Old friend of mine bought a beat-up Pinto for pennies, put in a tired beat-up smoking 302 in it with a decent tranny and went out and ran low 11's his first time out. Those things are so light you can run 11's, 10's with about any motor. was a cool car.
I rescued mine from a farmers field in Montana 3 years ago, 2.3 turbo /c4/8", 8.5" tire. Ran 10.50's @125 on the old setup. It's Ugly and I'm gonna keep it that way.
Anyone remember a lime green, tubbed & caged small-block Chevy powered Pinto in the Carlsbad N.M. areain the mid/ very late 70s? That was my car & seeing this thread got me to thinking that'd it'd sure be nice to get it back, even if it's sitting in a junkyard somewhere out there? If anyone knows of it, or saw it, PLEASE posts some pics or at least let me know?
I really dont understand the Pinto/Vega thing. Not to disrespect anyone. Everyone says there cheap and light but ends up spending 25k anyway. With all that kind of lute in the car you could have picked any car out there. In the end it is still a Pinto (the worst car in history). sorry to affend all
I always wanted to put a small block in a chevette but i would only use all extra garage parts. Everone would laugh until it ran 11's and whopped some mustangs. But if i had a high budget, i would be looking for something else.
My old man bought a Pinto new when I was 17 I was racing a Vega and banged 2nd gear and the shifter came right out of the transmission, it was held in by a nylon nut!
My old man said I was "Ghear Jhamming!" in his swedish venacular, he told me too watch it because I "was cruising for a bruising".
im working on a cleveland pinto with the old steel hight port heads should be fun
