I've seen you cruising through Irvine in this car for many years. It was neat to finally see it up close at Cars and Coffee a few months ago. I look forward to seeing it again. Did you also have a pro street Ford Courier at one time?
does anybody agree that a camaro is basically chevys rip off of a mustang? if you agree press yes, if not press no, thumbs up for yes, thumbs down for no
@MegaGuitarification the camaro didnt really rip off the mustang, if you want to see a complete ripoff look up the celica fastback even though i think the celica looks better.
Pintos and Vegas are ideal for hopping up with their low weight . Ill bet you have at least 600 rwhp with yous and id love to see it run in the quarter.
HEY IM NOT A PINTO FAN BUT IT LOOKS PRETTY GOOD ...LOOKS LIKE A LOT OF COATS OF URETHANE ..... AND IM SURE THE REST OF THE HATERS THINK SO BUT THEY ARE TO COOL TO ADMIT IT ....
you need to make a longer video, that thing is sweet! My parents had a pinto back in 1971. My dream car was a pinto station wagon I ended up with a 1976 Cobra II as my first car
I think the car scene is a little dead now. The pro street cars of the 80's n 90's may have been too much show but they were imaginative.Move front drivers should be rear drive converted.
sweeeeet. i had a pinto and people used to laugh at me. i need to borrow yours to get back at them. looks like a evil pissed off pinto. i was thinking about building one again and i was surprised at how much people want for them now.
It's never been through the 1/4 mile. Computers say it will turn in the mid 10's. As long as I can get in it and nail it once in a while I'll be happy. I was a chevy 350 - 396 guy all my life and I'll tell ya straight up. The 351 4v Cleveland is an ass kicking engine.
Yea, us Maverick guys have to live with explaining to people over and over that our cars have basically nothing in common with Pinto's except the tail lights (which I have Bobcat tail lights on mine to try to avoid confusion). Mavericks were based on the Falcon chassis. Completely different then the Pinto. Then the next guy walks up and goes "Nice Nova!". Damn it! lol
I think the flames at the front are very fitting for a car with such an incendiary reputation.

@71fordpinto i would suggest using a 351 windsor instead of the cleveland
it runs a hell of a lot cooler then the 351 cleveland and you can get just as much or more power from it
