Fred L.'s 1974 Gran Torino Sport
"Starsky & Hutch®" Replica
Fred bought this car in 2003, with original
460 engine, which was blown at the time
and needed a complete rebuild. It has since been rebuilt with flat top pistons,
three-quarter cam, Edelbrock Performer intake, and 750 cfm Holley carb.
Suspension, steering and brakes to be done soon, Fred says. The rust and dings
were repaired and the car was sprayed Viper red with ford white for the stripe.
The car was originally dark brown with beige and orange sport interior with full gauges.
Fred's currently changing the interior to black with red Sport interior.
Fred says the car already draws a lot of looks - and it’s not done yet!
"I have always wanted one since I first saw it on the screen 30 years ago," he says.
"I would like to thank my family and friends for all their help with this dream.
especially my friend and boss, Dan, owner of Maaco N.K.C.
for allowing me the chance to build my dream car at work on the weekends."
