V8 Pinto EBAY-Cool a Millon Years Ago

[FordForSale1]

My dad has decided to finally sell his Pinto. For many years people have been crawling out of the woodwork to try and buy it. He decided to put it up for sale yesterday. I am not trying to sell it here, just show it off, it's Cool & Gross at the same time.

Has it been in a fire before?

Looks like it would take about a million years to restore it.

Cool car though, always wanted a Pinto.

I remember the Pinto conversions back from the 70s. This one is a notch or two down from the nice conversions I remember (if I project what it looked like when in better condition). Still if it could be bought dirt cheap it could be turned into a nice retro ride. But it's going to need a lot of work. If I was doing a V-8 Pinto I'd go for a nice Pro Stock/Pro Street look.

LOL, my best friend who never talks about cars said something like that once. We had just been re-ended in his Altima:

Him - Aw man, good thing we werent in a pinto, we woulda gone up in flames.

Me - WTF, lol.

Million years to restore it?? Body/Paint are in great shape. Under the hood could use some metal fabbed up to clean up the bay. Int. Dash, Gross- but original, Seats- Gross but original. Door panels, Gross- but original. A little time in J.C. Witney and she could be a sweet machine.

Did anyone else see the 5.0 emblem on the door? I know it's a 302, but still LOL. It looks like a cool car to build up, not too bad to have been sitting for 5 years.

I'd never drive that car for that reason.
