Allen Park, Michigan, United States
Up For Auction 1975 Ford
Starsky and Hutch Gran Torino Clone (Comes with a 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 History I 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/carnews01/120819895 It 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 Up As 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. The Original 351 Windsor has been replaced with a 351W Crate
Motor purchased from Napa Auto. At the Present time the Engine has Less the
2,000 miles – while the body has approx. 63,000. The Engine has a transferable 3 Year
Unlimited Mileage Warranty. Vehicle overview
Drive Train and Interior
The Car is absolutely
solid and well maintained – Please keep in mind we drive our car we do not
house it in a trailer and take it to different venues. Cars especially one like this with an iconic background
are meant to be driven and enjoyed by owners and spectators so there are nicks
on the paint – simply said some road rash here and there – However it is still
a well-represented car at shows and 9 times out of 10 will place for an award. Paint
is solid 9 out of 10. Included with the sale are various spare parts – from Window Trim – to Wire Harnesses, Lights – switches etc…the hard to find items for these cars. Vehicle Needs - but does not hinder operation
As mentioned the car has a
3 Year Unlimited Mileage Warranty on the engine and other parts as listed above
this is based on required oil changes and receipts. At the present time the
engine has received its 500 Mile Break in Oil Change and will be getting
scheduled changes at Valvoline Instant Oil Change.

This unique '64 Mustang was Edsel Ford II's first car
Thu, 02 Jan 2014You probably had the same dream when you were a teenager. Your sixteenth birthday is coming up, or Christmas, or maybe both, and all you want is a muscle car to call your own. That dream has come true for some, and one of them was none other than Edsel Ford II.
Henry Ford's great grandson turned 16 on December 27, 1964 - two days after Christmas and eight months after the original Mustang went on sale. And that's just what was waiting for him in the driveway, courtesy of his father (and reigning chief executive) Henry Ford II.
The specially-prepared pony car had a pearlescent cream paintjob with narrow blue racing stripes, functional hood scoop, chrome trim, Euro-spec fender-mounted mirrors, a blue leather and aluminum interior, a monogrammed fuel cap... and a 289-cubic-inch V8 under the hood.
Lincoln 'not true luxury' yet, says Ford design chief
Wed, 28 Aug 2013Lincoln is "not true luxury," according to Ford's design boss, J Mays. His statements come from a story in The Detroit News that saw candid language on the issues facing Ford's troubled premium brand. Notably, there's a need for a strong character, with Mays saying, "Every brand needs to have a DNA and a unique selling point and things in the vehicle that make you think, 'That's that particular brand.'"
With a range of rebadged Fords, it's not hard to see why that DNA is missing. Mays hinted that a full recovery for Lincoln will be a ten-year process, that's been kicked off with the MKZ sedan. While that car is still largely a Ford Fusion under its extremely pretty wrapper, it's the first Lincoln in some time to inject its own unique take both through the exterior styling and through interior features, such as the vertical, pushbutton gear selection.
Some analysts weren't so certain about Mays' 10-year estimate. Jim Hall of 2953 Analytics thinks it'll be more like 30 years before Lincoln can show a true return to form. The issue, as Hall explains it, is that, "luxury has a degree of exclusivity," that Lincoln just doesn't have. Michelle Krebs from Edmunds adds, "it's definitely a wanna-be luxury brand," comparing the troubled American brand with Infiniti and Acura, two other brands that have struggled to find their place in the luxury market.
Aussie Ford Falcon GT shows its rear end to Lamborghini Gallardo
Sun, 27 Apr 2014When Ford Australia announces, as it did recently, that it wants to celebrate the end of its Ford Performance Vehicle division with a Falcon FPV GT-F that celebrates big-bore origins of the nameplate, it's talking about the kind of car in this video.
At some point the classic Falcon GT - said to be an XY series - was invited to a test of acceleration against a Lamborghini Gallardo. At the very least, the Falcon GT had a 351 cubic-inch motor and 300 horsepower, but whatever this guy's got under the hood of his yellow sedan makes has him so confident that he doesn't even move his elbow from its resting place on the door.
You'll find a reminder of Ford Australia's heyday, a raucous exhaust note and some NSFW language in the short video below.
