E-i-e-i-o!!! Reply #2 – November 14, 2006, 07:00:15 PM That price is likely 100 times more than what that car would be worth. Seriously. A mint mid 70's Montego couldn't be worth more than $8200.Starsky and Hutch? They drove a Torino, not a Montego. I could see the value of that car being double the "normal" value (as in, around $16k) IF the car actually had something to do with the show, but "being painted and optioned like" and "being authentic" are two different animals.Four-bolt-main 460: Did they even make such a thing? If Ford even did make a 4-bolt 460 it surely wouldn't be a mid 70's 150-horse smog engine...Bench seat and AM radio: just like a million others, I'd bet. Certainly nothing special. And sure not $820k special... Quote Selected
E-i-e-i-o!!! Reply #3 – November 14, 2006, 07:05:22 PM I don't even think an actual Starsky & Hutch car, I'm talking actually used in a show, IF one even still exists is worth that much. Quote Selected

E-i-e-i-o!!! Reply #5 – November 14, 2006, 11:13:38 PM There was a "real" S&H edition of the car. Not many were made but they are out there. Just not for a merc. The ones I heard of were Torino's Quote Selected

E-i-e-i-o!!! Reply #7 – November 14, 2006, 11:31:19 PM Couple years ago I bought a 76 Torino for $50. pulled the engine and tranny, and sped the rest. Kinda wish I had the car now....could be worth $150,000. Quote Selected
E-i-e-i-o!!! Reply #8 – November 15, 2006, 12:09:53 AM I remember seeing the S&H cars running around when I was a kid back in the 70's.I always wanted one. Quote Selected
E-i-e-i-o!!! Reply #9 – November 15, 2006, 06:54:42 AM Thing is, the S&H cars were Torinos. This one is a Merc. Montego from the factory. Only two of them built. In that condition with the low miles on it, you could ask ANY price. Quote Selected
E-i-e-i-o!!! Reply #10 – November 15, 2006, 09:12:30 AM Yes, you could ask any price. Whether you'll get it is another story entirely... Quote Selected

You nail together two things that have never been nailed together before and some dumb schmuck will pay a fortune for it.Captiolism at it's finest...Well first off I'm 99.9% it's not a REAL S&H car. As already pointed out they were Torinos, but there is much more to the story than that. I'm(OK was) a member of the FCA(Fairlane Club of America) so quite a bit of info has been researched on the S&H models... NEVER has a Montego been mentioned. Possibly the dealer pulled some strings and got Ford's Lorain Assembly Plant to paint a couple like S&Hs(paint code is blank, its 2B on the Torinos)... But paint doesn't make them real in the sense of being part of the original Torino S&Hs. All the REAL S&Hs have a six digit DSO that includes 0022 after the first two digits... The Real cars were '76 Grand Torino's(not Broughams or std Torinos), assembled a the Chicago Plant, and were limited to 1000 copies(there are many clones)... 351's were std, but the 400 or 460 could be ordered...

E-i-e-i-o!!! Reply #14 – November 15, 2006, 11:10:54 AM Oh, that's it. I want at least $1.3 million for mine then. It's one of ZERO baby!! All non-dospoogeentation included. Seller will deliver on pickup only. No warranty isn't not included via mail.Sheesh...ya think this dude can be a little more convoluted? If a Ford is going to have an $800K starting price tag, it had better come with the Blonde BJ option. And Vaseline. And at least a case of beer. Quote Selected
