    1972 Ford Gran Torino Sport In Action


    It's got Barry Newman driving a Torino.  Similar action to what he did in Vanishing Point.

    All through the movie he's probably thinking, "Man, I wish I had my Challenger right now!"  :roflsmiley:  That Torino is wallowing in the corners!

    Cool video!  Thanks!

    Is it me or does that town in the beginning look like the town in Dirty Mary, Crazy Larry?  :clueless:

    Thanks! Wow, I first learned to drive a straight shift in a three-on-the-tree 302 72 Gran Torino Sport. Same colors as that one - but I kept it straight :burnout:

    Good memories winding it out on I65 north of Montgomery...
