Up For Auction 1975 Ford Starsky and Hutch Gran Torino Clone (Car Carriers Existing Warranty) A Turn Key - Dependable Vehicle – Has not seen any winters one of the best you will find and it comes with a Warranty please read thoroughly.The Car HistoryI am the second registered owner on this car – The car DSO was Tulsa Oklahoma where it was sold at Fred Jones Ford in Feb 1975. In 2006 the car was willed to the owner’s nephew in Michigan. I purchased the car in July 2006 with an original 54,000 miles. I still have the original Vehicle Books / Tire Warranty and Name Plate Warranties from the original 1975 sale. After a great deal of vigorous research from Actual Ford Motor Company Employees who worked on the Limited Edition S&H Torinos and mounds of paperwork between studios and Ford archives I had all the information I needed to create the Starsky and Hutch Clone Gran Torino. This car was cloned after S&H Season 1 and 2 vehicles. The car is painted the actual 2B Red with Wimbledon White Vector Stripe – the 15” Mags are the original Ansen Sprints from late 1970’s, The Motorola Radio was purchased from a Studio in California that is correct to season 2. The Interior consists of Bucket Seats & Center Council.Along with a fully programmable Platinum Series Federal Smart Siren and Magnetic Flashing Light with multiple additional features that can be programmed from a Laptop. This car has won numerous awards over the years and has appeared in various news reports and publishing’s including Autoweek Daily during the Michigan Woodward Dream Cruise (See Link) http://www.autoweek.com/article/20120818/carnews01/120819895It has appeared on other media venues such as Fox 2 News most popular TV Show Car / Michigan Cruisn News and Times Herald News Papers. This Iconic vehicle continues to turn heads and promote smiles from Youth to adults. Most recent award was received in June 1014 Second Place - Awards range from Best of Show – Best of Class – 1st – 2nd or 3rd place. The bumper inserts on the car are painted gray for a reason – In certain segments of season 1 you will see this for yourself. The story behind these being painted gray varies from Distinguishing Stunt Cars to Drive Cars on the studio set during actual filming – too assisting in identifying PS122 vehicles at the Chicago Assembly Plant. There are many other stories however the most accurate reason is because in 1975 2B Red was not offered on Standard Ford Vehicles; however Fleet and Special Order Vehicles could be ordered in this color. Hence going back to the story theory of the gray insert assisting CAP workers in identifying PS122 vehicles as special or fleet vehicle orders. The Car Make UpAs aforementioned the car was purchased with 54,000 original miles in 2006. Unfortunately at the end of the 2013 cruise season the original 351 Windsor Engine gave its last horsepower run from Sprinfield Illinois where it took Second Place amongst nine other S&H Torinos.
