One of our customers at CARQUEST is building a new Rat Rod.Check it out. It has a PINTO engine. Half of you CCFans might not know even what a Ford Pinto is!

Pinto, the perfect car for your ex-wife. If hit the right way all your prayers will be answered. Also they shared the same beloved front end as the Mustang II. I secretly want a grabber Maverick.

The Pacer is the car for me... Good vision
I too had a Pinto. I read that the reason for the fires from rearend collisions was from the exhaust U-Bolt piercing the fuel tank. So I modified the exhaust to remove the U-Bolt. Drove it for a few years with no issues. |

We love them in euro land from that we got this
You just don't mess with a Cosworth Ford never know how big the turbo is there running, over 500hp is not uncommon from the 4 pot. Some of the old Ford cars with them in are now cheep as chips here. |

I thought the Corvair topped the list of the safest car on the road.

I had a 1973 Pinto. White with a light blue Starsky and Hutch stripe on it. It would crack mid 12's.
Tube frame, full cage, 4 speed, 9" rear. Mean 302 in it. I traded a old Chris Craft to get it. We couldn't get $700 for the boat for years. Sold the Pinto after a loud and scary summer for $2300. |
