E' impossibile, dal momento che le S&H Factory Replicas furono costruite sul MY 76

Nel medesimo sito si nota un articolo di Doug Stevenson dove appare il bench seat integralmente nero in una vettura originale della produzione televisiva. Nell'altra vettura originale della produzione tv, sempre in possesso di Doug Stevenson, furono installati i bucket seats (interamente neri pure quelli) per evitare che nelle riprese televisive David Soul finisse in braccio a Glaser mentre prendeva le curve a manetta..

Notare che il corretto badge sul fuel filler door per il 76 ? orizzontale e non tondo come sulla vettura in vendita ad Udine.



Le Factory Replicas avevano il bench seat e non i buckle con console....integralmente neri o bianchi. Nulla vietava comunque di ordinare lo sports equipment package.



(comunicato Ford):

"February 9, 1976

A production version of the flashy red Ford Gran Torino used by television detectives Starsky and Hutch as a chase car in the popular Wednesday night television series is going to be offered by U.S. Ford dealers.



"The Starsky/Hutch vehicle has that performance car look, and it's exciting a lot of young people," said Douglas T. McClure, Ford Division merchandising manager. "We're delighted that we can make the car available to the general public, even on a limited production basis. It's a colorful addition to our dealerships' showrooms, and a lot of youths are going to have a lot of fun owning and driving it."



The Starsky/Hutch Gran Torino is a bright red two-door hardtop with a white vector paint stripe on each side. A 351 CID V-8 engine is standard with the special production model. Dual racing mirrors and a deluxe bumper group are required as optional equipment.



Ford will produce only about 1,000 of the special versions of the mid- sized car. All of them will be built at Ford's Chicago (Ill.) Assembly Plant. Orders are being accepted now at Ford dealerships. Production begins in March.



The Starsky/Hutch car will be one of Ford Division's spotlight vehicles at the Chicago Auto Show, February 20-29. The division also will display it's new customized vans and many of its regular production cars and trucks at the auto show."



@mods: siccome gli interventi sono stati fatti in modo circostanziato e frutto di ricerche (non vedo cosa ci sia di ridicolo), chiederei a giudizio dei moderatori di spostarli tutti in apposito topic per non inquinare questo di Marcoperm.
