These were produced at the Ford Chicago Assembly Plat on a very limited production. The car was made popular when the flasy red Ford Gran Torino was used by television detectives Starsky & Hutch as a chase car in the popular Wednesday night television series. This specific car was shipped to a local dealership where a father & son rushed there to see the car. Years later the son found the very same car in a salvage yard and purchased it. Then began the long Frame-off restore project! The mechanical work is finished with every moveable piece and all rubber replaced making it near totally new except for the frame which was sandblasted and painted. This is a very rare purchase opportunity on a very limited production automobile!
