Graveyard Carz Season 3 Episode 9 The Grand Torino

The Grand Torino is the ninth episode of the third season of the popular automotive restoration show, Graveyard Carz. The episode follows the crew of Mark Worman's Springfield, Oregon-based auto shop as they tackle a unique and challenging restoration project - a 1972 Ford Gran Torino.

The episode begins with Mark introducing the team to the car, which he has named "The Grand Torino." The car has been sitting in a barn for several decades and is in rough shape, with rust, dents, and missing parts all over. Mark explains that the car has sentimental value to him as it was one of his first cars and he drove it in high school.

Mark and the crew get to work assessing the damage and creating a plan for how to restore the car. They find that the body of the car is in relatively good shape but there are many missing and damaged components that will need to be replaced. They make a list of all the parts they will need and begin ordering them.

Meanwhile, the team begins the laborious process of stripping the car down to its bare metal in preparation for bodywork. They spend hours sanding and sandblasting every inch of the car, removing rust and old paint. They then begin the process of repairing the body, which involves welding in new metal and filling in dents and scratches.

As the bodywork is underway, the team begins work on the engine. The car is outfitted with a 460 cubic inch V8 engine, which they plan to rebuild and modify for increased horsepower. They also begin upgrading other components of the car, including the suspension, brakes, and exhaust system.

Throughout the episode, the team works tirelessly to restore the car to its former glory. They encounter many challenges along the way, including finding parts that are no longer available and repairing damage caused by previous owners. However, they persevere and eventually complete the restoration, unveiling the finished car to a thrilled Mark.

The Grand Torino is a heartwarming and inspiring episode of Graveyard Carz, showcasing the skilled craftsmanship and dedication of the auto shop's team. Fans of the show are sure to be impressed by their work on this unique and challenging restoration project.
