@@RustyBlades62 Hey Eddie, I don't stock torinos. When I find a good candidate that is reasonable I buy it. The last two torinos were guys who brought me their torino for starskyization. I'd scour the web and find one and have it shipped here first. That would save on shipping.
I was just talking tonight to the owner of Torino #30. He has done so much wonderful work to it, almost like new. His mechanic took it for a drive and buried the speedometer. Said he was smooth as glass and ran perfectly. They are made to run. He is having a blast with it. I'm really happy for him.
Thumbs-Up #9 I am this time, Tuesday afternoon 11 December 2018! You Sir are a Master of your craft and a blessing to people that are wanting to own one of these Gran Torinos! Beautiful it is!
"TV show accurate stripe" I like that phrase since the one from Ford was wrong. I also like the fiberglass (I guess) that is between the bumpers is painted too. I've seen some cars where that is painted grey. Absolutely beautiful car!
Thanks Terrill, The pieces between the bumpers and the body are called "sight shields". The rear is polyurathane and the front is metal with poly ends. The story is that non standard custom color cars got silver sight shields. I agree, body color sight shields look better to me too.
Beautiful s&h, a man in b'ham alabama had a 74 with the correct rear windows, vinyl top, doo doo green, zero rust, cleveland car for 2500.00 on fb marketplace about 3 weeks ago perfect clone car. As you know those side rear windows have to be correct or the stripe will suffer. i want to build one so bad but after open heart surgery ans disability the funds are history as with my bought new 96 eddie bauer ford bronco with 28 grand on the garage kept clock went on ebay and sold for 36,000 more than i paid for it new.

Hi Mark, Yes. I did another torino after this one and working on #44 now. It belongs to someone and I don't have another one for sale at this moment. Steve
Well since nobody makes reproductions your choices are very limited. Ebay, craigslist, marketplace or message boards like the torino sport forum. I have a set I'm selling but they are in rough shape. They would make good place holders while you look for good ones.
Hi There. I lay out the stripe. My painter just backward masks after I have laid out the stripe with tape on the car. I don't use a template that I can sell. A good friend of mine owned the Hero #1 car and gave me the measurements so I can be dead on accurate to the TV show.
Good day glad to know about your Channel i would love it ig You could help me yo solve My doubt What are the measurements of the rear and front wheel of width height and measurements of the tires i would apreciate ir very much

An absolute beauty! The craftsmanship you put in to this torino is unbelievable. Always wanted one of my own.
Thank you Eddie, Its never to late to start planning to get one. 8^)
@@born_again_torinos If I was interested in purchasing a torino from you, how does that process begin? I'm curious as to just what I'd be needing.

That is one bad ass torino. Imagine running down the interstate at about 75 man thats a feeling of freedom, of nothing else matters. Great job. WOW!

I also have a Starsky Torino 1974, mine has the bench seat!! Love the one you got!!! Very cool. Thanks for sharing!
Hi Cedric, you are part of a rare club. Enjoy your 74 while you can! Steve
Looks Great!
I wish I could find one to keep the car on my bucket list to have,,Steve from Richmond Virginia
They are still out there. It is just harder to find them. When one pops up you have to be ready to snap it up.
None in Virginia😥😥😥😥😥😥😥😥😥😥😥😥😥😥😥😥😥😥😥😥😥😥😥😥😥😥😥😥😥😥😥😥😥😥😥😥😥😥😥😥😥😥😥😥😥😥😥😥😥😥😥
Looks great..love the car
Man I wish I could afford one of these babies.
They get harder to afford with each passing year.
SO NICE!!!!!! 😁😁😁
Very nice!
Looking good!
Hey Robert, thank you very much. I hope we get to see you and Celeste soon.

If you have one ready spring of 2020 I’d be interested.
I'll have one in the summer of 2019 done.
Me gusta el carro
Thank you very much.
Thanks for the reply. Got an extra side marker light by any chance?
Yes I do. I'll look through the for the best one.
So you can't have the tires rotated, since you have 15's in the rear and 14's in the front?
Steve. When is the next one
Does it have a Ford Vulcan or Duratec engine? Gotta love these old fwd Fords
Matt, I've been a car guy for 45 years. I've never heard of those engines before.
@@born_again_torinos if its a V8 most likely a Windsor either way I love these cars and Starsky and Hutch in general. Awesome ride btw 👍
@@mattmaverick703 No, it's a 400. Most did have windsors though.
Is the white stripe paint or decal?. Amazing car.
Hi, All my torinos are 100% painted. I never use wraps or decals for the stripe. Thank you for the kind words.

I get another web site when I put you's in?
I've decided not to keep up the website and promote my torinos on youtube only. I'll see if I can remove the url.
Any idea where I could get the chrome and lip moulding for my car?
