The Camaro Club (UK)

I watched a special feature on one of my S&H DVD's with the writer William Blinn discussing how he'd had a green with white stripes Camaro, and wanted to recreate the car for Starsky to drive in his new TV prgram Starsky & Hutch, however, they had a transport deal with Ford, so they gave him a Torino with the now famous stripe.....

Steven, you never fail to amaze me with your snippets of unknown trivia like that. I wonder why they chose to paint the stripe on the Torino that way, as it conflicts with the lines of the car. I can still remember seeing Mk3 Cortinas & Hillman Avengers painted up like that aaaargh!! cheers...Nige

my Dad has a Mk2 Cortina taxi, red, with starsky stripe, he even got teh PMG Perm!!!! (and he STILL wears the aviator glasses)

Its his fault I'm obsessed with the car now.....

The transport guys jsut decided to do a "custom" paint job, and how it worked! It might not be to all tastes, but it turned a mid sized shopping car into the hottest thing on TV!
