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?

winsor351 - google sms auto fabrics - you will have to match your material and have a local reupholster them for you. no place to buy nos/repop covers for pintos

Turbo Toy 1/8 mile run
« on: September 19, 2006, 03:25:12 PM »
This is a run I made at Ware Shoals Dragway this summer.The air was terrible.It was 97 degrees and the humidity was over 80 percent.This run was 7.62 @94 MPH and a 1.57 60 foot time.The car is a turbo 2.3 and a true daily driver that still gets 23 MPG..Hope you like it.

Yeah,26 pounds.When I went to Charleston this summer for the TurboFord meeting,Rod Kiser and I rode around for awhile with it at 32 PSI.Man,it sure felt good,but I got concerned about testing the fuse between the head and the block.LOL. :o

Ahhh, now I understand, mine is nearly stock with every body interior &  exterior part intact and I'm running mid 9's with slipery street tires. Next purchase is traction bars & cheater slicks to get rid of the 2.20 60 footers.

Tommy,I have the Pinto down for some major mods right now.When I roll her back out I will give you a call and we will go hurt some peoples feelings.The NEW and IMPROVED PINTO should run the 1/4 mile in the 10's at around 130 MPH and still be a daily driver 4 banger.Later.

I usually run my car at about 18/19 PSI at the track and the street. One time my wastegate was not working right and I boosted 28 lbs.  :o :o The car would not drive straight and would literally through you back into the seat. The car boosted so quickly I almost could not shift fast enough...( evil laugh.I want more...... )
