Absolutely cool to keep this car pristine for almost 50 years.
Born in 66, I watched Starsky and Hutch and this car is bad to the bone brother!
As a Torino owner myself I own a 72 fastback the Clint Eastwood special this is awesome RIP Hutch 😢
The love of the Striped Tomato is beyond money and trophies. Thanks for sharing this beautiful car.
I wanted this car the moment i first saw it on Starsky and hutch it’s a classic
I think we all did. Loved this car.
One of the best looking cars ever.
I loved "Starsky & Hutch" in the 70 s. And I loved to see this car. My mum had to by it for me in a toy shop 😍
That is one Awesome car !!!! And being the original owner makes it so much better!
I did not know that they put 460 big blocks under the hood of these!!! That makes these even more awesome!!!!😇
Born in the late 70S , this car is the most iconic ever
Wrong. Born in the mid 70's. That body style was introduced in 73.
@@richardisner3671 That body style was introduced in 1972. 1976 was the last year for the Torino.
@@lvsqcsl introduced in 72 as a 73 model the 72 model had a different body style.
@@richardisner3671At what point in his comment did he say when that body was introduced?
@@TJ-qz6hr If you would have read the second comment you would have seen the post I was commenting on. You really need to read ALL comments before making foolish comments.
Thank you for this great story and for keeping the car in such pristine condition. I'm a huge fan of the car and the show and at 59, still wanting to build a replica. Came close once but didn't have the money. But someday...
Born in ‘70’, absolutely loved that show. That is so awesome that you have 1 of 100 made. I was under the assumption that car had the 351 in it. Had no idea they had those with the 460. That’s also incredible. That is a really very nice car. Kudos to this guy.
I had a 1974 Gran Torino back in the late '70's. Loved that car.
So did I. First new car I ever bought. Put keystone klassics on her. Monthly bank loan payments were 95.00 per month. 400 Windsor in her. I loved that car. So did everyone else. Rust/red exterior wirh tan vinyl roof and matching upholstery. Such a great looking car.
You got yourself a diamond there sir.
Very cool story, must not be many left. Even though we were in the smog age, the sheer cubic inch of that 460 must be pretty brutal.
I have wanted this car my entire life!!!! Im sixty years old now and so envious of you!!!! Enjoy it!!!
Born in 64 and an artist from childhood, I used to draw this car for anybody that wanted it from 76 to about 78 when I was 12-14 years old. Great memories, great time to grow up.....
...also born in 1964 and an artist from childhood. I was a big CARtoons / Krass & Bernie fan and learned a lot about drawing from that magazine.
Born in '71 here. As an italian kid living in Italy, back in the day I used to watch the show every thursday night at 8 p.m on the national tv, on a black and white tv screen!
I'm a grown man now, and since I never tought there could be a car that could be moore cool than this one.
I'm totally in love with the red striped tomato, and always be.
Back in the days when normal people could afford to live their passion and buy their dream car. These cars may have had flaws but they were cool and had a strong identity. Authenticity and character. Thanks for the video and congratulations to the owner for his dedication.
Nice car!!!! I wish I had one!!!! I love Starsky and Hutch my favorite show from 1975!!!!! I am from Montgomery, MN.
What a beauty my friend hope you keep her pristine for many many years to come
What a cool car, love the story behind it as well.
I was 16 in 1978, I had to have one of these cars. I found one that was all black. I couldn’t afford to paint it red but I did manage to get a set of those aluminum slots to put in it. It was awesome!
Thank you for preserving it all these years. It probably hasn’t been easy. Thank you! Beautiful car. Hope you get a good chunk when you finally decide to part with it. God bless you.
Being a young kid growing up in Hollywood I got to see a lot of location filming for shows like Starsky and Hutch, Barretta, The Rockford Files, Adam-12, Barnaby Jones, etc. I saw the show car several times.
It was one of my most favorite shows from the 70s! I had no idea however, that Ford made a thousand 'Starsky and Hutch' cars because of the popularity of the show (and was was one of my favorite!). Thanks for the info and am glad you kept it all of these years!
Beautiful car my man
Awesome story and awesome car
Love it. Beautiful car!
Great car! Terrific story!!! When I was a kid I loved this car! Loved the show.
Pretty cool I remember seeing a couple of them on the road
Beautiful car, thanks for sharing this gem. I remember watching Starsky and Hutch as a kid.
It takes a man like him to care for and keep this car in its original beauty !
Awesome you kept it soo long !!! NICE !! Gorgeous car !!!!
THIS was the car that every boy in my neighborhood wanted, along with the Trans Am from the first Smokey and the Bandit. Third on the list was the original General Lee.
But this beauty, oh my, I was in love with it!
Awesome man! Enjoy it
WOW 🤩 I was born in the 60s , watched all the Starsky & Hutch tv series ....this video has put a massive smile on my face and I never knew this car was available to buy as I'm not American ...that's an awesome story of how this man bought the car brand new ....its worth so much more than money and I imagine hes very proud to own it , I know I would be
Great story and production. i remember in 1976 our local Ford dealer got one of these.
Always wondered why Ford did not market the Sport version as the S and H car. It had tach and Gauges and sports suspension.
I know the sport version was discontinued in 76.
The whole car was discontinued in 1976.
Possibly as iconic as Mad Max's 1973 Ford XB Falcon GT 351
That Falcon is pure badassery.
crazy having the same car for 48 years so cool
I always loved the show and the car as well!! Great piece of TV history..
Awesome backstory, love it
Max, that's cool and it's great to "meet you ". I used to love drawing all kinds of cars, trucks and dragsters, myself. One of my favorite cartoons of all time is The Far Side....
I wish I had a Starsky and Hutch limited edition 1976 Ford Gran Torino but instead I have a diecast model that was made ERTL for the past twenty years.
Thanks for your service to our country! It is an absolute cool car .thanks for the video. I used to have a 1974 grand torino elite. It had the 351 Windsor. Man I miss torino. I had it 30 years ago.👍🇺🇲
I had my tonsils and adenoids removed as a kid in the 70s and my parents gave me this toy car when I woke up from the operation. It came boxed with Starsky and Hutch figures. Love the car Greg ❤
a real beauty, love these cars. And to make a run of a thousand, I wonder how many of these are left.👍😁
Fabulous example!nice to see!!!
Great car and even better memories, thanks brother
You got yourself a diamond there sir) love it)))

My favorite TV car.
I had one after high school 76 Dad had it ordered from Ford. Yours looks awesome. Love how you put together the history of Starsky and Hutch.
Very cool! I loved the show and that car. Love the slot rims.
Born in the late '50s. This is the most iconic car ever.
Born in 61 here, loved it then. Love it now. Especially one that is immaculate and same tires/rims and interior as the tv car
You gotta get the Starsky sweater too !
Great story!
Excellent! Thanks for sharing. This encouragement for me to stick with my project so I too can enjoy my old school when I retire. Good stuff.
YOU ARE VERY LUCKY!!!! WISH I HAD ONE !!!!!!!!!
Cheers to you, mate, from Australia. Great Torino.
I’ve always told myself number 1 on my wish list if I ever win the lottery is an immaculate S&H car
True, money can't buy happiness. But it can rent it for a while. Very nice ride. I bet you were a cool dude in the 70s!
Very nice! Thanks for sharing your story. 👍

Nice. I enjoyed the video. Nice car. My aunt had one.. hers was brown. I’ve got a 1978 ford Granada 4 speed manual Ghia 351 Windsor worked over. We love our toys.
That is a sweet ride. 👍👍👍👍👍🍻
We have a Ukraine National army Capitan , who call name is Operator Starsky. He love the show , he named his dog Futch.
Awesome! Thanks for posting.
I had no idea that they put 460 engines in 100 units of this Torino special edition package. Makes it even cooler!
Brilliant vid, loved Karkey and Clutch.
Beautiful car sir I am jealous 😎👍👍
Awesome! Great story too!
I grew up with that show,love that car.
I bought a new 1972 429 CJ Gran Torino in '72. Last year for that engine option.
That transmission must be a sweetheart

Love to watch the show because of the car, love the car👍 thank you for sharing.
Top! lucky man :-) Greetings from a Ford Gran Torino fan in Normandie
What a cool story.
So awesome! You the man!
Good for you, Greg! What a blast to drive around in that beauty. I made a video (it's on CZcams) of the car using 'Run Like Hell' by Pink Floyd and clips from the show. I got so many comments criticizing the car and its handling. Like I care.
Good stuff
@@gregoryrankin4728 Thanks!
The really great thing is that he’s driving it and showing it off.
You lucky sob. I was too young and could only. Paint one of my slot cars to look like that. My favorite show at the time. I was about 14.
