man that looks like a BLAST!!!
 
wish i have a track like that near me!!
 
 

LOL actually yes it did! The guy I bought it from was from Wisconsin and had used the car to move here to Texas then bought a moped and didnt need the car because he had another car his mom was gonna bring him soon. It had a sticker on the back that said something like DAHL Autos or something like that. You wouldnt happen to know the history behind it would you?

Here's the story when I first got it. Like I said, I drove it over to the Mile for a couple of events but since it was not running right, I just parked it so it never made laps. Also here's a couple of the day I got it

Jeez this is too funny! I actually stumbled across your facebook on another post and dug up all those photos and a few more lol. I actually only paid $400 for the car. It wouldnt stay running because all of the carb gaskets and accelerator pump were dried out. As far as the floors go there is a pretty good hole in your patches lol. Every good dip I hit at the rallycross, I had a gallon of dirt get scooped up into the floorboards lol. I need to repatch them. As far as the a/c when I bought it, it was gone, at least the compressor was. Of all places to need it now that it is in Texas it now has no a/c. It really needs alot of work still but as far as just a fun around towner it gets the job done. Im glad you told me about the water pump because I was about to put a new one on it soon because there is a bearing wore out somewhere and I thought it was the water pump but now I get to do a little more investigating. Did you put in a new thermostat when you did it? By the way the paint job was a middle of the night krylon job and it turned out pretty well. I love your red wagon by the way it is gorgeous. My other pinto is a 1977 pinto drag car. My dad built the car in 88' and raced it for several years then sold it to buy me a jr.dragster. after 8 yrs of jr drag racing, we built an 81' camaro drag car and raced it for about 3 yrs. Then the opportunity came up to buy back the pinto so we did and raced it for another 3 yrs then tore it all down to do a bunch of much needed updating and to make the car fit me better seeing as how I am 6'9" and 425lbs lol. It has been about 3 yrs now and we are getting close to completion. Just needs paint and reassembly.

I knew I had a picture of a goat next to the wagon
 
 

So just thought I would give a little update to my thread...I have been doing alot of rallycross racing with my wagon and have had a blast doing it. My wagon has ultimately become the most loved car at our events. I drove into the roadrace track for lunch one day and they had a huge Porsche and BMW track day going on. I received so many thumbs up and comments. Then I came to a stop and had nearly 20 guys owning cars well into the $60k and up wanting to know every detail of my car and taking pictures of it. I will say it again. THE BEST $400 I HAVE EVER SPENT!!!!!!!!!
