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 – 1^st – 2^nd or 3^rd 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.

NHTSA will investigate some Ford Fusion, Lincoln MKZ models for power steering issue

Tue, 07 Oct 2014

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is opening an investigation into the 2010-2012 Ford Fusion, Fusion Hybrid and Lincoln MKZ, the 2012 MKZ Hybrid and 2011 Mercury Milan because the agency has hundreds of complaints of electric power steering failure in these models.
According to NHTSA's data, it has received 508 complaints of the power steering allegedly suddenly malfunctioning and resulting in increased effort to turn the wheel. In four incidents, these failures resulted in loss of control and crashes. According to the reports, in some cases a power steering warning message came on as the fault occurred, and other times the system restored itself by turning off and then restarting the vehicle. NHTSA said it has also received further field report data from Ford, but that information hasn't been publicly released yet.
For the moment, there isn't a recall for this failure on these models. NHTSA is just investigating them to "assess the scope, frequency and safety consequences of the alleged defect," and the agency says an estimated 938,000 vehicles could potentially be affected.

Shelby to auction 2012 GT350 No. 1 in Vegas

Thu, 19 Sep 2013

With Shelby preparing to wind down production of its brutal GT350, a 624-horsepower Mustang that's meant to go up against the Roush Stage 3 in the world of tuned Ford ponycars, the Las Vegas-based tuner is looking to give back to one lucky customer. It'll auction off the very first GT350 ever produced, at the 2013 Barrett-Jackson auction in Las Vegas, a three-day event that runs from September 26 through September 28.
The GT350 is a monster, with a 5.0-liter, supercharged V8 that's been tuned well past 600 horsepower in a time when Ford's own Shelby-branded GT500 barely reached 550 horsepower. The GT350 is much louder than Ford's effort, too, both visually and audibly. The wide body look isn't what we'd call conventional, but on a car that sounds and goes like this, something extreme is needed. According to Shelby American's vice president of production, Gary Davis, "Carroll was very excited about the new wide body option, so that was included on this car. It's the first 2012 GT350 serial number from our anniversary year. It is a very special car." Wilwood brakes, a massaged suspension, and some very fat, sticky tires add to the Shelby experience.
This particular GT350 will be lot number 750, and will cross the Barrett-Jackson stage on Sunday, September 28.

2016 Ford Focus RS mule spotted on US soil

Tue, 17 Jun 2014

Okay Ford, this is what we like to see. One of our intrepid spy photographers has captured a vehicle that we weren't even sure would see the light of day - the next Focus RS. While this is pretty clearly a mule based on the current Focus ST, as our spy points out, there are a number of giveaways about this hot hatch's true nature.
Indication number one that all is not right with this Focus is the heavily camo'd front fascia, which has been completely reconfigured for duty on the RS. It boasts significantly larger grilles that are meant to accommodate what is likely the 2.3-liter, turbocharged four-cylinder that's destined for the 2015 Ford Mustang. Considering that, then, we can expect around 300 horsepower and 300 pound-feet of torque from the hottest of Foci, although it's entirely possible that the production model could climb even higher, to around 330 hp.
The front fascia tweaks are complemented in the back by a modified rear bumper, which fails at hiding a pair of exhaust tips quite unlike the standard Focus ST's center-exit exhaust. Other obvious changes include the wheel/tire/brake package on this particular car. Larger 19-inch wheels are shod in super-sticky Michelin Pilot Super Sport tires in 235/35/19 while the brakes feature what we think are four-piston calipers, possibly from Brembo, up front.
