lol,,,, i have that one too!!!!!
you should have seen the look on the guys face when i put him on the counter and said, how much for the doll? ??? ?
Like the headers on that car.
Didn't know Headman made them though ! Look custom made ?
There was a set of flat collector headers on Ebay this year but I believe they specified either 351C or 302 Boss so they made several versions. Price was $300 or so if I remember right & they were never used.
Going to try & find them now..... if you have more info I'd really like to hear from you !
I got to look at the original headers that were on the B2 when it was in my car. Beat up bad & the guy wants way too much for them.
Turns out they have a stamp on them: JR Headers.
I Googled lots & have yet to find the company. I would think they kept the "plans" on what they built & could make another set ?
Ever heard of them ?
Last quote I got for new custom made in Alberta Canada was minimum $3800.00.
Found some. Says an engine plate is required.
motor plate installed on the Pangra, I sent you pics... didn't I?
Found some. Says an engine plate is required. No picture of it. Will call them Monday....

Dear Sir...I'm sorry but these hedders have been discontinued.. .Thanx for inquiring!
Cookieboystoys : Really sorry for being sort of off topic in your topic !
So when are you going to drive that out here...
Are you going to put some meshies like they used to have on em or you gonna keep those cragars?
I would have to take out a loan... at 14mpg... gonna be a big loan :oThere was ONE '74 Pinto Pangra turbo wagon built by Huntington Ford for a rich Asian Gentleman from Los Angeles, it did not have the center console or gauges, but was a "legit" Pinto Pangra. It was Orange to begin with.
I'm not actually positive on any of the facts on the V8 Pangra I bought this year...
son told me dad built it, dad passed a few years ago... they didn't buy it new but had it by the mid/early 70's
I know the DSO code for this one was Illinios as I recall, not a california Pinto. I have seen a few of the California Pangras in person and except the front seats it sure does look correct for a Huntington build but... when the family says it was built here and the DSO confirms it's not a California Pinto... what can I say unless someone comes forward, that worked at Huntington, to say they recall this car getting built for someone out East (Illinois or Minnesota) I gotta go with Built from a kit???
We did however have a midwest dealer that could get most all if not all parts to build a Pangra, i think he was in Chicago area.
I'll see if i can dig up the name somewhere
The ONLY way someone with a kit would get the emblems and dash would to be an "authorized Pangra builder/Dealer".
This car should also have the suspension kit with koni's and a front and rear sway bar, the recommended american slot 7" mags and recommended Conti radials.
some had Shelby center caps some had American center caps....
Supposedly my (Huntington Ford's ) Black Demo car was the only one with the smoked rear vented windows (pain in the butt and leaked) and "fuel altered type" wing on it....
Brian,
Do the Mardi Auto Works report on the car.
I'm thinking aluminum slotsSlots rule
that sounds correct, some had Shelby center caps some had American center caps, we bought them from a local speed shop in Arcadia on Balwin Blvd.
I'm with you, I think your car is pretty rare and it would be cool to find original build details.
I would LOVE to find my former "Gold Bee" Dealer race car. Good luck and if i hear/find anything else out about your car i'll sure let you know, like wise if you do, please let me know!!
If I remember correctly; the tires / wheels were sourced from Performance Specialties.
Brian, can you get a 'good' shot of the tread on those Continentals?
tire/ wheel combo looks correct from here.
I would have to take out a loan... at 14mpg... gonna be a big loan :oput a high gear in the rear and cruise on out at 100mph
put a high gear in the rear and cruise on out at 100mph
has 411s and a t5 but with about 400hp at the crank ain't much you can do about the gas milage I suppose ;)
Plus then it could be the big brother to its orginal Ak miller setup!
It did have a 2.0L turbo... the V8 is a recent addition
Jack Stratton has seen pics and said... never would have done a green one..
is it "dark green metallic"
ya know.......... that could have been the guy,
If asked to "offically" verify your car, i would.
Sorry i can't positively confirm without a shadow of doubt......
At this point you may have to be happy with the fact that no matter what, you have a very rare and cool car.
Hey Reves, check out a place called Total Performance located in Mount Clemens, MI. I know that they used to stock the "pancake collector" headers. Or you can buy the 4x1 "pancake collectors directly from Headman I believe.
