1975 Ford Gran Torino Starsky & Hutch tribute!!

 

Here is a very nice Starsky& Hutch Gran Torino. The paint and body is beautiful and the car runs and drives well. As a matter of fact, I took it to the Howard County Grand Prix Car Show last week and it won a trophy. She has a 351w and automatic transmission with a 9-inch rear. The paint color and graphics layout are very authentic looking and it turns heads wherever I go with it. It's a great cruise night car and a great addition to anyone's collection.


The car has a nice looking interior with no cuts or tears in the seat or dash pad, the headliner does have a hole that is hidden by the passenger visor. The car has Air Conditioning and it still works and blows cold. She has front disc brakes and the factory dual remote mirror option. She also has the in-dash clock option; the clock is not working.  I believe the drivetrain to be original and note that the odometer says 17k.   Title history shows that the car has 47k on it.  Previous title has it listed as beyond mechanical limits, etc. She has a Kenwood AM/FM CD stereo that works well.

The 351w has a 4-barrel carb and intake added, but otherwise is stock -- and has dual exhaust with Flowmaster mufflers. It has a nice rumble sitting at idle. She cruises well and sips fuel -- if you keep your foot out of it. Of course, this heavy old girl with this engine won't make anyone stand up at the drag strip, but she's great for cruisin'. Lights and signals work fine. The car is ready to bump the key and drive away. The old girl has a slight lifter tap (or an exhaust leak) when cold - hard to tell which since I am hard of hearing. The only rust I have noted on the car is the rear passenger floor - which the previous owner has already layed in new metal. It's a great project car for a modest tinkerer. I have taken care of a few things while I have it - like the battery hold down, the upper rad hose was installed backwards, new plugs, new dome light lens and fixed light socket. I also replaced the horn. She's not perfect, but she is very respectable and draws attention everywhere she goes. "Can I take my picture with it" is probably the most common question I get when I am out driving it around.  Gauges work, including fuel and temp - and the previous owner installed a security kill switch.  I will show you where it is when you take ownership of the car if you'd like to use it to enhance your protection.

One other thing -- you'll note that the Gran Torino is very rare. Many S&H clones are erroneously made from Torinos -- this has the correct trim at the back, correct taillights and rocker moldings, etc that the regular Torino did not. I am a classic muscle collector myself and the only reason I am selling this one is that I have (2). I took this one as part of a deal from a dealer in Ohio.   The car is here in my garage in Baltimore and the title is clear and in my name.

You are welcome to make an appointment with me and review the car in person before the auction ends.

A few questions have already been asked - and since response contact info was included, I can't post them here...

- Yes, you can (if you must) pay for the entire car via PayPal.  You will need to add 2.9% to the total due to cover the fee that I will be charged.

- Yes, I can haul the car for you myself if you are in the Eastern US.  I will charge $1.70 per loaded mile.  If you are local to Baltimore, it's free.

- Yes, I will work with a shipper and get the car loaded, etc.  No problem.

- Another reply with contact info - so I can't post directly.  Yes, I would feel comfortable driving the car home over a substantial distance.  Two weeks ago, I just drove it through several counties and ran a full tank of gas without issue.  She is a pleasure to drive.  The only performance concern I have is that the 4v carb that was added is probably too big for the 351W without upgrading the cam/lifters.  The carb can supply the fuel, but the engine still only wants the same amount it always took since it's stock/un-modified.

- The car is also for sale locally and therefore I reserve the right to end the auction early if the car sells locally.  If the reserve is met first, I will let the auction run it's course.

Mulally to stay at Ford through end of 2014 at least

Fri, 06 Dec 2013

Alan Mulally isn't going anywhere... at least not just yet. The CEO who helped turn around Ford Motor Company has been linked to the top job at tech behemoth Microsoft, leading to a flurry of rumors about potential successors. Those rumors, though, may have just been put to rest - at least for a little while.
Speaking to Edsel Ford II (great-grandson of company founder Henry Ford) at the unveiling of the new Mustang, Automotive News Europe confirmed that Mulally would stick around until the end of next year. "Alan is staying through the end of 2014 and that's all I know," said Ford. "Frankly, he has told us that his plan is to stay with Ford through the end of 2014."
Presuming that Edsel Ford is correct and that Microsoft isn't so hot on Mulally that it saves the position for him, it seems increasingly likely that the 68-year-old exec is more interested in continuing to work in Dearborn rather than in Redmond.

2022 New York Auto Show Roundup | All the reveals, reviews, pictures

Fri, Apr 15 2022

NEW YORK — In case you missed it, the New York Auto Show took place this year after being canceled in both 2020 and 2021 due to Covid. A lot of manufacturers showed up in force, but not everybody did. No matter, we were there, and we brought you news, photos and scoops from the floor throughout the show. All of our New York-related stories can be found at our central hub here, but if youÂ’d rather just get a small taste of everything in a quick and digestible format, keep scrolling. 2023 Kia Telluride and its new X-Pro trim Kia revealed the TellurideÂ’s first major refresh at New York, and it makes the three-row crossover a little bit more desirable without screwing up what we liked about it before. ThereÂ’s a new X-Line and X-Pro trim for someone who might want a little more off-road capability, and a number of tech improvements. Most notably, a newly-designed dash features new and bigger screens. 2023 Hyundai Palisade The TellurideÂ’s sister car from Hyundai was treated to a similar refresh. Like the Telluride, Hyundai gave the Palisade a slightly revised look, a new off-road trim (called XRT in the PalisadeÂ’s case), more tech inside and a new dash design with full-width air vents. If we had to choose, weÂ’re a little more impressed with the TellurideÂ’s refresh, as a number of us on staff actually prefer the pre-refresh Palisade styling over the new one. 2023 Jeep Wagoneer L and Grand Wagoneer L This one was inevitable. Jeep revealed the longer, roomier versions of its Wagoneer and Grand Wagoneer in New York, and theyÂ’re designated with an “L” at the end of their names. Total length grows by a foot, and the wheelbase goes up by 7 inches versus the standard Wagoneer models. Jeep has essentially allocated all this extra room to the cargo area, as it now offers a staggering 44.2 cubic-feet of space behind the third row. Besides the L, Jeep announced that its new Hurricane inline-six engine would find its first home in the Wagoneer. Efficiency gets a small boost, and power is more than sufficient at either 420 horsepower (standard output) or 510 horsepower (high-output version) from the twin-turbo I-6. Chrysler Airflow Graphite Concept The Stellantis party continues with Chrysler and its slightly revised Airflow. Re-styled for the New York market after initially debuting at CES in Las Vegas, the Airflow Concept gets new paint, changed accent colors, a slightly changed interior design and a new interpretation of the Chrysler logo.
