I'd say the odds are 100% if it gets neglected.

Would definitely like to see more on this one, a really good candidate for a restoration.

Hey guys, my grandmother was real appreciative that y’all came out. Hope you guys had fun doing it.

Fantastic “will it run” video. Thank you for this great content with magnificent cars. This Gran Torino definitely needs to be brought back indoor ASAP.

More of this series and now! Please

Hagerty has become the best source of automotive content on KZread

My very first car was a 71 Gran Torino, 351 Cleveland,, 4 Barrel, 4-speed, dual exhaust. Triple green just like this one. Bring back great memories

I've been in love with the 72 Torino since I was 8 years old. I've been looking for just the right one for a few years now. As soon as I get my hands on it, it's never leaving.

Love this series! You two work really well together, trouble shooting by bouncing ideas off of each other, well done.

I agree!

Makes me feel cold just watching this

Fantastic fun video and great personal backstory. My godfather's son (who I saw infrequently) had a '71 Torino with a 351C and a Hurst 4-speed. I was 13, he was probably 26. He gave me a ride in it, tires smoking and sideways as he made a left hand turn/merge onto a 55 mile an hour road. Made me a car fan for life! By the way, I could feel the cold watching y'all work.

It's spring 80° and yall are making me feel cold!!

I had one like that....Gran Torino Sport, 302 2V Automatic. This brought back memories. Thanks guys!

You guys must please do a series about restoring her. I'm sure her owner who's upstairs would be smiling the whole time.

Thanks for sharing, My cousin had one of these with the 351 Cleveland motor, we used to ride around town on Friday and Saturday nights we actually was pulled over by the police for drag racing with this car, my uncle was pissed to say the least! my cousin was grounded from driving the car after court and $500 in fines for about 6 months, we wasn't laughing then although makes for a good laugh now at family get togethers!

What a cool memory for you being a 16 year old in that car!

Just watched the movie Gran Torino not long ago, then this video pops up!

Awesome movie 🎥

The expertise + the humor + the comradery with Jeff & Davin is PERFECTION! 🥶

I do love the concept of "Will it run"... one of my favorite series' Davin has been in... I may be biased. Also, .the chemistry between Davin and Jeff is pretty cool... the back and forth that happens naturally.

Good one, again, chaps!

That looks exactly like my first car! Right down to the color and vinyl top. Of course I could only dream of a 429. Mine featured a worn out 351W.

It was a miserable day. Fun video. Thanks Davin and Jeff.

Boy, just watching you two is making me feel cold !

It would of been easier to fill the vent tubes then to take the top of the carb sometimes with the bowl filled through the tubes will loosen the float up and get the needle valve working again too I have had that happen a bunch of times just by filling the vents

I sold mine in 2015 after I got sick and couldn't do anything with it, anymore. Same color, same(ish) shape. I owned it for 25 years and I miss it, sometimes but, I know it went to a good home.

Looks like the green Torino in the movie grande Torino with Clint Eastwood?

Davin and Jeff are turning out great episodes on Hagerty’s Will it run. Wish the episodes would continue.

Very cool car, '72s are unique!

One of the best looking cars Ford ever built

I had a 1973 LTD 2 DOOR, with a FACTORY 429. I got it for $400 because the person selling it didn't adjust the points properly. My cousin set the points for me, and I laid a single strip about 1/2 block before it finally caught. Loved that car.

In 1972 my neighborhood friend's mom drove us to kindergarten in a green '72 Gran Torino with white interior. 302 - 2 barrel.

Thank you for reminding me why I left Michigan in 2006. 🙂

The rare find of a '72 Gran Torino with a 429 Cobra Jet! Hope you make a part II and maybe a part III so we can see what if anything you fellas do if you get her running.

Its not a CJ, they used small plugs and had aluminum valve covers and a Rochester carb

I hope this isn't the end. I want to see more of this particular classic!

Even more special when it’s someone you know and love.

Great job guys!!

Such memories...winter in Michigan, Wyoming and montana. sitting up under my town wagon after I shoveled the snow .

My dad had one of these. It was white 1976. He drug it around from place to place as we moved growing up and eventually gave it away to a buddy just to see someone drive it. I was 11 or 12. I’d love to have it now.

I had a 1968 Thunderbird with 429 thunderjet owner's manual stated 100 octane minimum great engine lots of torque!

I’m trying to find one of these for my father-in-law. He owned one back in the late 70’s and I know it’s on his bucket list to own another one. 🙏🏻🙏🏻

Dad bought a dark blue Torino new in 72'. Drove it for my high school prom in 76'. Michigan winters finally destroyed it. 🙁

We need an update of this car. Someone needs to get his jewel back on the road!

Just happy it'll get some help She's a keeper fellas

Plugs look like 18 mm plugs. Not a CJ/SCJ. CJ heads had big valves which required 14 mm plugs. If it is a 429 powered car it is still a rare find.

Enjoyed this..! Well done guys. Went as I expected.

Nice start men. Enjoyed your video! Thanks for sharing! 💯

I had a new 1973 Grand Toronto Sport white with blue vinyl roof 351 Cleveland cost $4400 from Ed Martin Ford on Shadeland Av in Indianapolis by dad worked for Ford so my have got employee cost so long ago I don't remember I was 16 and it was a great car had it till 1979 when I got a new 1979 LTD2 same basic interior as the 1973 lol

I had a 73 Gran Torino 4 door. 1st car. 302. Like the 72s much more. Love this vid. Thanks to all of you......

I can feel the chill in the air and smell the gas on the wind. Been under many a hood during winter doing basically the same thing.

I have a cyclone spoiler with a 429gj that is not a cj, if it was it would have a quadrajet carb

Will it Run? Of course it will, cause you guy's always make em run. Gas, Combustion and Spark... and a little Snow too. I heard the wind kicking up and I thought wow I don't miss this weather at all. My Fingers felt cold just watching. GREAT JOB and Video Guy's.

KUDOS to you for that one!!! I’m too cold blooded, I would’ve waited until spring or pushed it inside somewhere. Always happy to see something come back to life!!!

I was just able to get my 39 buick special on the road. I was pleasently surprised when i got my insurance it is with Hagerty. Pretty cool. Love the videos

We're in the south. South Carolina in fact. All our videos are fairly local to both SC and NC

Tim would be so happy, nice job guys!

Davin IS Hagerty. Rock on!

We all have that one car that ignited our love for all things with tires and gasoline, some of us have archived it when we moved on to our own rides. Thanks for bringing it back to recollection, and the inevitable smile we can't wipe off our face.

Excellent job guys. It was nice watching you guys get it running again. Although it still needs a lot of work to be road worthy, your job here was to see if it still runs. Am I correct?

Those cars are such an outragious design. Glorious. Glad to see one back on the road. The station wagons of that year are the most outragious cars I have ever seen.

Great stuff guys. Thanks for sharing! It would be satisfying to see the Will it Run episodes end with a short drive, even if it means a longer episode.

Owned a 72 Gran Torino in high school late 70s. I loved that car original 351. Had to replace the water pump. Went to chevys after that experience.

My favorite year of the only year of this body style. Gorgeous !

Had a friend of mine that bought one of these new. I was never a Ford man, but they had great lines and easy to work on.

Great episode!

Fantastic video and keep up the will it run video's

The 72 Torino was a one year body style. It is one of the coolest most overlooked muscle cars.

Another great video - - - love to watch yal’s adventures

Beautiful car! I had a regular 1972 Torino back in the day.

Geez, Davin and Jeff, I hope y'all got misery pay for having to work on that frozen lump! I always hated working on engines in the cold...It makes a good knuckle rap even worse! Thanks, guys, for breathing new life into an old dog! ✌️❤️🇨🇦🙂

Love wrenching in that weather

My favorite Ford. I owned a ‘72 sport when I was 17. The sport model had high back bucket seats.

Beautiful car boys.

My grandmother took me to high school many times in one that looked like this . After this she got a Gran Torino Elite I felt like we were in luxury. All that room and leather.

Damn, Jeff's eyes really lit up when it fired off. Great to see.

Man that needs a loving home, favourite episode so far, least favourite temperature 😅 that made me freeze my ass off just watching. Love the editing too, no dramatic music or cuts, great job guys 🤘

Can't wait for part 2.

I rebuilt that exact carb last summer on a 1970 Gran Torino with the 351 Cleveland! I could do it again, I love rebuilding old carbs.

Damn I'd love to have that car. I'm a 1972 model myself, Fords are my thing and that green just seals the deal.

Nice work ! Could you bring back the engine rebuild series with the cars you brought back to life? That would be awesome truly !

These guys too damn cool for their own shoes

Vent tubes fill the bowls from them without taking it apart.

When pouring fuel from a bottle directly into the carb, you gotta say - That's waaay too much. Perfect!

Great job fellas. Be nice to get that car in the workshop. I like the quality of your work.

I had a red 72 sport fastback with 351C 2bbl. I also was given a 72 4dr with the same 351C in green that sat for quite a few years as well. Got it running and drove it to college. I had one of those foam air cleaners that I soon ditched after it the foam melted and almost caused a fire

Out of all the cars out there, that’s the one I want. Friend has a 72 GT Torino with a 4V Cleveland 56000 actual miles rotting in his back yard

My parents had one of those. Sadly, they traded in a 65 Mustang convertible for it. Wish I had that Mustang!

Use an gas oil mixture down carb for first start to help lube cylinders
