But be sure to take a look at the last couple of photos at the bottom of the page. Not only did they leave the opera windows as is, they installed a new full length white vinyl roof!

RUINED I'd bet if you asked the guy why he'd do such a thing to a landmark car and paint job combo like a Starsky & Hutch Torino, he'd ask "Starsky & who?".

That is just one of the weirdest looking concoction I have seen. WHY would they put a vinyl roof over a S&H paint job?? Not digging the interior but hey it is nice and alot of worksmanship went in to it, to each their own. ------------- Carl Corey (Moderator/Event Coordinator) Contact ANYTIME! 1976 Ford Elite "Lola Mae" 97 Suzuki Intruder 1400 US Army Retired |

WTF?????????????? Paint over the rest of the white stripe with red and it wouldn't be half bad car for less than $10,000.00 though.

I'm surprised that they didn't go for a two tone vinyl top to keep the Starsky look, but "keeping it klassy"  |
