This is a replica/tribute car made famous by the TV series "Starsky and Hutch", that great 1970's police drama made famous by its weekly appearance. #11 on "Edmund's 100 Most Popular TV and Movie Cars Ever",
this replica is a one of a kind. It has been professionally restored down to every nut and bolt, every Chrome part re-plated for that final show car / OEM look. This Thirty-one thousand original mile car is from California, a rust free purchased in July of 2013 from a A little old Lady which was Modesto and not Pasadena. It has been completely disassembled, repainted, and painstakingly restored using the most current technique--such as soda blasting the trunk and floor pans underneath the entire and frame. Painted back to the original design, if not better than it was done from the factory. We didn't find necessary to soda blast the entire car because it was is such good shape to start with . The frame was completely disassembled, blasted and then powder coated Including all parts like , inner, fenders skirts, core support motor pulls and brackets and to many to list .
All suspension parts were replaced down to inner and outer tie rods, bushings , ball joints, drive shaft joints, brakes and rear axle were disassembled and all bearings replaced. Then the rear axle was powder coated. The entire interior was replaced new and the list goes on and on. As for the wheels they are appliance brand which was used on the original "Starsky and Hutch" car. Even the tires are period authentic Goodyear bias ply.
The paint job and stripe are identical styling to the one on the 1976 car as seen on season three and four except one detail, the color is Viper red and not 2B as it came from Ford-- this mean The color is More red but to the naked eye cant be detected .
Thousands of dollars of NOS " New Old Stock " Ford parts we sought after and installed to make this as accurate a restoration as anyone could possibly do . The motor was not touched because of the low mileage and already ran so well, why mess with a good thing, but the Transmission has been rebuilt and shift kit was installed along with new original Style Stainless Exhaust, polished from the axel back to bumpers to a brilliant chrome type look . Everything that was possible to make this one make this the most amazing example of a Top Flight or Concourse type Restoration. And might be considered museum quality but for sure a true Show Car !
The stripes are clear coated to the point where you can't even feel them and the paint is Buffed to mirror shine. Last but not least all, moldings have been refurbished, polished and painted where and how they came from the factory to the highest quality possible. No Money $$$ was spared in this restoration and here you have the opportunity of a lifetime to Bid or buy the most one of the most iconic cars ever, as well as an amazing restored car anyone would be envious of.

Formula One World Champions Nelson Piquet and Nigel Mansell haven't been on good terms since the 1986 season, when Piquet joined Mansell at the Williams team and Piquet spent the year privately fuming about not being granted the status of number one driver. Things only got worse from there - even though Piquet won the title the following year with Williams, still partnered with Mansell, the fuming was a lot less private.
They're back together after a 25-year silence, in the city of Porto Alegre, Brazil to drive the new Ford Fusion. Called "Fusion Grand Prix," both men get the new Ford sedan, prepped to their liking - but still street legal, we assume - for a race to decide... well, who is faster behind the wheel of a Fusion.
There will be four episodes, with the first two having already aired. The third episode comes on January 29 and the race happens February 5. You'll find two video episodes and a press release below, but note - because it's a campaign for Ford Brazil, Piquet's dialogue in the vids isn't translated, so hit the Closed Captioning button to hear his side of the smack talking.

Ford has a bit of a history in reviving the names of old coachbuilders it has long since gobbled up and using them to distinguish its top-of-the-line models in Europe. That's what it did for years with Ghia, and after having replaced it several years ago with the Titanium trim level, now it's doing it again with Vignale.
At the Frankfurt Motor Show last year, Ford revealed the Mondeo Vignale concept in both sedan and wagon body-styles, which are set to reach production next year. But before they do, the Blue Oval automaker is at it again, applying similar upgrades to the S-Max minivan and unveiling it in concept form in Milan this week.
Setting the Vignale concept apart from any other S-Max is its Milano Grigio rose-hued silver pearlescent paint, 21-inch alloys, chrome trim and hexagonal-pattern grille. Inside it's all ultra-soft quilted leather and aluminum trim, with tablet docking stations in the back and thinner, more flexible seats than the existing production version.

Seven-figure Ferraris are not horribly rare. Heck, an eight-figure Ferrari isn't a rare occurrence. Between modern masterpieces like the Enzo and more classic offerings, cracking the million-dollar mark isn't a particularly tall order for the cars from Maranello. For a Ford, though, it's a big deal.
Now, this is not just some rare Mustang. This is a GT40, the car that Henry Ford II commissioned to whip Enzo Ferrari around a track in France. As far as the Le Mans-winning racers go, they don't get much rarer than this one. Sold at the Mecum Auctions in Houston, this is one of the prototypes, meaning it's one of the very first GT40s ever built. That makes its $7 million winning a bid, a record for on-air coverage of the auction, a pretty darn impressive figure.
You can watch the auction below, but first, take a look back at our original story on this rare Blue Oval.
