STARSKY & HUTCH 5 Inch 1974 FORD GRAN TORINO & FIGURES


Introduced as a TV movie in April 1975, Starsky & Hutch immediately entered the annals of TV history as the first high profile cop show to shatter the mould of solo detectives with polar opposite characters and a penchant for guns, girls and squealing tires. it was the latter of these elements which introduced the bond of this successful partnership, Starsky's traffic troubling 1974 Ford Torino. Customized with a lightning flash of a go faster stripe, the $4,461 Gran Torino was one of only 1177 built for the US market. The show eventually ended in 1979 but the revival continues to this day.
