Hi, If you like this video, please click on SUPER THANKS ❤ with the $ in the middle which is the SUPER THANKS button under the video. Thank you! Lou

Wow, another great Survivor and the plate says it all. Happiness is a big block! Thanks Lou for finding and sharing Brittany and her Torino GT with us!

What an awesome Ford Torino GT Fastback! Equipped with a 390 CI V8 with automatic transmission. The engine sounds healthy, and the overall condition of this 1968 survivor is excellent, with the exception of some minor paint scars. It is fun to see a car girl like Brittany, who has knowledge of the vehicle she owns and drives. The interior is in pristine condition. It has super low mileage for a car this old. Leave it to you Lou, for another unique classic Ford Torino.

The original dealer nameplate in pot/cast metal is nostalgic and super cool!!! AWESOME CAR and a COOL LADY 😎!!

Oh, my, Lou! This one hits home. My Dad had a 1968 Ford Torino Gt fastback that he special ordered in 1967 that was built just before the UAW went on strike around December 1967. His was gulf stream aqua with a black stripe and 302 cid engine with an automatic. Even that smaller engine had a rumble that me and my sister could tell "Dad's home" because of the sound of the engine. It was stock but that sound.... Her car is also built before January 1968 as it does not have head restraints so it is also an early build like my Dad's. Her's has the shoulder belts in the ceiling - I don't recall that my Dad's had that so hers likely was built after my Dad's. I would have remembered them because my Dad would have complained about them hitting him in the head! I personally think that the Torino was one of the most beautiful larger fastback cars of the era - especially compared to the awkward first generation Charger that really looked tacked onto a sedan platform. Thanks for sharing this with us, Lou! As always, your channel is MUST SEE!

She's my kinda car person, "all original" low miles, well kept! Nice car Brittany! Great find!

Brittany is so happy and confident I love her style and her Torino, I just can’t believe she found her car with so few miles on it ! She must have some connections we’re not aware of … always remember a friend/neighbor had 2 of these when I was a youngster and although I never rode in them I was aware that they had the 428’s which were quite uncommon . Love the Torino 👍🏼👍🏼

¡Felicitaciones a Britanny, por tener este espectacular, y todo genuino, Ford Torino GT Fastback 1968! Me encanta el aspecto que tiene este vehículo en negro con esas pequeñas franjas rojas recorriendo la carrocería, junto con esa silueta trasera de aspecto bajo e inclinado que, incluso, te recordará a la de los Mustang. Un interior muy llamativo en rojo, que llega hasta el panel de instrumentos, con esos vistosos diales redondos y el acertado tabique central en madera simulada del volante. Muy interesante estuvo la colección de manuales, junto al título de propiedad original. Hasta se podía ver que el vehículo costó unos $3517.58 dólares de su época (mención especial, para el vistoso manual-cartel plegable que decía: "¡Necesitamos Gasolina!"). Y, al final, el agradable paseo por esas carreteras junto al sonido ambiente y el suave rugido de ese V8 de 390 pulgadas cúbicas... ¡Saludos cordiales, Lou!

A keeper. I love this particular year. That shape. That big rear end, the style. Work of art.

Gorgeous Ford Torino GT ! The fastback, the body style, 390 ci, this is easily one of my favorite Fords of all time. Thanks so much, a real treat enjoying this feature folks.

just great to see younger generations appreciating the classic muscle cars.Thank you Lou and Brittany.

Really sweet post Lou! What a sweet girl too! Good on her dad for teaching her to value the art that is our automotive legacy! Great car! That puppy was on the bubble to get hot-rodded for 55 years and it survived it all! What a Survivor for sure!!

Love the Survivors & the owners that appreciate them, they're only factory once. Nice to see a young lady enjoying the hobby, thank you Lou.

I'm a Chevy/Buick guy but I've always liked the Fairlane/Torino fastback even in 68 when I was only 7🤣 Her dad definitely did the right thing with his little girl, the lady she became is cool AF 😎 Thanks for one of the best surviver cars I've ever seen 👍👍 and as always, please keep them coming 👍👍💚

Very nice Torino! Stunning survivor. It nice to see the owner enjoy it so much as well. That is one of the fun parts of the channel, we get to see the owner and hear their views and history. Thanks Lou and Brittany!

As a 16-year-old in Vancouver, WA, our neighbor had this exact car, down to the red accents on the sides. I drooled all over it--even though I was a "Chevy guy" driving a '63 Biscayne, lol. I can still hear that throaty growl!

So when I was in Jr Hi and Hi School there was a group kids from my neighborhood. who were on a weekend TV dance show in Houston Tx. Every Saturday for years we car-pooled across town to the ABC station that put on the show. One of the moms had 1968 Torino GT with a 427/Auto In green on green, totally loaded. What a hotrod! Absolutely best sounding engine of all time. All the parents had a great mix of mid 1960-1970 pinnicale years of GM and Ford gear with one Charger thrown in. There was a 1rst year Toronado and a beautiful 66 Riviera GS, a 66 Grand prix a really cool GTO and a few sweet caddys, a couple of Electras 225s, and a couple of suicide Lincolns along the way. As the kids got older there were several camaros and mustangs. Houston was just car crazy and I keep seeing this great iron on your channel Lou, it really brings back memories.

I think it was autumn 1969, I was almost 6 and in kindergarten, when my older brother, already an adult, bought his first brand new car. It was a yellow 69 Fairlane 500 fastback, a step below the Torino. It had the 302 small block, but it was still enough to get you in trouble. It was one of my favorite cars in our family. My parents drove it plenty of times, and my older sister sideswiped a telephone pole with it when by brother tried to teach her to drive. I'm digging this survivor 68, and I like survivors the best. I like restored cars too, but it's only original once.

Another beautiful car of the Sixties,thanks a Lot ,like she said has Personality !!!

A cousin of mine bought one of these new back in the day. He drove like a maniac laughing more the faster he went. It was red and beautiful. I miss those days. My brother bought a new 428 Cobrajet Fairlane around that time. They really loved those cars! You have a treasure there.

Y'all can bet this Torino GT stood out on the car lot in '68. I'm guessing it was on one of those ramp platforms sitting in the corner of the lot facing a four way intersection. I say this because I can remember seeing one once. It was a lighter blue GT Cobra Jet 428. Beautiful car, stood out so well it would stop traffic making sort of a traffic jam. I was only 7yrs old and the impression that car made on me lasted a lifetime. I was crushed the day we were headed to Piggly Wiggly and it was not there. For three days it would cross my mind, each time opening the memory of the day we actually stopped and checked out the new Fords. Dad was looking at wagons and four doors, me I was checking out that Torino. Now it was MIA, never to be seen I was sure. Then on a Saturday afternoon,we went to my uncles house and there in his driveway, next to my aunts '66 Charger sat that very Torino. Blue, black interior,428 with a 4 speed the car that put oil in my veins and made my heartbeat sound like a big block idle. I'll never forget that car and the times I was fortunate to ride in it. Thanks Uncle Richard... you're the cause of this gearhead who cannot shake this fever known as Hotrod...and I thank you for it...

How can one not be happy with that great car it's nice to see a survivor in that great shape

What a cool car !! That 390 is awesome Thank you Brittany for showing your car

On a scale of one to ten, that Torino gets a 20! Ford sure knew how to design a fastback. Smokin hot!

Never really been a Ford guy, but Brittany, that is one beautiful Car...The originality, the BB, and the Black/Red is stunning. Thanks Lou.

Thank you, thank you, thank you for those memories this episode brought. When I got out of the service I brought home a '69 Torino Gt, 428CJ, 4-speed, deep red with black interior, console delete. A few days later I met my future wife in her '68 that was identical to mine except for the year. Week later she called crying, had just rolled hers down a gully coming out of a corner. Said the steering locked up, which I didn't accept until discovered the steering box was froze. Past boyfriend had played with the worm gear and the box did what they do if you do that. Found her a '69 GT with a blown engine. Swapped everything out of hers into it, including the seats-she didn't like head rests. Year later after we were married I came home to be told mine was upside down in the ditch near her parents house. No story, just said when she left she showed off for her little brother and it got away from her. I replaced it with a 71 Charger Rt, 385hp 6-pack, that she never touched the key of. Together 4 years, married 3, and the month we divorced she put her GT on it's roof. 4 years she put 3 fine GTs on their roofs, well 1 wasn't her fault.

🙋‍♂️THANKS LOU AND BRITANY….🤗 FOR SHARING THIS HAPPY PERSON WITH A COOL 😎 CAR …WE LOVE ❤️ FASTBACKS… two of my friends bought one new in 1968 when they graduated and I owned one in 75 like Britney’s black with the red interior 😎💚💚💚

Great survivor car! I had a 1968 Torino GT Fastback with 390 automatic back in 1972. Bought it used for $700. Didn't keep it long but it was a blast to drive with that 390 and would absolutely smoke the right rear tire (no limited slip). The guy I bought it from decided he wanted it back so I sold it back to him for the same price I paid. Had a 1967 Fairlane GTA w/390 before that and a 65 Mustang 2+2 before that. My only Ford experiences over the years.

Wow! Thanks for highlighting this beauty. 👍

Beautiful Survivor Torino ! Thanks for posting Lou !

My first car was a 390 '68 Torino GT.l, black with a gold stripe. It also was an automatic but on the console. I absolutely loved that car! Used to drag race it once in a while on a Friday night on State St in Schenectady NY ( the same town "Cha Cha" Shirley Muldowney was from) My husband bought a '68 gold w/ a black stripe 390 Torino for himself, but his was a standard, of course! 🙂

Great looking Torino 👍

Wow !!! What a sweet ride !!!!!

What a wonderful video. That girl is soo sweet and she loves her torino. Very very nice.

I love the car and Brittany is beautiful... You're a lucky man Lou ... Ride on brother 👍

Hi, Lou! And hello to you, too, Brittany! It's so exciting and so rare to meet a nice, happy girl like you with a delightful personality and a genuine passion for classic automobiles! Your father taught you well, indeed, I'll second that recommendation of raising car girls! This car has such a sleek profile with the fastback roof and the red C stripes. You sure look marvelous driving it, and I love that you love cars that aren't the usual exhibits like Mustangs! (In fact, that's why I love station wagons. I have a 1967 Pontiac Bonneville wagon.) You're so fortunate to have found an amazing well-preserved low-mileage survivor like this, and it definitely suits you to a T (as in Torino)! Lou, you've really outdone yourself here! I think this ranks as one of your best episodes yet! Brittany is a real sweetheart!❤Many thanks to both of you for taking us on a virtual fun Grand Touring ride!

I love it! When I was a teenager I got my hands on one with the 428. 6x6 blocks between the axle and frame allowed N-50 rear tires. That car handled like it was on rails. My friend has one with a 351W and 4spd (and normal tires), he's a body man and it's nice. Offered it to me for $3500 20 years ago, I should've jumped on it.

My dad bought my mom a 1968 Falcon Futura Sports Coupe in 1968 and it had an interior in this same color. I remember all those “extras” along with the owners manual in the glove compartment. I built a 1968 Torino GT model around that time as well. Same wheels as this one.

Makes me miss the favorite Ford I owned, a red on red 68 Fairlane 500 sportsroof.

Trivia: Ford was giving away those NEED GAS blue fold ups at the 64-65 New York Worlds Fair. My brother and I both got some when we were kids when we visited the Ford Pavillion. Looks like they updated them each year after with later model cars.

Beautiful survivor 😍😍😍😍😍 Thanks Lou!

Another terrific "Survivor"story. Brittany makes a good point...... drive something that "sets you apart" from the common crowd. That's what's cool about old / vintage cars. Love seeing the one's that are unique or obscure out there!! Makes me want to watch Gran Torino with Clint Eastwood........again.

One of my Favorite Torinos. My moms friend had a ‘68 Torino and we went to Boston in this car I was 10 years old so it was 1972. I fell in love with the car. I thought the styling and dash board just was so cool

My very first car after at least a decade of dreaming about it (at 4 or 5). Thank you, Lou !

MR. GM here. But always liked this yr Torino and love red on bk. Very nice 😊😂❤ EYE CANDY 🍬

Great work, Lou. I always dug these and this car is an insane example....wow. Congrats to the owner.

What a sweet Torino.

Always loved these cars! They're good looking and rather racy with the fastback. I looked at a '69 like it when I was a kid, but it was the inverse of this car - red with black stripes and a black interior. It had a 302 and that darned column shifter with bucket seats too... If it's on the column, just give me the bench seat.

І Брітні класна(особливо на фото) і авто чудове (орігинал)! Звук вихлопа вражає! Дякую!

Nice car,Nice owner,great job Lou

Great looking car

awesome car

Dead ringer for an uncles car I remember as a kid, except his was a 428 Cobra Jet and 4 speed. I would love to find one like that. The 390 was no slouch!

That is a great surviver, she is a lucky person to have a great car like the Torino, nice show Lou.👍👍.

That's an awesome car sounds great very cool !

Love the Fords, especially a big block. Good job Lou and Brittany too.

WOWWWW!!!!!

I had a 390 in my 68 Galaxy 500 2dr. That ole Ford would fly. It was baby blue with blue interior. You just have to watch out as the back 2 valves tend to burn around 120K miles

Is this the first My Car Story where the walk-around was done in the middle of the road with the car parked right on the centerline?? Imagine approaching from a distance and suddenly seeing a vintage car with the hood up and Lou and Brittany chatting away. LOL! Great car, great owner and, of course, great host. Thanks!

Absolutely beautiful I owned a Starskey and hutch Green fast back but this is awsome 😅

Nice 😀

Cool car. Thank you! The real monster came in 1969 as the Ford Torino Talladega. It came with the 428 standard. It was enough to woo Richard Petty away from Mopar and to Ford. I have a die-cast model of the Talladega Richard Petty drove and he autographed the windshield and the box it came in. As a side note. Ford offered complete crate engines of the 427 used in the Cobras. Some made their way into Mustangs which had the 390 or 428 FE engines and the Torino fastbacks. The Cobra 427 would last for years afterward but without the rear of the cranks drilled for a pilot.

Thats a Beauty

One fine sports roof Torino there.engine needs a little fine tuning check your points/plugs carb and heat riser change out fuel filter too.

A papermatch was all it took to set the points, a beautiful Ride

I had a 68 GT 390 convertible.I wish I had it back

Lou, I remember going to the Ford dealer in New Jersey ( Mayfair Ford no longer there ) with my Parents in 1969 and my Father had plans to order a new 69 Torino GT just like this but the salesman told him it was too late in the year for new orders. He went with the 70 Torino GT. different body style but still beautiful.

That’s a nice Torino

Really nice car. Reminds me of the Fairlane I had when living in Argentina. They made basically the same model until '81. Mine was a' 79 (body like a '69) had a 292, 2 barrel, 3 on the tree, leather seats, dash writing in Spanish. Would have loved to bring it back to USA.

Two Jewel's❤❤😊

Nice. I’ve been married 42 years, so I guess I’m a survivor too!!

I remember when these were introduced. Ford had a strike that summer and when my dad took me to the dealer at introduction time I was really excited to see one. But due to the strike they were in short supply and the dealer didn’t have one. I was so disappointed!

I love the 68/69 Fairlane/Torino and this is a beautiful example. Wouldn't change a thing on this car and having an FE engine under the hood is always good.

Great ford

Brittany, you've got to pump that gas pedal about three times before you hit the key to start that. That 390 likes a big drink of gas to start easy. That's an awesome car.

nice

Been a Mopar fan since I was a kid in the 1960's but these fast-back intermediate Fords and Mercurys of this era are amazing! Unfortunately, road salt got to a lot of them.

Lou, everything is soooo right about this car! And that red interior and black paint - oooof... The 390 doesn't get a lot of recognition these days, but man...they were torque monsters. Seems I recall a certain all-time great chase scene with Steve McQueen driving a 390 'Stang. 'Nuff said.

I live in Chicagoland Area...if she ever decides to sell this who knows? I want two muscle cars - Torino and Fury III . Those are my wish list cars for the future!

Nice Torino I

nice torino.

i know for sure the car is original when she says the clock works "sometimes"😂 really nice car tho

Oh yes...Unrestored, unmolested, original is the best. The automatic is the way to go. My cousin had a 68 Torino with the 4-speed. It was exhausting to drive around town. You definitely had clutch-leg by the end of the day.

Goodday Lou, Love Brittany attitude and total agree with her 110 %. Too many Mustangs everywhere. At shows & the road. These Torino's Fastback don't have a bad angle no matter which way you look at it. They look fast just standing still. Imagine back in 1968 these Torino's were just ahead of anything from Mopar or GM. Still haven't seen one in Australia yet. Beautiful Muscle Car with a beautiful owner. Cheers Louis Kats your number 1 Fan in Australia, Melbourne. 🇺🇸 🇦🇺 🙂 👍

Beautiful car Sweetheart. ❤

👍💯😎💯👍

Stroke it to 445 inches and add a Blue Thunder two plane intake...... maybe some Survival Motors heads painted Ford blue. Perfect sleeper.

that didnt come from oregon did it? my buddy bought a twin to that in 81 and shortly after he scored a 69 gt coupe 428 cj 4 speed for 800 bucks but the black one here is identical stripes interior color gt wheels ect

Why was the 390 so under rated I have a 69 XL the bank said the 429 was worth the most of course mine has a 351 cleavland which is worth more than the 390 doesn't make sense 390 was gr8

Dad had the 69 428CJ 4spd. In hindsight he should never have sold it.

Lou, you've posted a video almost everyday for the past week! You going for a record?

❤❤❤ idk witch look better the car or owner ❤️❤️❤️🥵🥵

Is she single? It’s so hard to find a woman raised right on the right Fastbacks these days. Lol. That’s a great survivor car, congratulations!

Sounds like the car is geared low 12:00 , is ready to go

those were slick looking car, only the mercury version can top it (in my estimation). compare that to todays american midsizes and cry silently

cute photo but what year is that SHO

DeKalb or Elgin???

Lou, I think she has the hots for you.😄

Its a fastback Fairlane.

YeGODS man!!!!!!!????????
