This is weak compared to the sixties boats that were being made in your day. When I was a kid this is what we were riding in with Mom driving, at least when I was a teenager jonesing for my license. I wanted the real barges from the sixties, the real steel. No emissions, air pumps, big stupid bumpers, had big loud V8's. When I was in high school, I was uncool because I still liked the big old boats. Everybody else liked cars like this (and Gremlins and pintos, as long as they were jacked up with cheap mags and 60 series tires).

the technical term of the paint job you refer to so cavlierly as 'Starsky & Hutch' is (write this down, there WILL be a test) Striped Tomato. If you're in LA, you can take your car and have it done by Merle the Pearl, the Customizing Earl. Just don't leave Hutch's LTD there...

I may be old but dammit I was in high school in the 60s and it was drugs and music and cars and gas a quarter a gallon, smokes a quarter a pack, the birth control pill was on the market and any STD could be cured with penicillin. "Carbon Footprint" would have been the name of a band, man.
OK, I'll just slouch on down to the tarpit, dinosaur that I am.

]]> <![CDATA[Definitely Not Jeffrey Lebowski's Torino: Welcome To Chile!]]> Lived in Santiago myself from 90-92 and sold my 90 Firebird Formula there, bright red, T-Top, got to be the only one in South America. I remember poking around looking at old cars there and found a 67 GTO, hood scoop, his/hers and all but it was not marked a GTO, it was called a "400". Strange. Anyway, a great place, best looking women in the world and keep an eye out for my Formula!

]]> <![CDATA[Definitely Not Jeffrey Lebowski's Torino: Welcome To Chile!]]> That looks like the 1976 Gran Torino my dad used to own... only the one we had was red (like Starsky and Hutch, only without the stripe and a couple of extra doors), was a 4 door and had the vinyl front bench seat instead of the upgraded seats this car has.

I remember it was really exciting when we got it as it was our first car that was kind of sporty looking, had AC, power windows and power steering. But it still had an AM radio unfortunately.

In hindsight though, the car wasn't that great. It rusted quicker than average, the window dropped down into the door while on vacation, gas gauge broke, the heater and AC always had issues, gas mileage sucked, a tie rod broke while on the highway (no accident luckily) and the brakes had problems... and that's just the stuff I knew my dad had to get fixed. I'm sure there was other stuff.
