Shane B.'s 1976 Ford Gran Torino®
"Starsky & Hutch"®Replica
|
|
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.
It went missing for over 20 years - but it has been found, and it's red now!
