- At a certain point in your car enthusiast or curious ownership journey you realize that you've spent way too much time researching old muscle cars. XD I know I didn't cover near everything but I was really tying to clear up the whole Gran Torino, Torino GT thing. I hope you enjoyed! Thanks for watching!
Great history of Torinos!! I never noticed that they changed the grills in 68 and 69. One of my favorite cars that I owned was a 73 Torino that was special ordered with a 4-speed and 351-4v Cleveland. ( I bought it from the original owner) It also came with a 3.50 :1 positraction. I owned it in High School and it surprised a lot of cars on the street. One of my favorite memories was when we got pushed for a race. The kid called my car a grocery-getter and other comments! When the light turned green. His car stumbled and I could see him in my rearview mirror by the time I got into second gear. My friend and I were laughing at him so hard I couldn't drive. He was so mad that He pulled up and yelled a bunch of obscenities at us. Told us "he would be back after he installed a 428 CJ".
The people I sold that Torino to junked it out for the drive train to put in a Model T. When I found out, It broke my heart! If I knew what they were planning on doing with it, I would have never sold it to them.
That’s a funny story!😂
Hey, it's nice to see you've done your research! Keep up the great work on the Torino. It's looking and sounding real good!
Thank you!
Great information. Well done!
Thanks!
In 1968, the Torino was offered, very rare, with a 390hp, hydraulic lifter 427
. The last body style, 72-76, only had the sportsroof in 72 and 73. The 72s had a fake hood scoop, the 73s did not. The Torino actually started morphing into the Ford Elite in 1975.
Really? I thought the 427 wasn't offered, only the 428 Cobra-Jet. I know it was originally planned to have a 427 but I thought the workers' strike meant 422's weren't built. Maybe why the 427 was "very rare". - Thanks. Learn something everyday.

Wouldn't the plural be "Torini?"
Never heard that one before😂😂 That’s hilarious though!
