Was posting (again) looking for an extremely cheap Pinto on the wanted section.
Then, while thinking of it stripped I had a picture flash in my head.
How about a gasser style Pinto? You know, straight axle, blower thru hood, etc. yes, a Pinto really isn't in the right era for that, but still, why not?
Just a thought. Back to work for me.

There was a copper colored Pinto with a straight axle on craigslist in Jersey a month ago.

I say do what yah want. Me personally ill never have anything to do with a gasser except maybe hauling one to the crusher to watch it get smashed for fun. LOL Ive already done the same thing to a Mini Truck with airride cause i cant stand them either. LOL
-
I wouldn't mind an Anglia gasser myself. Almost bought a couple over the years. I was done with mini trucks myself back in the early 90's but my crew cab dually is dropped 9" up front & 13" in the rear.
-
Just picture mine with the front end in the air and a skinny set of motorcycle tires up front. I'd be closing my eyes more than I do now.

you'd need to radius the rear wheel wells and have the rear tires sticking out, but that would be it. :-)
could probably charge admission for rides.

ive already thought of this i have a 77 c/w

A Pinto Gasser? Yes! One Request: Drive it down Rodeo Drive in Beverly Hills and do some bumps and grinds. Now THAT will get some attention!
-
A Pinto gasser would be really kool. If my Squire wasn't in such good condition I might do that...more for show than go.
-
My buddy had a blown '41 Willys Gasser that he sold for a fortune & now has a vintage '63 Comet Gasser with Fenton wheels & radiused rear wheelwells & another friend has a '62 Comet that is being turned into a Gasser.
If I was game I'd have plenty of help......

well with a 351w i think it will get there sooner than later
im building it on a budget so we using a axle out of a 88 2wd jeep 79 ford hiboy f250 front springs 8.8 out of explorer all free stuff laying around
-
Free is good !!

This might work but I recomend finding a rusted out car and I think it would have to be a runabout cause they have all that glass in the back Other than that big ole cleveland under the hood big gasser slots a "homemade" sunroof and two econoline buckets too boot and you got yourself a geeny Ine gassermobilesi r! But then again we could always just drive the thing
