The car's Owner is Rich Sarginger. Rich’s had this car since 1979. He shares at 15 years old he worked at a Junkyard and shared with the Owner of the Junkyard that he’d like to work and purchase one of the cars in the yard. The Owner agreed and this is that car!

One word nostalgic

Lou, In my opinion one of the most handsome of the muscle cars. And, with the 351 Cleveland one of the most streetable. Terrific all-'rounder!
Hi Audie, Happy to read this one is "handsome" :-) Thank you for viewing and sharing, Lou
Damn i bought a 1970 torino GT in 1979 it was maroon and had a 429. I was 15. Had a permit. $700 bucks. It had bad paint from a house fire. So i painted it black. Otherwise mint condition. I had it till i was 21. Then gave it to my best friend. He kinda trashed it but offered it back to me when my son was 15. I was then 40. To many memories so i turned it down. Been wanting one ever since. Hard to find. Love seeing this car. I had the louvers and honeycomb lights but a different grill. Maybe i will find one some day and buy it.

Best body design of the Torino Lou, period
High praise Paul :-)
I'm always impressed to see these early 70's Torino's restored. They were notorious for the body panels rotting. He did a great job. Love Torinos, a 1975 was my first car.
Hi HWolfeIII, Happy to read this car brings back memories of your 1st car :-) Thank you for viewing and sharing, Lou
A really nice owner with a simply gorgeous Torino GT!
Win / Win :-)
Love this car Lou. I mentioned before that as a youth I collected auto brochures and factory price lists for cars between 66 and 80. I do not remember spinners being offered on the Mag 500 wheels
I love their look...perhaps it was an aftermarket accessory. Also love the optional laser stripe that was offered on the Torino GTs.
Hi Larry Hawkins, High praise for this car :-) Lou
Love the car! Torino rules!
:-)
My daddy had one of these I was born in 73 remember riding in as a kid...my dream car even thou I'm a chevy girl 😆..beautiful car

Wow! You're right, Lou: You won't miss this one coming down the road. What a great car & car story. Thanks for sharing both with us!
Hi TheGunfighter45acp, Glad to receive a "Wow!" from you :-) Happy to read you enjoy the car & story. You're welcome, Lou
I can fully understand his affection for that car. Working for a car like that at age 15, shows dedication. Gotta admire that! And the work he put into the car - very impressive, both in deed and results! WOW! And to have it autographed by "The Man" himself? Just - like - WOW! Kewlness!
High praise ImTheDaveman :-) Glad to read a "WOW!" from you, Lou
I've got an identical car...but it's a Ranchero GT...Calypso coral,351 4V, hideaway headlights. It's a bit beat up but COMPLETELY
original(paint and stripes,interior,motor and trans,etc.). It's faded and tattered and suspension is about shot. Motor and trans are
still very strong and have never been apart. Yes,it's still driven.
Hi yt white, Glad to read you have a Ranchero you're enjoying that looks like this car. Thank you for viewing & sharing, Lou
RICH YOUR CAR LOOKS AS GOOD IN PERSON AS IT DOES NOW.GREAT JOB MY FRIEND.
Glad you enjoy this one Kevin DosSilva :-) Hope you see many more cars on the Channel you'll enjoy, Lou

Hi Hisham Elfiki, Glad you enjoy this "beautiful classic" :-) Thank you for viewing and sharing. Hope you have a great weekend too, Lou
This is a very nice Ford! That idle is awesome. Thanks, Lou. I still miss the 1971 Ford Galaxy I got free in the early 90s. After a cheap engine rebuild on the 400M we ran it up to over 320,000 miles. It was rusty, had actually been totaled twice, and needed a lot of work, so was junked in Dec.2007. In January of 2017 we got a letter from the police in Austin, Texas wanting us to pay a fine, because it had blown through a toll booth on the freeway without paying! The Wisconsin collector plates were still on the car! Old Fords don’t die, they just keep going faster.
Hi Fred and Debra MacDonald
, Happy to read this one brings back memories of your 71 Galaxie :-) Thank you for viewing, sharing, and you're welcome, Lou
Just a great example....happy you found it!
Nice :-)
I've had 7 of these over the years My firsts was a GT 302 ,,3 spd. On the tree for 350.00 then a 351,then a 429 thunder jet, I liked the 351 the best for road racing ,,ighter motor handler's better in the corners truly a great car
High praise for this car :-)
back in the days when regular people could afford new cars
:-)
@@loucostabile now only down payment and monthly payment even with good credit
@@loucostabile except for me and my uncle we fix cars for cheap we buy a 2014 hyundai santa Fe not working no start 1200$ cash and fix it up there we go new used car
I have always loved the '70 Torino, like he said, there are always Mustangs at shows, but very few if any Torino's. Thanks for the show and tell. Awesome ride ! !
Hi Steve C, Happy to read you enjoy this "Awesome ride ! !" :-) My pleasure sharing with you, and you're welcome, Lou

Beautiful torino
Hi Carlos, Happy to read you enjoy the looks of this Torino :-) Lou
Hey Lou that was just awesome! Sorry we didn't get to see the headlights open.up. I love the color.and the engine sound! A real.treasure that owner has! Thanks for sharing Lou!
Hey Steve Flad, Glad you think this one is "awesome" :-) Agreed great color and sound. You're welcome, Lou
So many old school muscle cars from back then that still stands out from new cars now in days I think that if you own a 60’s early 70’s car you’re riding with style lol thanks lou as always great find!!👌
Hi DAn Al, You're right that these cars stand out. You're welcome, Lou
'70 was my favourite year for Torinos. It has covered headlights, which I liked on Torinos AND Rancheros.
Glad to read you were able to see a car on the Channel that's a favorite :-)
Thanks Lou awesome job!! Rich is very pleased!!!
Hi Glenda Williams, Glad to read Rich is very pleased :-) I had fun, thank you. You're welcome, Lou
My mom had a 70 Torino as her first car. Yellow with white interior. Same motor as this one. Sometimes I wish she still had it. Great looking cars!! Good choice Lou and a nice story with this one.
Hi patty .s, Mom's got a GREAT first car :-) Thank you for viewing and sharing. Happy you enjoy this car, Lou
That’s probanly the nicest looking Torino I’ve seen. Love the colors.
High praise Gene Still :-) Glad you enjoy the looks of this one. Lou
One of the best looking muscle cars ever.
And not to mention that 351 Cleveland - one of the greatest allround American V8's...
High praise :-)
Hey Lou. Another fun video! Lovely looking Ford Torino GT. :)
Hey Jason, Glad to read you're having fun :-) Then my mission is accomplished, Lou
Lou you do an amazing job of filming slowly the literature in the "trunk and treat" portion of your videos. I appreciate that because I love to read the story of each car when provided by the owner. This documentation makes the "true car story" come to life. You're a true historian! But you forgot the hidden headlights again! Arg!
Hi Kennth White, Glad you're enjoying the details. I'll work on the headlights like in this one ( ua-cam.com/video/8zV71PwYSKY/v-deo.html ), other times I check before hand and they do not work.... :-) So I skip that piece. Honestly, I might have just missed that with this one. Glad you're along for the ride, Lou
This is great! I'm going to have to go look in my car photos archives to see if I've seen one on the streets! Seeing the honeycomb back details there was one car I saw with something like that and I haven't seen anything else like it since!
Hi Jon, Happy to read you enjoy this one :-) If you type into UA-cam search "My Car Story with Lou Torino" I think you'll see some others you like too, Lou
@@loucostabile oh, I'm subscribed to your channel for sure and enjoy the videos very much!

Just one more thing Lou the 70 Mercury Cyclone GT with its rounded fastback styling and the sculptured front end featuring concealed headlights and the gunfight grille was even more awesome.
Hi Larry Hawkins, Thank you for sharing your knowledge, Lou Here is a link to the 1970 ua-cam.com/video/CK_ajdkZQ1c/v-deo.html
Beautiful Ford ! I'm working on a 351 Cleveland 4V at my machine shop right now .
Glad you enjoy the looks of this one :-) Hope your 351 turns out the way you'd like it ALABAMAHEADHUNTER, Lou

Almost bought on like this in 1986 from the original owner for $1,500. Nice car.
20alphabet shoulda woulda coulda... don't feel bad. Same year, I passed on a 66' Shelby gt350 for $6k. Didn't like the frame twist when it launched....
The year before I passed on a 1970 Road Runner 383 excellent condition original owner for $500. Granddaughter needed college tuition, and I had too many cars.
List your judgement lapses, I'll one-up ya!
20alphabet like most shoulda woulda and coulda are just triggers for an anxiety situation that isn't healthy. Hindsight being what it is opens us all up to the adages about good decisions and seizing the opportunity and experiences.
Best Regards...
Can be. But the way I see it is this, if I had that many opportunities in the past just think of the great stuff that's still ahead!
20alphabet thats perfect! If there is one thing time has given us, it's the experience to make informed decisions...
Love this Torino! I have a 1975 Torino sedan that belonged to my great grandmother. My favorite Torino's are the 69 gts.
Hi Morbid Buffalo, Happy to read you "Love this Torino!" :-) Glad to read you have one too, Lou

Why would the outlaw the spinners? It doesn't get much better than bucket seats console, louvers, spoiler and hide-away lights. Are the louvers being reproduce? I heard that they're incredably rare.
The story (as I understand it) regarding the "spinners" is that they could fly off the car in an accident and become a weapon. I've never heard of anyone being killed by one. Not sure how difficult it is to find louvers.
Beautiful one, and I am John Roberts, just switched my channel time couple weeks ago to make my channel look "official."
Hi John, Happy to read you enjoy the looks of this car, Lou
So cool how this guy saved this car from the crusher....damn car crushers should be outlawed instead of some wheel spinners....lol....
I agree. Happy to read you enjoy this car :-)

Very good perfect Car FORD TORINO GT BOSS brass shines Up engine 572ci look good beautifully perfect car ohhhh yes come on ohhhh yeahhhh perfect
Hi Craig, High praise :-) Lou
I really prefer the rear side glass styling of these over the Mercury Cyclone or regular Torino. The edgier? (is that a word) styling of these has really grown on me over the years and much prefer these to the Chevelles of the same year. You just never see these cars especially in this color.
Hi Ron Dye Channel, Thank you for sharing what you enjoy about this car :-) Lou
Nice one Lou! 👍👌👏
Thank you Duececoupe :-) Lou
Beauty. Great muscle car

Bad ass car yes sir. We know we all love classic cars but what about classic pickup trucks Lou? The 40’s and 50’s trucks. We also love classic trucks as well thanks
Hi Raul Atayde Jr, There are GREAT pickups out there I see, however the Channel is called "My Car Story" not "My Pickup Story" or "My Truck Story" :-) However here's one for you... Let's keep this between us :-) Lou ua-cam.com/video/BaQoHvM4xNs/v-deo.html
LOU!! WHOOSH....WHOOSH>>>>and you jump up and catch my projectile floppy sneakers like a cross between our heroes Bruce Lee and Jose Cruz, man lol 🤣🤪!!! My superhero big bro righ there, man. Ha! You could put a baby to sleep with that aweosme exhaust? No doubt, and definitely a KNOCKOUT😵😵 sleep for a chick-craaazzzzzy lightweight Robin-type guy named JV Johnny. Ya better rescue me before one of The Penguin's henchmen comes along and throws me over his shoulder and carries me off, my tubesocked stocking feet dangling, Lou lol 😂😜!! On the day beofre my 53rd birthday (how did THAT happen?! lol 😂I still think I'm a kid!), this AWESOMELY hot and badass Ford Torino is a gift, man. That front end-sinister, love the tail and the orange color. Just made for a boyhood teenage superhero, you know?! I love it, man. Rich is a perfect caretaker to this car, humble and quietly confident. Thanks for the gifts of your awesome videos, big brother. It has been a joy to me and knocks me outta my floppy sneakers EVERY time🤪. Merry Christmas to you and your family, Lou! JV Johnny ⚾⚾
Hey JV Johnny, Happy to snag the projectile sneakers like a frog catching a fly :-) Glad to share this baby rattle rumble with you. Hope you're behind the wheel of one like this soon. Merry Christmas to you and your family too, Lou
