1968 Ford Torino GT - A Better Idea

- After years of obscurity in the mid-size muscle car market, Ford finally got serious and introduced the 2-door 1968 Torino GT. When equipped with the 390 cubic-inch V8 or the Cobra Jet 428 cubic-inch V8, the Torino was now a serious threat to its competition. The 1968 Torino GT allowed Ford to be a sales leader in the mid-size muscle car segment.
I love how cars back then had up to six engine options. These days you're lucky if you have two.
Those cars had so much time testing in the wind tunnel , they have almost 0 wind noise at 70-80 mph
Now just ELECTRIC 🤬
Blame the EPA. For every powertrain combination (including manual transmission) it needs to be tested. Not cheap and it also takes time. Add in parts and devopment cost of offering more options with the complexity of modern engines, and sadly, options are a thing of the past.
My late brother, a Ford mechanic, had two of the fastbacks with the 390 plus his own engine performance mods. He was fond of saying it would pass everything on the road but the gas station. The first model was stolen the day after leaving the body shop (Hmmmm) and was recovered 5 years later after winning its bracket at a local drag strip. Thanks for the memories. Narragansett Bay.
I wish I still had my '68 Torino GT fastback. 390 cid, 4 speed. Maroon with gold stripes, and a white interior. I had too much fun with it, and the judge sent a letter to the state suggesting, they never let me register it again....LOL. He also gave me the option of military service, or the crossbar hotel. I sold the car, and joined the Army.
yankeewatchdog....Hooah
yankeewatchdog - They used to offer that option back then
Now they just turn violent criminals free
Thank you for your service from Canada
Hopefully you been discharged from the Army by now. 🪖
My first car was a 1971 Ford Torino ! It had a 302 engine and was a four door car ! I loved that car ! I had a lot of great times in that ride ! Love this video and thanks for posting !
In '74, when I was 20, I traded my handmedown '66 Valiant on a '69 Torino GT. Think I paid $1000 for it. It had a 390 and a Holly 750 4bbl. I took it to Midas and had it converted from a single exhaust to dual Cherry Bomb glass packs To this day, it still one of my favorite cars I've ever owned.
My step dad and I had a '71 Torino 500 and we loved that car. I remember us working on it and teaching me about it. In fact I placed that very car in my books.
When I was a kid my dad had a 72 torino with a 390 4 speed. I can't say anything about performance as it was gone before I was old enough to drive, but I still remember how pretty it was. I also remember how scary/fun it was to be thrown around on dirt roads. Dad liked to DRIVE and nobody used belts in those days.☺
HAD A 390 GT TORINO, PUT A 735 HOLLY CARB ON IT, IT STAYED RIGHT WITH AND EVEN BEAT SOME 428'S. IT WAS MEDIUM BLUE METALLIC AND HAD AN AUTOMATIC TRANS, THIS WAS MY FAVORITE FORD EVER. I MISS IT SOOO MUCH.
I had a 1976 Ranchero GT back in the day with the 351 2V engine and automatic transmission. Was a very comfortable car with a very nice interior, power brakes, and steering along with A/C and with snow tires it went better than most two wheel drive pickups did even with no weight in the back.
I’ve had 3 Torino GT Fastbacks, 2 were 69’s , 351 and automatic and the one I still have is a 68 candy apple red, black bucket seat , 302 4 speed car. Just love those fastbacks
Honestly one of my dream cars, love everything about them
Better get one before they skyrocket in price. I think I'm going to try to find my old GT. I've been told it's still in the area...
Had a white 68 Torino gt. My first car. Back in1974
Still miss my mom's gulfstream aqua 69 Torino GT. Fun car! Thanks for the memories!
Back in 68 my dad and I went down to the local Ford Mercury dealer and bought a new highland green Cylone, the Merc version of the Torino. A few months later he totaled it on a trip down east, no one was hurt. He got a 68 Camaro convertible as a replacement, but I really liked the Cyclone.
I drove the sports roof Torino 428 even in auto it could have blown away my 66 GTO.. It was also lighter, handled better and was far more fun.
Love the term "Cobra Jet".
I had several, they were reliable , fast, low maintenance.
The Fastback had a terrible "body roll" affect on them so cornering was poor.
Cornered great at Daytona
@@guysumpthin2974 after extreme suspension body modification . I could do that w a 72 C10 Box pickup too!!
The 1968 Torino is a hot looking car.
ew1usnr there is rumors of a new one even a concept picture that’s either a mustang redisighn that looks like a tprino or is a Torino
ew1usnr I agree, but the ‘70-‘72 Torino’s are far better looking.
$85,000
350 cubic
I like the 1970 and on,,was the TALLADEGA A gt?
My ultimate favorite Ford Torino's are the 1972-1976! Those had better styling, IMHO.
First car was a '69 428 Torino Cobra Jet; 4 speed, 351 rear end, drag-pack with cold air scoop. The car had vacuum assisted disks and manual steering. What a hoot.
You didn't need power steering for going in a straight line, you only needed power front disc brakes for stopping fast at high speeds!
When I was in 6th grade, our school's Art Teacher (Mrs. Plannels), had a green with gold stripes Fastback GT. It was the hottest car in the school's lot and attracted a whole lot of us to go and admire it when she 1st got it!!!!
Ford's answer to 68 Chevelle NASCAR fastest car was Torino back then.
David Pearson #17 Torino.
Cale Yarborough #21 Mercury Cyclone
Richard Petty #43 Roadrunner.
Bobby Alison #12 Chevelle .
I owned one in the mid 70's...had the fastback with the 302/2bbl package...midnight Blue with a 3spd on the floor. Loved that car...handled great, purred like a kitten and was great in the snow.
Wow, this is amazing. Thank you for all of the backstory yesterday I just picked up a 1968 Torino GT Gulfstream blue with aqua interior. I didn’t think I would be so moved by the car when I looked at the pictures but when I saw it in person, I was just floored how amazing it is, I was lucky enough to find a car with almost no rust, dents and original paint that survived half a century of life. I am going to bring her back to original glory as any classic survivor should be. The weirdest thing, though it was supposed to have bucket seats and a four shift but my car came from the factory with column shift and front bench possibly because of the UAW strikes.
My grandfather ordered one of these in '69 but he never got it and bought a Road Runner instead...
My grandfather actually bought a Roadrunner brand new in 69 too. 383/4 speed. To this day he still says it's his favorite car he's ever owned
@@jeremythompson9895 I got to ride in a Road Runner once I was maybe 14... boy was that a thrill. 2 years later a ride in a 64 tri-power Goat proved to be the "One for fun"
@@jeremythompson9895 - As a teen I used to check out the Road Runners at the local Plymouth dealer. Sticker price was around $3200 to $3400.
Had a 1968 XL fastback. Hideaway headlights,black with red interior. 428 ,four speed. No power brakes no power steering. On of the baddest and sleek looking cars ever made.
Howard McCauley Did you put the 428 in there?
Rode in a 68 Torino GT 390 2v when it was new and also a new 69 Torino Cobra. These were well made cars.
The '68 Fairlane/Torino was my favorite Ford of the late '60s, and the formal coupe was my favorite body, with styling that was clean and sleek. I've test driven several over the years, and even with the 302, they were really peppy. Also, the interior trim, with a generously padded dash, and even padded roof pillars, was quite luxurious, not to mention safer. Luxuries that were mostly replaced with nasty, hard plastic during the cost-cutting '70s. I believe American family-cars should've stayed about this size and weight, instead of becoming the wretched, bloated, excesses we got a few years later!
My late aunt once had a 1968 Fairlane...the plain Jane model in the lineup...with a 390 that was interstate
solid!
I had 56 Bel Aire two door hardtop, 454 hooked up to a turbo 400 Maroon with Black interior, four wheel disc brakes, sporting Cragar Mags...only thin original was the back seat and body..suspension totally reworked....My first new car was a 1968 Torino black on black fastback. Wish I still had both
Great video the Torino is one of the forgotten muscle cars that deserves more respect. Also I thought some of the 68 models had an option for a 428 ci V8 police interceptor motor or the 428 cobra jet. I know for sure that some of the older Fairlanes had the 428 police interceptor motor, but I was curios of the Torino had it too?
Friend of mine ordered from Circle Ford in suburban Philly stripped down '68 Fairlane Sports Coupe 428 CJ, the first I ever saw. It was a SCREAMER!!!! Spring/Summer 1968.
My dad had this car when I was just a kid, made me climb in the back and keep that rear window clean. Man, that was an arm buster.
You brought back some painful memories ... I HATED cleaning that back window...LOL...but loved the car.
My Dad ordered a 1968 Ford Torino GT Sportsroof in October 1967 and was produced and delivered to the dealership in late January 1968.
Meadowlark Yellow (Code W), with Gold Bucket Seat and Console Interior (No Headrests) and a Black C Stripe. Ordered with that 427-4V but Built with the 428-4V... My 1st Car in June of 1973... wish i still had it!
Good review, thanks and I do know of one 1968 Torino GT 427/Gold Sportsroof/Black Bench Seat Interior that I did see but was crushed in the Blizzard of 1977 Snow Storm in Buffalo, NY.
Mike...
another smart men believing in the Ford product built right buddy the Ford motor all Outlast that junk Chevrolet motor any day I'm going to tell you like I told some other people the reason why he's Seymour Chevrolet going down the quarter mile than any other car that would be because they blow so quickly it's cheaper to rebuild the garbage you have a great day
+Joseph Taverna .You right about 62 - 71 Ford product being reliable.
Joseph Taverna Chevrolet is world renowned for making great stuff and the small block Chevy is famous for long running maintenance free performance. Plus GM was always ahead of Ford in design and refinement pretty much at any time post 55. Still is IMHO
Tristan Clark Chevy built as many bad small blocks as good. You had to roll the dice.
Thanks for the posting. Nice to see a fairly educational post rather than all the hype and exaggeration seen in many.
My first car ford Torino and I only paid 350, and love it. 1973, that I got in 1976.
The only way you’d get a three year old car for $350 in 1976 is if the car was totalled.
My first muscle car is a 97 thunder lx v8 FULLY LOADED. I picked it up for 1500$ in 2019. Smog and not a speck of rust on it.
That reminds me of my 68 Galaxy XL Fastback. Probably my favorite car of all time.
One of Ford's nicest offerings in my opinion. Beautiful car, outstanding color too.
Sexy Fords, for sure. Late 60's & '70 & '71 Torinos were great.
I'll never forget my Dad had a 67 Fairlane sedan, rust brown. Even as a child, I hated that car. However, it did last, even though the floor dimmer switch once caught on fire! However, I loved the Torino and my first car was a used 75 Torino coupe.
I really like the look of these cars. The 428's 335 hp figure is actually around 410 hp stock. Not the craziest number but pretty strong for that day. Could u imagine supercharging a 302 Torino? Old school get away car.
I loved my 68 Torino GT Notchback. 351W/ FMX. Best gas mileage of any V8 I ever owned.
Gregory Timmins - It was a 1969 or a re-engined '68, since the 351 was NOT available until the '69 model year. And that 351 was, indeed, a GREAT fuel economy option, and had adequate power, as well.
I had one. It was my first and favorite.
Thank you for making this video.
My first car was a 70 Torino GT with the 351 Cleveland.
My older brother bought a 68 Torino GT when he was 16 in 1977. It looked just like the one at about 11.40 the only difference is the color was maroon with the white stripe. It was a 390 with a four-speed. It was the fastback roof line
This is STILL one of the BEST auto enthusiast YT channels ever! Amazing stuff!
My friend had a 1969 version of this that came from the factory with a Boss 302 and factory three-speed. You could rearrange the pavement with that sucker 😀👍
Sure he did...my friend had a factory 429 pinto.
@@salvadordollyparton666 You wish you were there. Or at least wish you knew what you were talking about. It's hard to know what's real from the safety of your mom's basement.
Roy LeMeur Son, Ford didn’t make a Boss 302 Version of the Torino. Your comment exposes your stupidity and ignorance.
If it really did have a "Boss 302", it would have to have been special ordered, and most likely would have had to have special permission from someone in the Ford motor company brass to have approved it.
🤔🤔🤔🤔
When comparing sales numbers, you should remember that the GTO, Chevelle, Buick GS, and Olds 442 were variants of the same car, which together far outsold the Torino. Just thought that needed to be mentioned.
In general I lean to General Motors vehicles however the Ford Torino GT has always been one of my favorites I'm always wanted one and hope to have one someday I think they're extremely undervalued for what they are
I was 15 and worked for a local Ford dealership the summer of 1968. The fastback version was a bear to clean the inside of the rear window but I loved washing and driving all those new cars.
The Cougar Eliminator was another nice sleeper 69 n 68 ain't bad Xr7.
The Cougars are elegant, muscle cars. I have owned two 67 Shelby GT 500's , the last with a 427 side oiler and a top loader 3.91 Detroit Drag Pack . I want a68 or 69 Cougar rag top with a four speed. The 351 Cleveland is a great motor.
'68 Eliminator,,,,,,,,To me the Cougar looked much better that the Mustang
Petey Pon you mean xr7 68 didn’t have the eliminator
@@peteypon2974 My thoughts the same,love the Cougars of them years.
Vernon Findlay Same here and I find it strange that more came equipped with 427's. I would have thought the Torino a more suited car for a 427.
As exciting as an episode of "Hazel". Love that reference.
My neighbor had a brand new '68 GT 390 Torino 4 speed, red with white stripes and a white leather interior. It was my first attempt at driving a car with a stick because I had never driven a car before. I remember that he always wiped it down before he put it in the garage. 6 years later I purchased a '69 Fairlane Sportsroof stripper with a factory installed 428 Super Cobra Jet and a 4 speed. If I ever find that same exact car again, I will sell my battle axe of a wife for it . It would be a good deal too, because she's a great cook!
My Mom had one of those... She hated the doors on it, due to the heavy and long aspect... also the windows always whistled at highway speed... The cross-member under the engine would bottom out when hitting a dip in the road.. Had like an upside down cow catcher made out of plate steel under it... I remember the gas mileage of around 8 to 10 mpg. and it being finicky about the octane level.
I like this channel. I seem to learn a lot about cars in your videos. I know different car models pretty well, but I don't know a ton about cars but I'm interested in learning so I'm glad you have put up these videos. Thanks.
I loved the Ford Torino even into the 1970's, they made them until 1976 (Starsky & Hutch) and it was STILL cool and available with horsepower when all the others had quit!
All i can say is (GET OFF MY LAWN) Clint Eastwood-Gran Torino
I still have my 1969 Toronto cobra sport roof four speed disc brakes in the front it not a bad driving car you just have to watch out for bad blind spot rear sides one of my favorite old cars
Better hang on to it. A Canadian (Toronto) Cobra must be a one off and extremely rare. I suspect no one has ever heard about one.
That is a bad car!!!
Ford issue during this time frame of the Torino's was rear gear all wrong and of course tires. If a 1968 Torino with a 428 and C6 auto trans had a rear gear of something like 3.73 it would have been a shear beast.
But the 390 and 351W were quite strong.
my Dad had the 68 Torino GT with a 390. 4-11 rearend , 4 speed Granny, In north oklahoma took out Every Chevy around was First Torino unloaded off the track in oklahoma , Still my Dream Car ,candy apple red with a Black G-Stripe
@@davidiramills Hey dumb fuk!!! They never put 4 speed Granny trans in cars !!! Trucks only !!!! DUUUUUHH!!!!!!
Wilbur Finnigan actually yes they did, they are a very rare package. It was meant for the drag strip and only around 40 came that way. My dad personally owns a Mercury Cyclone with the 428 cobra jet with a 4 11 gear ratio in the rear end, do some research before you call people names when your the “dumbass” that’s wrong
My wife had one exactly like the turquoise one in the opening, when she was my girlfriend, the upper a arm broke, I got it home with a chain wrapped around my 58 Ford pickup back bumper, a little iffy!!!
I luv this particular big Ford coupe. It's about the style and time in history. It's just so cool. 1968 is my favorite overall American car year anyway.
I was in HS in the '60's MidWest which was VERY car crazy. I liked the Torino then but the Mustang alot better. Thing was there weren't that many Torino's around then and certainly not any with a performance package. Great vid!!
NO TORINOs with performance packages! You are certainly WRONG about that! , They 429 Cobra jets and 429 super Cobra jets both with 4 speed sticks! I knew a guy that had a68 Torino with the 390 S code 4 speed, he tuned it up with new points, condenser and plugs , was doing 130 miles an Hour ! And said it wasn't running right! .
I had a 68 gt convertible -390 and c6 automatic with buckets and console in dark blue with black interior.I loved tha car!
I had one! My '68 had the 390, a Hurst four speed on the floor, four barrel Holly carburetor. Off white interior, series 60 tires (if my memory is good).
2005 FOB here , at first I don't like the looks of the muscle cars, more like mutual feeling . 2008 when I was in high school I felt in love with muscle cars, 1, I had a muscle car book and saw many cars loos awesome like GTO, camero, corvette, cuda, 454 chevell, felling proud to know I'm the only Chinese from China driving a supercharged 05 mustang gt ,stick
Kawaii Ninja...stick with Fords bro, stay clear of any and all GM (Garbage Motors) vehicles, cuz GM products are trash....here in the states, only douchebags drive GM vehicles...
Are you absolutely sure of that comment Branon? I can name at least a half-dozen GM vehicles that were great. Stop having blind and unfounded brand loyalty.
BTW, I am more of a fan of the U.S. Independent Makes (such as Studebaker, Kaiser, Willys, Packard, Nash, Hudson, and AMC) so you cannot call me biased for GM.
Branon Fontaine... let me guess you probably drive a pocket rocket rice burner with spray painted black wheels and an exhaust that sounds like air pissing out of a balloon.
General Motors designed, engineered, powerful, performing muscle cars before Ford.
Ever hear of Chevrolet Corvette from the early 1950s?
Imagine that and they're still building them today for upscale clientele.
Did not have one but I drove one with the 390 with a bad boy
I had a 64 fairlane. 289. Special. Loved it
I love this channel. A buddy of mine had the 1973 Torino.
Have you ever considered doing the 1969-1970 Mercury Marauder?
I had the X-100 with the 429, 4 barrel. Longer, wider and heavier, I blew the doors off a 289 Mustang.
My grandpa had one of these back in the day my mom tells of her being scared when he started it
had a 68 fairlane 500 fastback with 289 in the 70`s and should never have let that car go
Very cool video I think that I was born one generation too late, I was born in Toronto in '72 and loved cars as a kid
I bought a used 1968 Torino GT with the 320hp 390 4V and the wide-ratio Toploader 4-speed. One of the best-handling cars ever to come out of Detroit to that time. Still one of my two favorite cars of all time. The other? My wife's 1963 Fairlane 500 Sports Coupe, original engine/transmission was a 2V 260 with two-speed Ford-O-Matic. I replaced that drivetrain with a 351W 4V and C-4 automatic. With a set of premium Pirelli tires, that little Fairlane rode better and handled as well as my buddy's stock 1965 Shelby GT350! And that was just about the time all Mustangs started a price rebound, so I came out ahead in that department, too!
Such a good looking car.
A friend had a Dark Green 428cj parked front of his house, never drove it while in High School with me, then joined the forces after graduating became a Marine, never heard of him & the car sat for years right where I'd seen it the 1st time.
Don't think I've seen this video before. I have a GT390 here in the UK, one of only 4 here, and the only blue one! I've owned it fourteen years now and love it to bits. Such an underrated and great fun car. Search 1968 Torino 390/445 for a few short vids of it if you like. The 445 stroked FE really woke it up! 😉👍🏻💙
I learned to drive in my dad's 69 Fairlane 302. It was an automatic, jade green two door, but it had lots of power and was a blast to drive...………..especially to a 17 year old kid. I now know why the old man didn't let me drive it very often unless it was to go pick up my grandmother.
My dad bought the 1969 Talledega after selling his 64 Galaxy 500 convertible. That car was awesome.
Mine was a 390 GT Sportsroof in gold with the black c-stripes. Also had the T&C top loader 4-speed transmission, sometimes called the Rock Crusher crusher because it was virtually indestructible and had the reputation among drag racers of being able to handle much more shock than the heavy-duty Muncie M-22 Rock Crusher. Smoothest-shifting transmission available in its day, untill the linkage wore out...
Hey quit ragging on Hazel, the fact you know it means you liked it. Go Shirley Booth.
That's funny, I like that!
Hazel was the most boring show of the early 60s. Every episode was Hazel nagging people to support some social justice cause like "new 'pawk' for the kids, cleaning up the town dump. Just shut up, Hazel and bake a dozen of gooey brownies for Mr. B.
It's better than most shows today! I'll say that.
I googled the 68’ Torino GT, I can not believe how many photos (worthy of framing) models and other types of art featuring the car are for sale.
Popular car memory.
Great video.
First, 1968 brought the restyled Charger.
Second, most buyers buyer the design and spent the paycheck on the chick in 1968.
Third, your local Gestapo eyeballed and write up cars with muscle badges. Your insurance company loved the premium too.
I was 24 back in '68, I bought a '64 Mercury Merauder, girl friend got a '65 Comet Cyclone. We got married and wanted a hot car. Fords HP ratings steered me to a '68 442. Very happy turning low 14 seconds.
I had one of the 390 with a 4 bbl. it was so fast it was insane.
Had a 1972 Gran Torino with metallic green paint and a 351C 2cv. It was pretty beat but I out ran a friend's 1964 Impala SS.
1968 was an awesome year for cars.
Very Nice and well communicated for me as an European lover of muscle cars!
D'Souza has a simple understandable way of explaining things. He needs to be heard by the masses.
Almost makes me want to start looking to add to my collection! It's got that fast look, and is fast!
A real good friend owned one of these in 1987-8 before getting a brand new 1988 Mustang GT. He had the 428-3 spd and though it was pretty ragged out it was still quite fast. He could run about a 15.0 quarter on street tires. I loved riding in that car (I had a jade green 1976 El Camino that no one wanted to ride in) and seeing some of these pics brought back a lot of memories, including the smell of the vinyl. It had no AC and summer in Texas is hot but it was a great car for a teenager to ride around in.
hckyplyr9285 How did the 3 speed make it behind a 428? Ford put a 4 speed or an auto in the Torino.
67' Ranchero. With a three on the column. WOW!
Beautiful! I remember that Car. My Folks almost bought one for My Brother
Back in the day, I owned a '68 Plymouth GTX 440 4-Spd. While I really liked the Torino GT 390 Fastback styling, they were not up to beating me in numerous street battles. It got so bad, I had to stop racing them because I knew I could beat them, I got bored. My 50 extra inches and about 50 extra hp., stock to stock, it was no problem beating them. I still think they are one of the most beautiful muscle cars produced by anyone.
I bought one new in 68. Had the 390, 4 speed, 335 hp, 3:32 gears, Hyland Green with gold strip. Added hooker headers, wheelie bars, 4:56 gears, dual point dist, Goodyear Cheaters and ran 13.02 and 13.08 best times in F/S. I still have the car. Got married in 1970, installed a different third member from a Thunderbird at 2:73 . Drove to Florida on honeymoon 70 MPH was only 1800 RPM. Got almost 30 miles per gallon! Later on rebuilt engine with a RV cam. Terrible for power, but good for mileage. Painted car a second time in red. Had to paint on the strip in gold because I could not find the tape strip kit. That was back in 1982. Rebuilt the engine again in 1995. Built it with a 427 solid lifer cam and Demon carb. Runs better than it ever did. The cam is great mid range with the 3:50 gears I have now. Stored car in pole barn 3 years. Big mistake as mice destroyed the interior. Insurance paid for that rodent damage. Found seat stuffing in both mufflers. Insurance paid for that. Found seat stuffing inside bell housing which damaged clutch and throw out bearing. Insurance paid for that too. Car is not restored but I still say "respectable". I lost my sales receipt and drag strip time tickets that were in the glove box when the mice made a home in the car. It's still a ONE OWNER and I am glad I still have it.
I owned a 1968 Ford Torino Fastback in dark green. It was very nice looking, but it only had a straight 6. I wish it had a 428 Cobra jet. i would have kept it a very long time.
When I was in high school I bought a 68 Ford Torino 2 door hardtop for the 390 Factory 4-speed
I owned my Grandmother's '69 Mercury Cyclone in high school. Would love to see a show done on these more upscale Torino's too.
I had a 68 Mercury Cyclone.
I loved that car except when it came time to clean the inside of the rear window.
@@colehara haha true that space was LONG and tight
I love the 68 and 71 torino, but 74 is my all time favorite.
juice_03 Why, they were dogs?
im about to restore a 68 gt fastback torino. cant wait.
Mister Tollison JT here good luck on your rebuild it's better a Ford than junk Chevrolet
Any progress? I’ve got one out back that my grandmother bought in 68’ it’s rough but restorable.
The aqua blue caught my attention.
My uncle had a Ford XL, the larger body fastback built on the Galaxy chassis, in aqua with white.
I bought his '66 Fairlane 500 XL, Candy Apple Red with black.
My sister had a red 68 Torino GT just like the one starting at 11:53. 302, auto, A/C it was a great car.
Loved my 69 - 1st car I ever owned. Mine was gold with black stripes
You’re channel is awesome. One of my favorite car channels. Everyone subscribe. Super boring intro but rest of video is fantastic. I love it. Thanks for your time and effort!!!!
nothing is clear what I said but I realized from the video that these cars will remain legendary for fans of classics and legends and as I also love cars and pony cars I automatically put a like for the legendary cars
Love the Hazel mention. Dude!
I bought a '68 Torino GT fastbacknew with 390 T-Bird Special and 4 speed. Probably my second favorite car, just behind the '63 Galaxie 500XL with 406CI/405 Hp. Gotta say that the ETs and trap times noted in this are well off and w-a-a-y off after I added the Ford/Holley tri power carb system, K cam and 427 distributor. The only reason the car went down the road was body and chassis rot at about 100K miles in 1980
EXCELLENT PRESENTATION !!!
