Shane B.'s 1976 Ford Gran Torino® |
||||||
|
|
||||||
| Shane's dad, Chuck, brought this 1976 Gran Torino to the Carlisle All-Ford Nationals in June of 2008 and we took the opportunity to shoot some new photos of the car which was sporting a brand new paint job done by Chuck himself. This is one of two S&H Torinos Chuck and his sons C.J. and Shane own. There's a link to the other one's page at the bottom of this page. Be sure to check out all these photos before you go see the other one. | ||||||

| Chuck is one of several guys from the Joisey/Philly area who frequent the All-Ford Nationals, sometimes bringing Shane and C.J. along to join the fun. He's a great guy, and has a great car to match. This year the car was proudly displayed under the S&H Torino Owners' tent, a great representation of the group as a whole. 12 S&H Torinos were there - if you own one, why wasn't yours? Well, okay, I hope we'll see you next year! | ||||||

| If you look very closely at the upper photos, you'll see a clutch next to the brake, and a 4 speed shifter on the floor. This is Chuck's custom work, as Gran Torinos only came with 3 speed automatics in 1976. There's a Monster 460 engine on the other end of the gas pedal, so don't challenge this car at the stop light, you'll just go home cryin' to your mamma if you do! | ||||||

Once upon a time, Chuck also owned
a blue S&H Torino replica. |
