Summer of 1977 my father and I decided to drive cross country from upstate NY to California and back..I was 16 and it took us 3 weeks to cover all those miles...We were stopped in San Francisco for what we thought was construction...while waiting I see this flash of red coming from the side...It was this Torino moving up fast...It slid sideways and came to a screeching stop...the two jumped out and Starsky slid across the hood...they were filming the show and had traffic held up...it was awesome...
That is the amazing story
Very cool story.
I live in upstate NY too. Arkport to be exact.
Wow! A grate job... Again. The new wheels give it a much better and more aggressive stance.
i'm normally not a fan of raised white letter tires on these die cast models, but they look great here and are absolutely period-correct (mid 70s).
My absolute favourite tv car. Thanks for showing it some love.
One word
AMAZING
David Starsky and Ken Hutchinson would be proud
Great work putting that decal on Danny. Thank God you sped it up because from when it started folding upon itself... I was holding my breath!
I am surprised that you didn't detail the lights and grill but hey, it's your car and you already made it 1000% better. Nice work.
I enjoy how you take the castings most people wouldn't try to restore because, they are so far gone. I am working on a couple of those myself. Cheers!!
Nice job! The paint and stripe look terrific. When I was in 4th grade we got a brand new '72 Gran Torino, green with a dark green vinyl roof. We flew into Detroit to pick it up and then went on a long road trip to our home in Texas. It was pretty plush for that day - electric windows, cruise control, a/c. My dad installed an 8-track player under the dash.
8 track .. classy 👍
My Mom bought a '72 brand new. Roman Red, white interior, formal top 302 under the hood. I was six. Sixteen years later I learned to drive in that car. But soon learned the frame had rotted beyond repair. To this day she's one of my three favorites I ever had. Losing her was like losing a family member.
Very nice fade from old to new. Brilliant result from all the work. Thanks.
Looks great. Excellent detailing. Thanks for sharing.
The stripe was applied perfectly! Awesome 👍
Stunning restoration job. Better looking than Corgi was able to make.
Don't know how I missed watching this one last year. Looks amazing with that white streak
Danny you are so amazing fixing cars the starky hutch car is so beautiful and amazing from keir
I would be proud of this restoration . It should be one of the gems of your collection
Great job Danny and one of my favorite shows from the 70's
Great restore for this Gran Torino
LOL...it's the "striped tomato!" Came out wonderfully. TY
Merde, j'avais exactement la même, quand j'étais petit...😢
Danny, you plunged me back, in a distant memory.
Far away, from my innocence.
Thanks for that.😭😭😭
Great classic series..
This is a wonderful restoration. I actually used to have the mini version and the larger one when I was a kid
Beautiful, very clean job....👍
Awesome paint, top to bottom and very cool decal. Windshield fix, light and wheels are fantastic. Imo, one of your best restos.
Those wheels are perfect for the the car.
Nice work Danny, decal worked out great.
Wow, you've outdone yourself with this one.
Wow - what a work of art Danny!
Whew!!
I held my breath the whole time you were putting on the decal.
I'm enjoying your restorations of famous tv show cars:)
Really good result well done!
THis car looks better than new the rims are great I had one of these and also the bigger corgi version
Looks really good amazing work danny
looks fantastic great bulid
Nice work Danny.... those stock rims were just plain nasty🤣
Danny, Once again above and beyond.
It looks great. That was a great idea using decals for the strip instead of painting it on Thanks for sharing this.
Love it! Great restoration!
Beautifully done the wheels really bring it out
Top job Danny, nice choice of replacement wheels! Every kid in the 70's was a fan of the show and had one of these in their toy collection myself included, I'm sure that few of them survived until today as they were made quite cheaply, nice to see this one survive long enough for a resto.
What a good job, surgeon's hand to stick those stickers, congratulations and greetings from Argentina.
You did a great job in restoring this iconic car.
just found one of these at thrift store. white decal missing glue still stuck firm ,but in amazing shape.
Muy lindo tu trabajo, felicidades
This is one of my favorite ones. :)
Top job, looks great now 👍👍
Corgi juniors. Starsky and hutch Ford. Gran. Torino. Like 👍
I seen The movie And when I saw this car I was happy .Starsky & Hutch was a good series to watch I really like the car itself This 1976 Ford Gran Torino lives another day to fight crime . Well done .
Whenever I see a Ford Gran Torino with that classic look I'd call it a Starsky & Hutch.
Danny, VERY nice job on the Torino. I really loved that body style and longed for one during my military days. On MY pay, I could not afFORD it ... Liked the wheel change and decals. I wish you had put in a red flashing LED to replace the missing item. It would have been a nice touch, but then it would NOT have been a restoration.
5 ☆'s !!
Looks great Danny!!!
Nice job bringing it back 👍👍😊
kool , thanx...nice work...now a real collector car
Robert

Awesome job Danny. Makes me want to do mine but not sure where or how to do the decals. 👍
Great restoration of the stripped tomato
You're a very convincing dragon. You should feel good about that. Nice work on the car btw
Liked the show and love the car beautiful ol ford grand tomato 😆😆
Great work the matchbox lights look much better than the original lights it came with, better chrome finish compared to the original too
Beautiful restoration. The car looks awesome.
Came out really sweet! Somewhere in my storage I have one that I remember buying new and how the stripe/sticker started coming off the second day I owned it. It's got a badly hand painted one that I did when I was 14 I think lol.
That's funny, the exact same thing happened to me and I remember using liquid paper to paint the stripe. LOL!
Holy sh.......it turned out super nice. i'm a fan. Got the car my self in 1/18 and 1/43.
Those plastic suspensions always broke especially on the range rover. nice resto 👍
my grandpa calls it the Starter & Clutch show 🤣😂😏
Ah, man that reminds me...my Dad used to call it "Carkeys and Clutch." Cheers dude!
Great job!
I saw the new wheels you brought out and I was like “do it” like ben stiller says in the movie 😆 great build!
Great job Danny love it
Great restoration as usual Danny! I guess I'll wait till later in the year to put my version on the restoration block LOL.
NICE DANNY LOVE THE BIG PHAT TIRES GAVE IT THAT OFF ROAD LOOK
Good job on the Zebra 3
Very snazzy little version of the car! Could use some red tail lights!
😀 The striped tomato!!!
As good as new.i like movie cars. Fun to collect as well as build
Awesome love the outcome... big LiKE :)
Very nice!
Nice repair and rebuild. Met the original cast at comic con. David Soul was very engaging and Paul was a bit reserved.
Ok man I think it's a good gob it looks like a new one from the factory 😉👍👍👍
Well done. It looks great. Awesome :-)
Very awesome work 🔥🤘🏻
Nice, ready to run
👍 bring back some memories of my childhood 😊 looks good but the beacon should be Blue if i remember right ...
Nice work Danny Brian Thailand
Really cool looking. 👍🏻
Catujira attacks! We recently picked up a Greenlight Gran Torino specifically _not_ in the S & H livery. Never saw the show, but lichen the car under the paint scheme...
Super la ford gean torino de l,époque jaime
Great restoration, Love that car!!!
Looks Great!
Great job as usual!
That is awesome 😎
Looks good. Ony reason i wacthed for the car chases. Great work
Starski and hutch the TV show I like d when I was a kid.
You should put a blinking led light on the roof that’s activated by pressing down on the rear of the car
Plenty of internal room and that blacked out windscreen would obscure unsightly components 👍
This is a brilliant resto...better than new! (Mine has always been a bag of shit...typical of that series, I guess. Still rolls, though.)
nice job! I might have covered over the light hole instead of replacing the light.
Nice job as always Danny. Good call on the decal, the black outline can't be done on a single decal without an ALPS printer, I've tried different techniques and clear coat procedures and they have all failed. However! If you do what you just did and then print out a separate black outline on clear decal paper that chokes in slightly on the white decal but also just slightly spreads on the outside of it as well, you can then apply the outline over top of the original white decal. It's as fussy as the day is long but it works so long as the project deserves the extra effort.
