That was a cool clip. I never really watched the show but then I was too busy to watch much TV at all in those days. Mr.T is really an awesome individual. He spends his time these days on humanitarian issues, especially with those that help kids. I didn't care much for the stripe on the car but it was still waycool to watch.

They just flog those tv cars. Remember Scarecrow and Mrs. King? Bruce Boxleitner and Kate Jackson, started out with a little silver 356 Cabriolet and ended with a silver early C4.

Or the Gran Turismo from Starsky and Hutch. Now there's a car that could make a stripe work.

I remember reading somewhere that the 'Vette in A-team was a rental, the show would rent the car when an episode called for it and the show would put the graphics on the car. When they returned the car they took the graphic off. They did this each time the car was rented. We do a lot of graphics at work, a good sticker man could put that decal on in 20 minutes.
Very cool clip!!!

While the Torino wasn't a terribly exciting car in the 70s, starting in '72 Ford actually put a frame under it, making it a much better car than the sh!tbox unibody versions that were made before that. I had a '76 Torino wagon that I drove forever as a DD. It had an earlier 351 Cleveland for power. I pulled a '73 Torino dirt track stock car all over hell with it for several years during my oval racing heyday.

On another note, I remember a couple of years ago when a guy was trolling these forums claiming to be Dirk Benedict / "Face". You can find some very very odd people out here in cyberspace...
Great clip, Thanks for sharing!
