I had a stock 1971 pinto in the mid 1980s which had the 2000cc engine and 4 speed and I found it kind of fun to drive! One of the few cars back then that had rack and pinion steering and 102hp got the super light car around well. My other 'fun' car was a 65 Mustang with 351C engine with 4 speed. Fun but only averaged 8mpg. The Pinto got me 25-30mpg.

Wow! Boy! That was definitely "A mouse that ROARS". A stick no less!!! My fave was I think an older race vs a red 67 or 68 Camero. You guys had the old skool "dry hop" stage, I just loved it! Your car just screams FUN!! Thanks very much! \m/

I love how unbelievably violent the thing is. I've got a nitrous/302/G-Force T5 combination in a '72 Pinto, and it's no end of fun on the streets of Mexico...

Nice car. I have a 79 with 351w, t5, 9" w/4.30/detroit, 4link, 31.18.50MT/pro. It is under construction but drives. Needs the doors, glass, and paint to finish. New to the 4link setup and hope to get mine working as well as yours. Good job on your car.

I'm a Ford and a Pinto guy so don't get me wrong. But sooner or later there is always a Camaro. In every class of racing I've watch or done. I learned to hate Cameros so much the respect it caused became great. I even got to crew a good Camaro American Sedan road racer for a few years. Damn Camaro was pretty quick.
@peterkay24064 жыл бұрын
No hate, you can do whatever you want, I am A SERIOUS ford guy also and I used to race a lot and had several run ins with camaros and I've waxed some and many waxed me, but you know what, I'll always love the 69 camaro, I would still buy one today if I could.
@duster00664 жыл бұрын
@@peterkay2406 I'd never do a Camaro without choosing a Ford motor for it. And to be fair the car to beat in that road race series was a Fox body Mustang. That Mustang was a national title contender during that time. lol But I'd do a gen 3 Vette all day long.
