Where to begin with this car....it is one of 1,300 specially-made Starsky & Hutch replica cars that rolled out of the factory in Chicago like this. There are two ways to be sure it's an original: the VIN begins with "6G30" and the DSO number ends in "0022". I have the original build sheet from the factory showing both. Now to the fun stuff: it's got a 351 Windsor engine with headers and dual straight pipes that sound just beautiful. This car is in great shape and could be a daily driver in a warmer climate. I've had the car since 2013 and have never driven in the rain or snow. Judging by the looks of the undercarriage, I dont think the previous owners did either. A look inside the engine compartment will show all new hoses and vacuums. I can't say enough about how well this car runs. I only wish I lived down south! Since I bought it, I've had the transmission re-built, I added a "Retrosound" stereo system, which is blue tooth capable and can play music right from your phone (look it up for more details). I had the instrument panel completely cleaned and restored and added LED bulbs for brighter affect. It even has a siren, flashing "wig-wag" headlights and the red magnetic bubble light that plugs into the cigarette lighter. Everything works perfectly. Every time I take her for a ride, I get waves and thumbs-up from people. Even drove it in 3 parades! The details on this car are great, right down to the red-painted engine block and rear drum brakes. The rake/stance is awesome too, with the big fat tires in the back and the more narrow in the front. Full disclosure: the heater core is broken and the hoses are not hooked up. I have a new core, just haven't felt the need to install it because I only drive in the summer. The heater-motor itself doesn't work, only the vents where you'll feel air when driving. And lastly, the windshield wipers don't work. The car came with a new wiper motor, which I have installed, but not wired yet. Again, I don't see the need. It also comes with several goodies, including a center console/armrest that I bought for $350, and other small parts and accessories. I love this car and am only selling her because my wife is leaving her job and we'll need the extra $$$. There is an active loan on the car with a balance of roughly $2400. I think $15,000 is fair asking price, but I will negotiate within reason. You can even keep the mini-disco ball that hangs from the mirror! Thank you!On Jan-16-18 at 18:16:44 PST, seller added the following information: Update: I am paying off the loan this week and should have the title in hand within 2 weeks.On Jan-20-18 at 15:09:39 PST, seller added the following information: There is some paint bubbling on the panel in front of the left rear wheel and 2 small oval-shaped depressions on the left fender (the result of poor body work/filler, most likely). They are difficult to capture in photos. Also some tiny paint chipping on the trunk lid. This stuff is minor and not immediately noticeable, but I'm trying to be honest. You have to keep in mind that the car is 42 years old and has been owned and driven by regular people. It hasn't been kept in a glass box for all those years.
