The only time my Pinto didn't get many looks was when I took her to Carlisle in 2006. That car was a total mess that year. Rust everywhere, messy interior, trashed engine bay.. Nothing nice to it lol. Now that is definitely different than how the car is now. Right now she is a different color, interior 3/4 way messy, engine bay looking decent... I just really need to get her finished for Carlisle 2011.

My attention getter in the early 80's was my '74 Duster with a pearl paint job & the name of the car "MOONAGE DAYDREAM" airbrushed down the quarters. It had a Super Stock suspension lifting it like a 4WD & a 660 HP detuned Super Stock engine with twin Dominators & no hood. It had a lopey idle at 1800 RPM & would bark out a 2 ft. patch of rubber at 7 MPH during an off idle 1-2 shift thanks to the SS Auto backing it up. I couldnt take that car anywhere without drawing a crowd. I MISS THAT.....LOL

PS: I still have it & hope to return it to the street one day as a Pro Street Demon. Im kicking around the idea of running a Dodge Cummins Turbo Diesel (650 HP 1000 LB.FT) & auto trans if I can reason out a front suspension to clear it all.
