I did the same. I didn't find anything that either mentioned "Stretch Pinto" or looked like one. there was a chopped wagon, a modified, and a funny car, but that's all I could find that was beyond a fairly stock body.  ???

I didn't find anything yet.  I do remember something about a stretch pinto somewhere though. 

  Scott's probably laughing at us.

Yeah, he's probably sittin' back with a brewski and LHAO at these two fools that are trying to find something about a "Stretch Pinto". Scott actually spelled it "Strech" instead of "Stretch". I wonder if that was just a misspelling or if it is significant?!?  ???

Every time a Chevy guy gives me crap about exploding Pintos I remind him that at least someone had to hit the Pinto to get it to blow up. All you had to do was get in and DRIVE a Corvair and it could burst into flames.
