| When the usual suspects gathered at the Carlisle, PA
All-Ford Nationals in June of 2011, we were surprised to see someone new show up completely unannounced. Judy and
her family joined us and immediately became a part of the extended S&H Torino family. Judy's Gran Torino is a 1974 with a 351 Cleveland engine. Her husband, Ed, has started to do some work on it for her. It has a new 4-barrel carb, new air cleaner, and a new fuel filter. Ed has also just replaced the tie rods, ball joints, and put on new rear shocks. The car has headers and factory air conditioning. |

| Judy's family has always been known for owning classic cars. Judy has had Mustangs in the past, but she has always wanted a Starsky Torino. S&H has been her favorite show and she is a die-hard fan. Her husband, Ed, bought this Torino for her as a Christmas present in 2010. Her daughter, Lisa, says "It was a lot of fun because we all surprised her with it on Christmas Day! She had no idea she was going to get it, and I've never seen her happier! She was beside herself with emotion and it was so nice to see her get the one thing she's always wanted." | ||||||

| Judy's husband found the car on eBay and one other guy was bidding against him for the car. The car's seller, in Nashville, actually emailed Ed and said he hoped that Ed would win the auction because the other guy bidding on it was just going to park it outside of his pizza place for advertising. The seller wanted the car to be part of Judy's family because he knew she would drive it, appreciate it, and have fun with it. All of those desires have been fulfilled. Judy has a good time driving the Torino and is proud to represent the Starsky and Hutch family! | ||||||
