Here is a link to a look into a tiny part of Pinto history:

Yes...there were two prototype cars. One of them (used in the Sticky video on the forum page) belongs to a member here. Not sure who that is, but what an amazing piece of history, even if it did fail miserably. I was 15, and headed for my pilot's license at the time. I still have the tiny article from the SF Chronicle about it. Ahhhh, youth...

I have all the info on that since I did all FAA research and my wife did all the news paper articles. Fred :)

1 prototype that flew and crashed while getting FAA certification and the 2nd was just painted to look like the Mizar flying pinto for the promotional video.
