Ford Pinto FUNNY car
« on: February 17, 2014, 09:55:50 PM »
has anyone ever seen or heard of a all fiber glass body pinto funny car?!?! well when I bought my 72 runabout Saturday the guy has one!! said it came out of the Chicago area, looks pretty cool and is set up for a 460 bb ford!!

guy was willing to sell but for more then my pockets could and can afford - would be a fun toy but not street able so not for me!!

have pics if anyone is interested!! guy was asking $8000.00

let me know if this seems to be a real deal or some ones big piece of fiber glass!!

take care

Very Nice.. But is it as Cool as the Mickey Thompson Pinto F/C with the Titanium frame.... (See HOT ROD magazine circa 1970) That would be over the Top in any garage collection. Imagine a Frame minus the driveline at 60 lbs!

 Lightheaded at the thought of such things..

There were a whole bunch of them.  The picture you posted looks like an older funny car type chassis.  It might have been a late 60's chassis with an earlier 70's body.
