Description
The Ford Torino Presentation A family car with a plain look, the Ford Torino was a great success in its saloon and estate versions, but was also offered in a 2-door version with very powerful engines, making it a real Muscle Car. The 1976 Torino Available in coupé, saloon and estate versions with the Torino, Gran Torino and Gran Torino Brougham trim levels, 193, 000 units of the 1976 model were sold. Ford offered 5 different engines, ranging from the 5. 8-litre V8 to the 7. 5-litre V8, with power outputs ranging from 140 to 240 bhp. The gearbox was either a 3 or 4-speed manual or a 3-speed automatic. The Gran Torino The choice of the Gran Torino Originally, series creator William Blinn planned to have the character of Starsky drive a Chevrolet Camaro convertible, a car he himself had owned and particularly liked. However, the lease agreement between the Spelling-Goldberg production company and the Ford Motor Company obliged him to opt for a Ford vehicle. The choice fell on 2 red 1975 Gran Torino Coupes powered by a 5. 8-litre Windsor V8 engine developing 140 bhp. These two cars both appeared in the pilot episode of Starsky & Hutch, and this one is in French and has a collector's registration. The odometer shows 57500 MILES. This car was originally painted in GOLD and has been repainted in the red colour of the series. The roof has some cracks and will need to be repainted, along with the 2 rear wings, to ensure that it is in good condition. Mechanically, the vehicle has been made more reliable by rebuilding the gearbox, radiator, braking system, power steering pump, steering box, engine temperature sensor, ignition coil and box, wheel cylinders and tyres. Invoices for this work are available, as well as an appraisal.
