Starsky & Hutch Fanfiction Story - One Last Moment
This short story is from the episode "Sweet Revenge"
My Zebra3 Car Project
April 2008 - I got this 'beauty' off of eBay for $430. It was a good bargain at the time, but I would soon learn it would've been better to have paid $3,000 more and not gone through all the headaches that came later on. Anyway, it's a 1975 Gran Torino Sport and came with no motor but a transmission. I wasn't aware that the roof was in bad shape and the inside trunk lid channel was rusted, but the rest of the car was in pretty decent shape.
After sitting at the mechanic's for a while, the car was moved to the body shop. Here, the front end has been dismantled so the frame and firewall can be painted. Once this was done, it went back to the mechanic's so he could install the 400 2-barrel engine that I bought from a friend of the seller's for $250. It would turn out that was a very costly mistake as the engine turned out no good and I had to pay for it to be taken out and a another, rebuilt one to be installed. One good thing, the rebuilt motor that we got from the junkyard had been very recently rebuilt. So, at least that worked out in my favor.
