I know of one person that was able to get 77 material from them. something like this is best to call. could also do a search on google for factory or oem vinyl material reupholster auto. there are other sources and no... materials changed throughout the years

looks like SMS only goes up to 1975. Would the colors be the same for the later models?

i think aerodynamicly (sp)  it'll be tough, look at the lines of the new mustang, then look at the Pinto!
Understeer is when you hit the wall with the front of the car and oversteer is when you hit the wall with the rear of the car.

Horsepower is how fast you hit the wall, torque is how far you take the wall with you.

Pro Mod are easier because they use pure power to push through the air. It will be tough though...

mine wasn't on there either!  In 1971 it was 1340's at 101-104.  all pinto all the time ( and a lot of broken parts too!)

May she rest in peace
the only substitute for cubic inches is BOOST!!!
Of course money helps too!!!

Hi SRT. You are welcome to put your car up there. With 63000 plus listings (only of the pro and semi pro cars), there is no way we could keep track of the hundreds of thousands of other sportsman racers over the years. But we would be proud to have you (or anyone) put their cars up there. Here is the ADD form:

Where in East Texas? I'm from Lufkin myself, but live in Alaska now.  Working on the fastest street legal electirc (conversion) production vehicle which will be a Pinto  :lol:   Looking to take the record from John Wayland and the White Zombie.  Check White Zombie at http://www.plasmaboyracing.com/ and his post on www.dragtimes. com  under either Past Featured Cars or Featured Eelectric Cars.  His fastest 1/4 mile time is 12.151 and with some recent mods will be breaking into the 11's real soon.  I'm shooting for the high 11's when its all built and tweaked.  It'll all still be street legal as well.  What are you shooting for on 1/4 mile times?  You going with a 9" rear end?  See my posts elsewhere on this forum on The Electric Pinto.
