I know we have a Photo gallery but as we have the new S&H Model Specific section I thought it would be great to have an official photo thread right in this section and will put a sticky so it remains at the top of the section and easy to find and view So come on all you S&H car owners post up some photos of your rides for all to see thanks

My S&H Tribute car is still a work in progress and it will be a clone of the seasons 2-4, except mine is a bucket seat console car. Here is what it will look like when completed....
 I'll have to take a few to show what she currently looks like....
HERE IS A SHOT I FOUND MY WIFE TOOK A COUPLE WEEKS AGO SHOWING HOW THE TOMATO CURRENTLY STANDS...
 See my project blog address below to follow along on my progress.
BIG thanks to Scott for making this thread for us S&H owners!!

I grew up watching S&H, so maybe that's why I like Torino's. A friend in high school actually had a '76 LE, so I've always thought they were cool. I've had different wheels over the years, but keep coming back to slots on my '73, probably because of the S&H cars. I went to a salvage yard auction in '03 and spotted this '76 in the line up. It had front frame damage from an impact with some different sheet metal hanging on the front. No drivetrain, but mostly complete with the interior full of parts. I was actually there to bid on a '59 Studebaker hardtop, but someone ended up wanting it more than me. I had checked the Torino out earlier and had to chuckle at an "expert" telling all that would listen that this wasn't a "real" LE, because it was a 351 car and "all" LE's were 460 powered like his brother-in-law's, friends, cousins car. Long story short, here's a couple pics on the truck headed to my garage.  I had the frame straightend, lined up all the panels, added a hood, some ET wheels and generally cleaned everything up for resale. It's a pretty solid car with no real rust issues, complete black interior with a nice dash and good glass. The build sheet under the seat has "Starsky and Hutch" on it, the correct DSO on the data sticker and the metal PS-122 tag under the hood, so there's no question it's one of the 1000 LE's built by Ford. Here's a couple pics of it ready to sell.   The timing couldn't have been better, as the S&H movie came out that Winter of '04. I listed the car on E-Bay in March of that year with some very good results. Here comes the cool part.....the winner was none other than "Movie" Mike Walsh! For those who might not know who that is, he built the "Hero" cars for the S&H movie. We talked on the phone a bit and I asked him why he wanted my car now that the movie was done? He told me that with the popularity of his hero cars, he wanted a "real" one for himself. I'm not really sure if he ever did anything with it or not, but that's my little piece of S&H history. Here's a pic of it loaded up and headed for California. I'll let you know if I stumble onto another one......   ------------- Scott -'73 Gran Torino Brougham Past Torino's -'73 Q-code GTS, '76 Original PS-122 S&H, '73 H-code GTS, '73 Ranchero '71 Cobra 351 Auto, '70 351C Brougham 2dr HT, '71 351C Ranchero |

| yowser... thats not much money at all.. the ones I see on ebay nowadays are way more than that.. in fact some dude has a LE on right now that aint all that.. opening bid 25k... some people are crazy.. not to say the cars aint worth it but they should be mint for that money. I have invested a huge amount in mine but its what I want and a million bucks couldnt replace it to me. |

The LE indicates the actual Ford S&H models they made at the factory. Limited Edition, only 1,000 of them made with true FACTORY numbers. MANY dealers would paint the stripe and make clones that people could say I bought an S&H from the factory but in reality there are only 1000 REAL S&H LE FACTORY cars. The factory actually painted the white stripe on the car first and then masked it off and then painted the car Red (2B?) that way the red did not bleed through the white stripe. I am in no way an expert on the S&H but I do understand there were multiple "STYLES" of stripes depicted on the show over the years but ONLY 1 style form the factory! ------------- Carl Corey (Moderator/Event Coordinator) Contact ANYTIME! 1976 Ford Elite "Lola Mae" 97 Suzuki Intruder 1400 US Army Retired |

Maybe Carl or Jeff could go back into the archives and find Ralphs (Starsky76) built thread and repost it here in this section. That was a few years ago but it was one of the original 1000 cars.
After Ralph sold it I wonder what happened to the car? Anyone know?

yah, one of the reason's why I use photobucket is because o my digital camera takes large photo's and is too big to just upload and everything has to be resized which is a pain. I choose the size I want the photo's to be before uploading to my album and when I post them they are at a decent size but not extremely huge.It's a PIA to load them all on the computer then take each photo and resize and save that so now I have copies of 2 sizes on the computer which takes up more memory and often just hook up my card reader to my computer and upload them to my album's and photobucket does all the work for me.

| really like the black interior with the red stripe. Many years ago a freind of mine and I bought a 74 Gran Torino sport out of a corn field for $300. It had a mint rally style interior (just like the one in your car) desent running 400/C6 and a TOTALLY rotted frame and under body. He drove the car for work for about 2 months before the frame issues started showing there ugly head. without telling me he just junked the car and never gave me a chance to remove the interior. You have an awesome car there take care Dan |

Actually, as far as the '76 LEs are concerned, there were a total of 1103 units made:
2 "pilot production" cars (used to test the assembly line process and have a product to inspect afterwards)
1 promotional car (used for the Chicago Auto Show)
1,000 units for US sale
100 units for Canadian sale
All LE units were made in Lorain, Ohio (I think), although the actual cars used in ther TV show came from Chicago (I think) ------------- "I'm too old to grow up now!" |

Hi there, I'm new to the forum. Just thought I'd post a couple photos of my 76 Gran Torino PS122 S&H replica. I just bought her in Michigan a couple months ago. This is my dream car, the only classic I've ever wanted. And I love her!! One question, though.....I have the original build sheet. Is there a way to determine what number (out of the 1000 made by Ford) my car is? Any help is appreciated.

The "edition number" I've heard is marked on the underside of the hood... you need to remove the insulation blanket to see it. I never had the insulation off my SE to confirm, but I remember seeing it posted here on the forum in someone's build thread.<EDIT: FOUND IT! ABOUT HALF WAY DOWN PAGE> http://forum.grantorinosport.org/zebra-3-in-rehab_topic1904_page2.html" rel="nofollow - http://forum.grantorinosport.org/zebra-3-in-rehab_topic1904_page2.html Be interested to hear if you find yours there as well... GOOD LUCK!

Thanks for the tip, Joe. But unfortunately, the underside of the hood has been painted over. You would think that the LE # would be on the order sheet or the VIN plate, but I guess not. Maybe it didn't matter that much in those days. Here's another photo of her in the garage, anxiously awaiting warmer weather!  ------------- 1976 Gran Torino "Charlotte" (S&H Replica) |

This showed up in My Verizon memories from 7 years ago. I told my wife that I was going Christmas shopping. After I got a few last minute gifts, I ended up installing a new Holley 600. When I got home, I smelled like "the shop". She saw the bag of gifts and laughed. It was a good Christmas.------------- Steve M. |

That looks awesome. The engineering mind in my head is trying to figure out how to fit a 5 speed automatic into an FMX case. My car has metal flake in the slightly darker red. So, my thoughts are to add the stripe with metal flake in the white. Then separate the two with a 1/4" black stripe. I'm thinking using the 2nd through 4th season or the movie stripe. In one episode, Starsky said his car is candy apple red. Mine is close. ------------- Steve M. |

Loving this thread. This car is one of my favorite tv show cars along with the Ferrari Testarossa in Miami Vice and the General Lee Dodge Charger in The Dukes of Hazard. Saw the S&H car at a Hollywood car event.

She's By no means in the best of shape. This one's a Canadian Car after all, and 46 Winters will certainly add some... character... Especially since she spent a portion of her life in the frozen winters of Quebec Haha... But Slowly I'm getting her back into shape. Planning some bodywork soon and should hopefully have the holes in the floor gone soon ;) It's a 76 Torino, what more is there to say...
