Johnny Lightning Starsky And Hutch 1975 Ford Gran Torino Die Cast Car Appraisal

Johnny Lightning 'Starsky & Hutch' 1975 Ford Gran Torino Die-Cast Car

This item is a Johnny Lightning 'Hollywood on Wheels' series die-cast replica of the iconic red and white 1975 Ford Gran Torino used in the television show 'Starsky & Hutch'. The vehicle is presented in its original sealed blister packaging, suggesting it is in mint condition, never opened. The card itself is predominantly blue and orange with a purple top banner featuring the 'Johnny Lightning' logo in yellow lightning bolt script. The 'Hollywood On Wheels' title is prominently displayed on a marquee-style graphic. The packaging describes the product as 'Authentic Replicas of Famous TV and Movie Vehicles' with 'Die-Cast Metal Body AND Chassis' and includes a 'BONUS ShowCard'. The car itself is a detailed miniature, approximately 1:64 scale, featuring the distinctive red body with a white stripe along its sides and roof. All visible wheels appear intact and true to scale. The packaging also notes it's from the 'REAL WHEELS SERIES' and includes a 'WARNING: CHOKING HAZARD - small parts, Not for children under 3 years'. The backing card features a graphic of a vintage television screen with 'STARSKY & HUTCH' visible, implying the included ShowCard would be related to the show. The overall presentation is consistent with collector-grade licensed merchandise from the estimated 1990s to early 2000s, a period when Johnny Lightning produced many such TV/movie replica vehicles. The quality of the die-cast appears to be high, with good paint application and detailing typical of Johnny Lightning products.
