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.

Barrett-Jackson 2014: First production 2015 Ford Mustang earns $300k for JDRF [w/video]
Sat, 18 Jan 2014We've almost become immune to the huge dollar amounts that collectible cars earn for charity at Barrett-Jackson. To wit, $300,000 for the first production 2015 Ford Mustang initially didn't seem like very much money. In reality, though, it's probably about 10 times the actual asking price for the car, and we're pleased to report that 100 percent of the proceeds will go to the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation.
According to Ford, the car's winning bidder will get to "choose a fastback with manual or automatic transmission, and any interior, exterior and stripe color combination offered by Ford on the all-new Mustang." Power will come from a slightly revised version of the well-known 5.0-liter V8 engine that will produce "more than 420hp and 396 pound-feet of torque."
We snapped live images of the 2015 Mustang prototype that Ford had on display here at Barrett-Jackson, and you can check them out above. The official auction description, along with a video of the auction as it happened live, is below.
Ford dominates most-stolen SUV list
Tue, 17 Jun 2014
The Ford Escape leads the NICB's list with 1,421 examples stolen.
If you drive a recent Ford SUV or crossover, you may want to keep a watchful eye out for thieves - especially if you live in the New York metro area or in Detroit. A new study from the National Insurance Crime Bureau has named three Ford models as the most likely vehicles in their genre to be stolen, with CUVs in general being especially attractive to bandits.
Ford fixing 130k vehicles in three recalls
Wed, Oct 28 2015Ford is issuing three new safety campaigns that cover a total of 130,801 vehicles in North America, but the company has no reports of accidents, injuries, or fires from any of these issues. The largest of these campaigns covers 128,823 examples of the 2009-2010 Ford Edge and Lincoln MKX that are currently registered or originally sold in rust-prone areas of North America, including 110,636 in the US. On these crossovers, "corrosion under the reinforcement brackets where the fuel tank is mounted" can potentially result in a fuel leak. To fix the issue, dealers will inspect the tank and will repair or replace it as necessary. The affected locations are: Connecticut, Delaware, the District of Columbia, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont, West Virginia, Wisconsin; and the Canadian provinces of New Brunswick, Newfoundland and Labrador, Nova Scotia, Ontario, Prince Edward Island, and Quebec. Ford is also recalling 1,906 North American examples of the 2016 Mustang, including 1,900 in the US, because of possible damage to some components during shipping to the factory. On the affected pony cars, "dealers will replace front and rear seat belt assemblies, rear seat buckle assemblies, and child tethers," the company says in its statement. Finally, the smallest campaign is for 72 units of the 2016 Ford E-Series cutaway and chassis cab in North America, including 65 in the US. On these, the trailer brakes don't activate when pressing the brake pedal, and dealers need to update the powertrain control module software.
