Cooter and Hutch
It appears Starsky's Red Gran Torino made a one time appearance on The Dukes of Hazzard show. The theory is the Ford ended up in Hazzard as a joke, ha. Anyway, I found the below snippet on Wikipedia. If you have another theory, let us know.
During the last season of Starsky and Hutch, The Dukes of Hazzard premiered on CBS, and one of the factory replicas was used in the first episode, "One Armed Bandits", seen to be driven by regular character Cooter Davenport (Ben Jones). This was the only appearance of the Torino in the series, and many fans have speculated over its strange one-off appearance. One theory is that it was merely an in-joke, with the Torino's former iconic car status now being taken over by the Dukes' car "The General Lee".
