Starsky & Hutch 1975 Ford Gran Torino

Description

This vehicle started life as a light blue, 1975 Ford Gran Torino with a dark blue interior, bench seat, column shift, a dark blue vinyl top and those adorable opera windows (when I hear the fat lady singing I'll finally understand why they put those on cars!). There are still some things on the interior that I hope to replace, and eventually I want to pull the motor, rebuild it, and then paint and detail the engine compartment to like-new quality.

The biggest kick is the joy you bring to people's faces when they see the car. I remember one 7-year-old boy in particular who was in a car driving past me. His face lit up like he'd seen the bestest, coolest thing in the whole wide world! That look on his face and the obvious thrill he got from seeing it is what I love most about this car. Seeing that expression on his face was awesome! :-) The car has 15" on the rear and 14" on the front. You can still get them at AKH Wheels. If you want, I can get you the tire sizes too, just let me know. The stripe was hand laid using a bunch of photos from the TV show and movie. It's the most important element <b>...</b>
