I'd forgotten that Ford did the Starsky and Hutch stripe on non-red Torinos.

Now all we need is an action shot of it tailsliding out of an alleyway, crashing through some conveniently placed cardboard boxes.

that grille looks different from all the other ones I've seen, they all usually have the starsky and hutch style grille. did ford have 2 different grilles for this year?

^ On the right track, but they had different Torinos. The S&H cars were Gran Torino Sports. This is a base '74 Torino.

Those rims are killer & it's great to see one that isn't Red.

This stripe would have been added later. The official S&H cars sold by Ford were only red and only in '76. I do remember seeing many non-red Torinos with the stripe added back in the day. It might have even been a dealer add-on....they would do anything. But when this car was built in '74, the S&H series was not yet out.

Odd to see one that isn't red
