Jerad L.'s 1973 Gran Torino
"Starsky & Hutch®" Replica
The story about Jerad and this car is so
unique, I have to let him tell it:
"Although I was just a kid when the series
came out, the car particularly drew me to it.
It made me want to be those guys so bad! Then in mid 1977, my father, Buddy,
got a job at the studios in Transportation with local 399.
He worked on various Spelling & Goldberg productions like 'Charlie’s Angels,'
'Fantasy Island,' 'Family,' and 'Starsky & Hutch.'
Late one night, he woke me up just to show me the giant revolver
David Soul used while filming. Apparently, at the end of the day, it was
customary just to shove it under the seat of the car until the next day."

Even though he’s not yet old enough to drive, the look in my son’s eyes
when he looks at this car makes me want to hide my keys at night.
Another generation 'Starsky & Hutch' Torino fan is born."
