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. ------------- http://correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=3721&sort=&pagenum=6&yrstart=1982&yrend=1982" rel="nofollow - My Blue 82 SOLD! |

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. ------------- 1980 Ski Nautique 1966 Barracuda |

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. ------------- http://www.correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=1868&sort=&pagenum=1 - 62 Classic http://www.correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=5242&sort=&pagenum=1 - 2002 Super Air |
