Looks pretty solid from the photos, but we all know how pics can lie(or obscure).

I really couldn't say if it is worth the asking price or not without physically inspecting it.

The engine compartment LOOKS clean...but how many leaks could have been power-washed away?

The headers look solid, but how rusted are they under a fresh coat of Satin Black?

Interior looks clean enough, but is that a flattened-out can of Folger's covering the gi-normous rust hole in the floor?

Does that C4 have clean fluid, or is it battleship gray?

Are the tires dry-rotted or have belts separated?

Questions galore.... ;D

Re: CraigsList Pick of the Week: V8 Pinto

Didn't Magnante have a Pinto while he was out there?

Yeah, Pintos make me think of the Glidden machines, too. I love it! I have a pic somewhere in my files of him lined up with a Grumpy Vega, and it looks just perfect.

Hmm... Someone needs to start a Nostalgia Pro Stock event. Rock hard M&Hs and all.

If that car was located in North Texas I'd be visiting the owner tomorrow.

Fly in, drive out! Burbank airport is easy and close to the car.

Thanks for signing up with us.

Ah ... V8 Pintos. Still love the 76 wagon that my older brother had for a while through the late 70s to mid 80s. Clean low-mile V6 car from our grandfather, which was treated to a Marvin Miller nitrous kit. Once the 2.8 expired, it was time for a V8. Initially a mild 302, then a nice solid cam 11:1 289 that loved 7,500 rpm. With nitrous of course. ;D


cheers

I hear that! Got a nice 408 Windsor sitting in my garage that would do that car justice...

I really like your avatar! I have one of those small SOHC model engines at home. Imagine shoehorning that into a Pinto 8)
