Terry C.'s 1974 Gran Torino® |

| This is a very unique situation - Terry C. just purchased
a S&H Torino from his good friend, Wally. The only photos I have as of now are these that Wally submitted when
he owned Terry's car AND another one, which he still owns. Terry now owns the car on the right. That's Wally in
the photo. Before he sold it to Terry, Wally bought the car from Steve Casteel in Spokane, Washington in October of 2010. He found Steve on eBay and had just missed the auction for the 25th "Starsky" Torino he made. So Wally asked Steve to make #26 for him. Wally said, "I call her '26.' Its interior and exterior are absolutely beautiful, and was painted with the original Ford Bright Red 2B paint. I bought bucket seats from a Cougar on eBay and had them shipped to Steve for installation. This car features the old rim-blow horn and the original AM radio. The engine is a 351 Cleveland." |

| "When you get inside," Wally said, "it has that 'vintage car' smell. So when I sit in the driver's seat, I make sure to inhale deeply! I LOVE that smell! I had lots of stuff under the hood replaced when I got it. I got a new carb, temperature sensor, steering coupler, ignition coil, solenoid, battery tray, turn signal, horn, a complete gas tank acid washout, and lots more. Steve was kind enough to dual the exhaust before he sent her my way. She's been worked on by the world famous Bodie Stroud from BS Industries. He's done hot rods for everyone from Johnny Depp to Tim Allen." | ||||||

| After this photo shoot, Wally and his friend James drove both Torinos in tandem down Riverside Drive for lunch at Bob's Big Boy in Toluca Lake. He says, "You should have seen the looks we got as both of these beauties drove down the street, one after the other!" | ||||||
