MY 1st PINTO

MY 1st car was a pinto, I bought when I was 17, long gone.
I now have A 72 wagon that I love and can't afford to do much with.
But now I have the offer to get my 1st pinto back 77 trunk no engine.this would be a better choice for the V8 swap I have all ways wanted to do.


so what do I do?
pass on it a keep working on my 72
or get the 77 V8 it and just drive my 72

Hmm...good question. I wish I could get my first car back....even though it was another brand.

I always thought the wagons were pretty cool. Is it one of the ones with the soild sides or the glass sided ones?

There is a V8 pinto wagon running around here all time. I thought I had some pics in my photobucket, but I don't.

If you want me to...I will keep an eye out for it when it warms up. It is at all the local cruise ins.

If you can't afford to do much with the car you're driving, what makes you think money will just appear out of nowhere to do a V-8 swap for another vehicle ??? Duh- Oh !

Something tells me he gets a lot better price on parts than I can. Good point about that though. Hmm....

Gee Thanks! Make me feel worse.

Just tell them you are building a Y-block for your pinto and send me parts.
