In the 90s my wife wanted to race at a local dirt track so we found a 72 torino gt that was in terrible shape no drivetrain rusted really bad. So we built the car with a 460 automatic and the first season she placed 5th in her division for the season I was so proud of her.. sadly she passed away 4 years ago now All that's left are the memories
That's an awesome story, sorry to hear of your wifes passing. Cherish those memories !
@@GODZILLATORINORACING thank you brother
@@michaelvarble4392 I would love to see some video of that in the dirt , best looking dirt tracker ever!
@@GODZILLATORINORACING I have some pictures I'll look for them and get back to you
Nice story , sorry for your loss .
Slicks and a massive cam on that Torino. Nice.
Beautiful torino
Brings back so many memories. I bought a 72 Gran Torino Sport when I was 16 years old. My motor head friends and myself would go to Meander Dragway in Niles Ohio on Friday nights and race. Stop by Sunoco and fill er up with 360 and go run. Also hung out with all the area folks who had muscle cars including one Superbird, a few vettes, another 72 1/2 Gran Torino, 67 Camaro, many more. I still kick myself for selling my 72 GTS! They really went up in value after the movie "Gran Torino" came out and the appearance of a Gran Torino Sport in Fast and Furious series.
That's awesome cool , this car has survived marriage and kids and several career changes. One thing I will not let go of . They have to pry from my cold dead hands !!
There's a 72 with 351 Cleveland cobra jet for sale nearby. I'm not enough of a gearhead to pull the trigger though.
I love that year Torino.. I had a 68 Torino GT.. beautiful car styling fastback.. can't wait to see how this one runs when he gets bored and puts the Whipple on it.. :)
sounds beautiful i had a 69 Torino GT 428 from 2000 - 2009 wish i'd kept the car & sold the wife!
Love the Torino I'm a Ford guy awesome car!
Thanks for checking out the channel!
Clint Eastwood would be proud to see his Gran Torino kicking ass!
Walt might object to some of our shenanigans
Amazing work!
I was waitin' for our hero to run that motorcycle dude off the road Mad Max style!
Way to go, Rich, congrats on your victory! -Ray
Thank you friend! It was a cake walk . I think the GODZILLA TORINO has acquired a taste for Coyote , but he is getting bored and needs a new challenge . GODZILLA vs a Hellcat !!
I had a GTSS & blew the Cleveland on the LIE. Replaced with a Windsor. Windsor kicked ass more! Miss that car! 😢
72’s are my most favorite! Love your car and way to kick butt and represent.
Been doing some stuff soon , hopefully will have some new context for you !
@@GODZILLATORINORACING where do you race? I am hoping to have one ready for the track next year. Be cool to run a couple of 72’s down the track. I am in Ky. Gonna haul it with my 72 Gran Torino wagon. You should check out my wagon on my channel. I will look for the new content. I love your car.
@@sumthinsumthingarage7913 Havent seen a wagon like that in decades, cool tow rig!!
Its so easy to setup an old muscle car to outrun modern muscle but the hit is you get 5-10 mpg compared to 16-28.
😂😂He is running 12….plenty of bone stock of the factory floor muscle that will dog walk that in a 1/4😂😂
Frank Zappa likes Fords.
He'll ya that thing is nasty, got you brother 💪🇺🇲🔧💯🚗🔥👍🚦 take your time, and get things dialed in super cool 😎 car
I do appreciate the support I think with some tweaking of the motor and a little luck we might be able to grab a 10-second time slip shortly!
Great project car with great potential to be faster! Awesome 👍
Yes it's an unending project. I'd like to put it on a bottle see how she goes LOL
I was expecting it to be a lot faster than 12 seconds ☹️
As did I! We had some issues on the top end as I mentioned I put out a video of the postmortem problem solved! We raced it last Sunday and it was a lot faster than 12 but I still need to put a decent tune on it
How can you compare a race car to a stock mustang,total fail
By about 2500lbs! That’s how.
Subscriber 451 for ya !! That is a nice Torino!
Thank you Lee 451! Can't wait to start using the new Phone !!
Does it have a Cleveland in it?
First off, my blood runs blue, I’ve been Ford my whole life. To see your car run low 12’s with all that show and sound, something is not quite right. When I was in high school back in the early nineties, I had a 73 Mercury Cougar with a basically stock 4 barrel 351 Cleveland (it was carbed very well, tuned by a wizard, and had a wicked ignition), and that little darling would run a pretty consistent 12.5 / 12.6, so I would love to know what’s choking your top end. I bet your carbs front bowl is starving for fuel. Thanks.
Yes check out my follow up video ua-cam.com/video/U1UckTC7WyU/v-deo.html definitely fuel starvation.
The Best Ford Torino, from Argentina
Wow , I'm assuming that is a compliment . Thanks for viewing ,Do you have a Torino there? I bet it would be very popular !
Aluminum slots. 👌
She's a beast
Nice G.T.!!
Beautiful car and the bumpside ford towing it really tops it off
Miss the F350 . It was a great Truck!
Run a Stock 72 Torino against the stock 18 Mustang! Compare apples to apples!
Not apples to apples, a stock '18 Mustang vs Stock 72 Gran Torino would not be a good comparison . The Mustang GT has almost 5 decades of technology. The fact that a modified Jalopy is performing at the a similar level on any matrix is very cool. I think the point is lost on some folks. Modern cars are amazing no questions about that but there is something to be said about building something in your garage with a low budget that can compete and beat it's contemporary rival on the track ..
I was expecting 10's honestly
Looks like the one in the movie Gran Torino by Clint Eastwood. ☝️
It is very similar to the one in Gran Torino , That one is a mint survivor , Godzilla is a modified, rough beast!
Happy to see it on the track taking down the new muscle. Were you able to diagnose the top end yet?
Yes!! Simple Stupid $11 part lol. I'm going to post a video of that post mortem in a day or so
Have you ever been to Savannah River Drag way ? there is a couple of big races coming up I love the Gran Torino I’m currently building a 74 Gran Torino for my dad as a gift not for the drag strip but for the road
Very nice car. I would like to do a similar swap. Any tips or tricks to get it I there. Plus will a C4 bolt up to it?
Ok ,the 460 bolts right in with factory parts . A C4 sourced from a 351/400 M vehicle will work . The C4 will need to be beefed up to live behind a healthy 460!
@@GODZILLATORINORACING thank you
Definitely sounds like a fuel delivery problem. Decent 60 ft then it lays down at half track. Bummer.
I miss those steering wheels.
Yes that's why I kept it also because with the manual steering box the larger steering wheel makes it much easier to steer
Sac raceway 🤘
I thought that place looked fermillure I hope to get my foxbody out there one day 🚗🔥👍👊🔴🇺🇲💯
72 torino my car
Great Cars !
@@GODZILLATORINORACING yep
That thing needs more jet its laying over bad
That may be true ,the fuel filter was the major problem fixed and we're moving on . I think it could use some more also . We ran last Sunday and the top end is soft but it still made power .
@@GODZILLATORINORACING after run pit it in neutral and shot it off and coast off track to return rd and pull a plug and see what it looks like I bet it needs more jet
F.O.R.D Fastest On Race Day!
Not sure I would be doing backflips with a race car sporting a BBF and a huge weight advantage versus obviously a pretty much box stock 2018 5 owe. Shoulda, coulda, woulda, didn't.
No one Iis doing backflips ,is that some sort of dig or insult . Why bother commenting if you are that underwhelmed ? I have never claimed that my car is all that , I enjoy it and others also . So take your negative Bullshit somewhere else . If you want to talk smak to my face anytime ! I'm ready ! People like you make me sick..
@GODZILLA TORINO RACING actually I love your car. I hope you get it sorted out and runs some 11s. No offense intended. My apologies.i don't like the new stuff. No soul.
@@burningblue1254 I guess you're comment sounded like you were saying the opposite . So now I confused 🤔. If we were have a discussion about cars , and mine in particular I could get the point . BTW my car isn't a race car it's a stripped down muscle car with some minor engine modifications and suspension mods and specialized tires for drag racing . Nothing exotic or too costly. Stock the car is capable of 16 second 1/4 mile times . It's now an 11 second car. But it's not very street able. Mainly because no $$ we're spent to ensure reliability nor comfort and handling outside the simple task of going straight and sounding and looking badass . So it's basically a bucket in the traditional sense . As in T bucket we're stripped down cars that just went fast and looked cool because the kids couldn't afford to do much else .
@GODZILLA TORINO RACING its just my poor writing style! I think the Torino was a great body style and never got the respect it deserved. The yellow scj was always a favorite of mine.
Cubic ignorance.
