stuff ain't cheap, and I'd be damned if I'd dump all that cash into a car that would bring the same amount after the work was done.
well I dont recall saying he would get more money for it. You certainly didnt mention he was going to sell the car. Further more seemed pretty obvious to me that my suggestions were aimed towards having a better over all car period. Selling it is really irrelevant and ashame. None the less you never get back what you put in doing a car. I have never built a car that I expected to make money on. If im building one for myself I automatically know im not going to get more than half of what I have put in it. If I do i consider it a blessing . Most logical people who have built cars understand this from jump street. I build cars to perform first and foremost. They have to run very well. Then stop, and turn at the same level. When those conditions are met then I beat the shit out of them to make sure they are durable. And cosmetics is the last thing I focus on. Form follows function.

beautifull,i can just smell the interior.1968 car of the year motor trend magazine.
The way he describes that car , room, comfort, power, fun to drive, etc., sounds like me talking about my 65 Galaxie 500 .

That was my first car. used in 1979. loved it.
There was no such thing as a 'GRAN' Torino in 69....
There is a difference between Torino GT AND Gran Torino , this car is not a Gran Torino
The only difference is in the trim package gran Torino is just a luxury option Gt was sport model

there was never a 1969 gran torino.It was a TORINO.I had a 69.gran torino didn't come out until 1972.
You might be right about you're HP the stock 390 in the GT's made 325 HP stock + 410ftlbs of torque
How much did you sell it for and what motor size
This is a GT which means grand touring the grand torino wasn't produced till 1972.
I wasn't produced till 1975
Nice car for how much love Ford

Dude what is that song i love it propper 80's track
An Leah by Donnie Iris
Sorry. The Gran Torino wasn't introduced until 1972. It's just a Torino. Beautiful car, but not a Gran Torino.
Not being negative. I drive a 2018 Mustang GT premium, 6 speed manual, 460 HP, goes 0 to 60 mph in less than 5 seconds. Still like your Torino.
How much?
What are you asking?
It's not a Gran Torino!! They were just Torino's untill like 72
69 was Torino GT and I think a cooler car
Thanks sundby but I did see the gt on the door.
If that’s a GT, it’s a very plain Jane one.
@@RandyBurnettTalks 68 and 69 were the best body styles.
@@marcomoreno8188 Yes and there was a Mustang GT as well. GT stands for Gran Tourismo, or Grand Touring - not Gran Torino.
Not Grand Torino, that name came in 1970. Great car though😀
Whoa

Ya just add another set of torque thrust wheels out there ? Getting kinda old.

Clint Eastwood character said he put a part in the green one hE had parked burger garage
