Your trip in this awesome auto is probably my favorite videos you've done. A true masterpiece. Hope you didn't let someone lowball you on this. Just the piece of mind you'd get purchasing this is worth untold dollars.
11:00 one of the lessons my father taught me was to know the car you're driving and know where the tires are. Second lesson was to always park with your tires pointed straight ahead. I miss him. This is my first comment on you and Jens channels. I found you two weeks ago and have been binge watching them. Keep doing what you're doing. We love it!
Hey Chris, hate to see the car go because this is the car that brought me to your channels. As someone who is like minded and close (WV) I really love the content. Keep up the great work. I really appreciate your effort into making videos for all of us to enjoy.
It’s a great video where y’all bought it and all that. People should def watch it. It’s come a long way and it’s not some junk box. That’s a nice classic ready to go for people who want to get into the hobby
100%, I owned one of these back in the early 80s and would love to get this one. That 351 in this car will get 22 mpg in this car IF you don’t have a heavy foot, plus it’s got power to spare when you need it. I also think the Raptor liner is a great solution to the trashed vinyl top. Sure it’s not perfect but it gets the job done and it looks nice.
Always good to see you and the GUSMAN, I thought this was going to be Jens daily driver since you have sold her Mustang and her Honda is up for sale. Hope your getting her something to drive as I would think shes not fond of walking! Keep making those videos! Good luck with your car sales!
Love this car! Reminds me a bit of Starsky & Hutch, the O.G. TV series. I relly love those cars alot. I wish I could afford it now. I would fly out and drive it home to OKC.
@@WadeKoschney-t4p this car is in very good shape ! The money he is asking with All the new parts is definitely worth every penny of $6,500 .try looking in marketplace you'll see what I'm talking about
Chris…you have chosen a lovely backdrop for staging the Elite!!😀😀😀😀😀Hope you get what you want for it. I had the same car in white with a red interior. Great car.
Damn. This was one of my favorite cars ive seen you rescue. I even showed a friend the part where you gave it to your girlfriend ( huge honor points ). :o :(
Cool video Chris, although I think you will have better chance of selling it with hood lining it will reverberate like a tin can without it. I love Gus 😍
I've seen minty ones go for around 10K. These don't seem to hold their value that well at the moment but I'm sure that will change in the future. A super cool car! I definitely won't be upset if it doesn't sell. I love driving it
@@nnkhmisc I think a definite plus is that it's a Nevada car, I'm a little further north than you and as you know rust around here knocks the price down considerably
@@nunyabuziness8421 from where i came from it be hard to get 2500! at that i would pay that price Missing the vinyl top n rust where it be hard to fix spots n whats it worth if you do the body n paint it still doesnt have a vinyl top an your in for way way more than its worth n it really aint worth fixing!
Too bad you and Jen sold the Mustang, I would've loved to see you and Tony Angelo do a wrenching/upgrade collaboration on that old girl. It would've been awesome to see it get some love and go faster parts.
Hi Chris, Yeah, I feel ya about having too many cars. In your business, rotating stock is a given. Like you said, you can't keep them all. Keep up the good work. I enjoy the channels and all the content you provide. Keep up the good work, and I will be following your adventures and purchases.
I had sent you a message when jen was driving the van in the parking lot while you were in the junk yard and came across the very same car with full interior
Chris I think that is a fair for such a clean and reliable car. But as you say you cant keep them all It will be bittersweet seeing such a cool car go. Hope it goes to a good home.! I saw the Mustang was sold I hope you sell the ambulance also1 Please keep up the great videos!
People, He can't keep them all. Putting plates on everything, insurance, storage, ect.. It costs a ridiculous amount. And to keep new content coming he's gotta get more vehicles to work on. And if your pay attention he doesn't have an emotional attachment to them.
Dear MrQ23 👍👌👏 Exactly! 2) I say that he is attached to some vehicles but he is smart enough to be able to let go things if necessary. I bet that Jen and Chris will love to drive the old green Mustang a lot. I'm nevertheless curious to see what vehicle Jen's new daily driver will be. Best regards, luck and health in particular.
@@ryandaniels8794 I believe he was talking about moving to a new property or looking into it. Idk why everyone is freaking out, if something major happened i'm sure he would have said something in a video.
Its a great start to a project car for somebody that is attracted to these big ole luxo boats. I think the price is a bit high BUT hey all you need is the right buyer as again you don't find them in this good of condition (overall its not bad) normally so again it's a great starting point. Good Luck hope you find the right buyer ..... 👍 👍Gus is such a cool pup!
This is a beautiful car, and would for sure pay the asking from a mechanic like Chris. Good luck on the sale, and I am sure the new owner will be happy.
I owned a silver/burgandy 1976 ford Elite that I bought used in 1978. It rode like a living room, but it was gutless with a 351W and got 11 mpg no matter how I drove it…
I’m from Baltimore Maryland I grew up there I live in Justin Texas now been in Texas for 21 years I moved out here when I was 18, I traveled the world as a kid, I been to Germany, Switzerland, I been all over the world traveling with my uncle he was in the service as a medic way back in the day, it’s sad what happened to the patapsco bridge in Baltimore I used to drive over that bridge all the time with my family.
Derek at vice grip garage sold off a large amount of his vehicles too. He never made for sale videos. Other youtubers have made videos buying his cars. I like how Chris does the full circle buy and sell. Farewell his pride and joy maybe not. To ever buys the torino your name is now chris or jen if your a girl. Don't believe to many torinos look like that around.
Hello Chris and Jen. I had a 1973 Gran Torino Sport with the 351 Cleveland , man I miss that car. Somebody will love getting hold of yours. It runs like brand new!
Hey Chris, I think you are reasonable on the price. I'm in Western Canada, and cars of that vintage and condition are selling for even more than you are asking.
straight up presentation of the car.... I saw all the vids with this ride, really enjoy your stuff ,,, fair price for all the work done. and it's a 70's cool driver.. !
Chris, say it ain't so, not the gran torino. My Dad had a 73 gran torino in blue when I was in college. I used to drive that thing, it was fun. Sadly, my days for those type of cars is past. I really enjoyed the cruise on a sunny day. I was just wondering if you had officially turned into a used car dealership for your state with all the vehicles. No more snail, selling the Ambu and Torino and the fox body mustang too, oh well it was fun while it lasted. Thanks for the great videos and please keep them coming. Over and out for now.
👍👌👏 Thank you very much for having cute little Gus 💚 in this video. I simply love this lil' guy. 2) I also absolutely love the look of these car models. Especially the front and the side lines (the back not so much). I already watched your epic Gran Torino road trip at least 2 times and will now do it again. Without having the storage possibilities on Jen's former property any longer, a lot of vehicles simply have to go. Also to make space for new projects. I'm pretty sure that Jen would want to keep this beautiful red Ford if you would have a big property and a big shop/barn to store stuff. Although you're right of course. You simply can't keep 'em all. 3) I wouldn't like to see the old wrecker going but with the "new" rollback you may not need the good old workhorse any longer!? Thanks a lot for making explaining recording editing uploading and sharing. Best regards luck and especially health to all 4 of you.
Hi Chris, You said, "Sometimes it works. Sometimes it doesn't." That's a good description of my wife. Could I rent Gus for a few days? I'm putting an underground sprinkler system in my yard, and he would make a great ditch digger.
Out with the old and in with the new, got to have fresh content to get the views. Besides, to many classics sitting around rusting away in a field just waiting to be revived. I hear ya' Chris...
Devil on my left shoulder: It's from the year before catalytic converters, so it'll run on regular gas. So, how 'bout it? Is it the new cruising mobile? Me: I wish! I don't have a garage (yet). Good luck on the sale!
I do t blame you a bit for that price,it is relatively a nice car,has more then good bones for a full restoration if a person wonted to go that direction…….id say just drive it and enjoy it,I’d pay it if I had the money
I avoid that Washington Crossing bridge if at all possible. It was made when cars were a lot narrower. It really gets dicey when the vehicles coming toward you come over on your side and their mirrors are extended. (Especially SUVs and pickup trucks) Smack! Or they force you to the right and you scrape your passenger mirror against the side of the bridge steel. Also if you have nice expensive wheels imagine what the two on on the passenger side look like after rubbing and scraping for 200 yards from the bridge wheel limiter’s.
The most HONEST car salesman of ALL time. He discloses everything!😎🍺
And such a good one that he almost sold it back to himself. lol
@@Drewzer154😂
Its got rust n no vinyl whats there to disclose it painfully obvious!
There was a great Twilight Zone episode when a shady used car salesman was cursed to always have to tell the truth lol
That would still be a £15-£20k car here in the UK, man you guys are so lucky.

yup, like I said but someone commented can't keep them all. soooooo
It’s a great video where y’all bought it and all that. People should def watch it. It’s come a long way and it’s not some junk box. That’s a nice classic ready to go for people who want to get into the hobby
My Dad bought a new one in 75. I got my driver's license in 74 and was allowed to drive it occasionally. Very nice driving comfortable car!
$6500 is more than fair asking price for that car.
100%, I owned one of these back in the early 80s and would love to get this one.

$6500 is a fair price. You, Jen and Gus have a lot of memories with that machine. Gus is going to miss it.
Always good to see you and the GUSMAN, I thought this was going to be Jens daily driver since you have sold her Mustang and her Honda is up for sale. Hope your getting her something to drive as I would think shes not fond of walking! Keep making those videos! Good luck with your car sales!
I bought a new one in 1975 for $6700. Loved it.
Y'all made some great vids with this one, good luck with the sale
I can't wait to see what all these sales are going to.
Damn! Never realized how nice those seats are! Grew up riding in one of those. If I wasn’t living in Alaska I’d buy it.
Love this car! Reminds me a bit of Starsky & Hutch, the O.G. TV series. I relly love those cars alot. I wish I could afford it now. I would fly out and drive it home to OKC.
I remember Hutch would call it "The flying Tomato" lol . If this was my car I'd have to put the white stripe in it and paint the roof red
But it not a gran torino an that car was stock! Fly? I wouldnt drive 20 miles to see a rusty no vinyl top car!

Nice tour around, unique area. Good luck on the sale.
You guys had a fun road trip in it !
Indeed! Priceless trip it was!
Love this car! Gonna miss it! Hope you get every dollar your asking!!!
Nice going to town rig. Nice honest description of the car.
Beautiful scenery. It looks like a part of New Jersey that nobody sees. Thanks for the cruise.
Chris…you have chosen a lovely backdrop for staging the Elite!!😀😀😀😀😀Hope you get what you want for it. I had the same car in white with a red interior. Great car.
Very fair price. Stick to you're guns!! I watched y'all come home in it!!😂😂❤❤
I had a 1972 4d Grand Torino in 1982 when i lived in Chico Ca. almost Mint Condition, loved that car I wish I could take that car off your hands.
That’s a fair price considering how mechanically sound Chris has gotten it to. Plus it is from the desert. Good buy for someone
I had one of those back in the mid 80's. Paid 500 bucks for it. No rust, had the 400 in it. It was light tan in color. I called it the boat. lol.
This ones worth 600 because its shinny red n has a 350 2 bbl!
Love the car and loved the drive & music at the end Chris, Great price for it👍🇮🇪
Damn. This was one of my favorite cars ive seen you rescue. I even showed a friend the part where you gave it to your girlfriend ( huge honor points ). :o
:(
The pup loves it too
The first car I ever had. Bought it with my Fiance 2 months before we got married in 1983.
Wow, Chris is having a whole sale on all of his stuff. I wish the best for you buddy!!
NOTE: This was the predecessor to the famous Starsky and Hutch 1976 Ford Gran Torino! Love it!
That car is worth a full restoration. Hope you get more than you ask Chris. Good luck.
Cool video Chris, although I think you will have better chance of selling it with hood lining it will reverberate like a tin can without it.
I love Gus 😍
New owner can put a headliner in if they would like. If it doesn't sell, it's no sweat for me. I like the car a lot and don't mind keeping it
And yeah he's the man!
@@nnkhmisc Ok then all good.
@@nnkhmisc Did you sell this car? and the freightliner ex- ambulance
That's an extremely reasonable price, I'd think closer to $10K would be fair. Good luck it should go quickly.

When I was high school and college in the 1980's $600 was the standard price for these old 70's beaters.
I took the Washington crossing bridge for years always to Frenchtown NJ then to Flemington NJ. Nice ride from Kensington to Frenchtown to go skating.
My buddy had one of those and I lusted after it to an embarrassing degree. Amazing how our tastes change as we age.
It's a really nice car and in great shape for its age. So at that bargain price, it should sell fast. Don't let anyone talk you down in price
I had sent you a message when jen was driving the van in the parking lot while you were in the junk yard and came across the very same car with full interior
I think the Torino is worth at least that. Maybe more. I feel a property purchase coming up soon!!😊

It does have tilt steering wheel! Press the signal lever away from you and you can adjust the steering wheel!!
I was wondering fi that was Lambertville. Bucks County Playhouse locked it down. Nice area. Nice car as well.
Egad, those bumpers! Thanks, Ralph.
They were a nice car at the time. I had a 1976 Elite.
Think the Elites were only 74 & 75. As 76 saw the new smaller Thunderbird introduced for which Elites were the prototypes.
Loved the Driving Tour, and those wheels. Thanks!
Love the Torino. I have a similar problem with keeping too many cars around -- how do you deal with keeping insurance costs affordable for your fleet?

good move..clean up and move on..btw 6500 is a steal for a cool car gone over by you..
big block Malibu stays,I hope,,,great video as usual..
Looks great Chris.

He was about to tare that pizza up! 😆 🤣
Great rotating stock love it
$6500 is more than fair imo, I would ask $7000 and take offers. This car is amazing even with the little bit of rust it has. Sorry to see you sell it.
Ohhh that bridge crossing was bit hairy🙀🙀🙀🙀🙀🇬🇧🇬🇧
Thanks!
Really digging the custom NNKH oil change sticker on the windshield. Nice touch.
Great vid, love the Ford!!
This is how those 70's cars should be priced
Nice car, in love with the sound. Clint Eastwood might be interested :p Add the amount of hours you two put in labour, I guess it's a steal.
