Hi Does anyone know where I can find the breakdown of 72 Torinos built? I'm looking for the option breakdown. Specifically, how many came with the 4 speed? I believe it was around 600. Thanks ------------- 69 Mach 1 70 TORINO COBRA 71 TORINO COBRA 72 Z28 CAMARO 94 MUSTANG 5.0 LX NOTCH 72 GTS Q CODE 61 Galaxie 427 62 Galaxie 406 64 Galaxie country sedan 1972 GTS Q CODE 1972 GTS Q CODE BLACK |

2091 GTS fastback according to Marti. I'd have to dig through my files to see how many GTS formals were made but I'd guess about half. Then there'd also be a handful or non GTS Torinos that had 4-speeds too. Even some base models got them. See the Marti report info on this 4-speed GTS Fastback. https://forum.grantorinosport.org/1972-gts-fastback-qcode-4speed-holy-grail_topic21443.html#233679" rel="nofollow - https://forum.grantorinosport.org/1972-gts-fastback-qcode-4speed-holy-grail_topic21443.html#233679 ------------- Vince 1972 Ford GTS Sportsroof - Survivor, One Family car GTS.org Admin |

I know the 2091 number but I believe that means total cars that had the Q code and manual. Meaning total of formal roofs and fast backs. I have owned 2 of these over the years and I thought I remembered that Q codes sports with a stick were a big over 600 produced. Sure seemed that way when I was looking for a 4 speed car🤣 ------------- 69 Mach 1 70 TORINO COBRA 71 TORINO COBRA 72 Z28 CAMARO 94 MUSTANG 5.0 LX NOTCH 72 GTS Q CODE 61 Galaxie 427 62 Galaxie 406 64 Galaxie country sedan 1972 GTS Q CODE 1972 GTS Q CODE BLACK |

No. The 2091 is how many 1972 GTS Sportsroofs with 4-speeds were produced. Look below and read the stats. They are specifically for the 1972 Gran Torino Sport 2-door Sportsroof only.  There were 12,844 Q-Code GTS fastbacks made. Of those, 10,753 had autos and 2091 had manuals. I also have a report which shows that:
I don't have the numbers for a 1972 GTS formal roof, or a 1972 Gran Torino (non-sport) with 4-speeds. ------------- Vince 1972 Ford GTS Sportsroof - Survivor, One Family car GTS.org Admin |

Ok. Don’t know why I thought that then. Getting old. Memory just not what it used to be I guess. 🤣 ------------- 69 Mach 1 70 TORINO COBRA 71 TORINO COBRA 72 Z28 CAMARO 94 MUSTANG 5.0 LX NOTCH 72 GTS Q CODE 61 Galaxie 427 62 Galaxie 406 64 Galaxie country sedan 1972 GTS Q CODE 1972 GTS Q CODE BLACK |

I should make up a chart breaking down the production numbers I have collected over the years. Give me some time and I will post something to the forum over the winter. ------------- Vince 1972 Ford GTS Sportsroof - Survivor, One Family car GTS.org Admin |

Here is a link to a 1972 Gran Torino (non-Sport) 4 speed car that was for sale. It looks like 219 regular 1972 Gran Torinos with the 4 speed were built. I remember there being a Marti Report for a 4 speed 1972 GTS formal being posted here before, but it was years ago and I’d have to try to locate it. https://www.mainlymusclecars.com/1972-ford-gran-torino" rel="nofollow - https://www.mainlymusclecars.com/1972-ford-gran-torino 283 1972 Ranchero 500s had the 4 speed: https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1972-ford-ranchero-11/" rel="nofollow - https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1972-ford-ranchero-11/

Thank you Griffin! Now I just need to find the numbers for a GTS formal roof and we will have all the 1972 4-speed numbers. ------------- Vince 1972 Ford GTS Sportsroof - Survivor, One Family car GTS.org Admin |
