I will be in the Ag-Hort building all weekend and Postal Pony will be in the Buckeye building.He has a both there with Pinto parts.So stop by and say hello.
Hey Harley,
Dad & I will be there to see what else I can get for the car. We also will be dragging along a guy he works with that has a 66 Mustang that I have been working on. Odds are he will be able to get more parts for his Mustang than I for my Pinto but it's all about having fun.
Hey Tommy,
I'm planning on being there as well. I ran into Dino at dinner tonight and he brought up the show as well. I'll be looking for you guys!

I prolly shoulda mentioned I'll be there on Sunday. Dunno why but I have always gone on Sunday instead of Saturday. Maybe this time vendors won't be leaving before the end of the swap meet.
For all of you guys coming on Sunday,go to www.unitedfordowners.com or to Superswap.com.There is a coupon in there to get in for free.Make a copy of it and bring it with you.This is for Sunday only.P.S. I will try and get over to the Cracker Barrel on Sunday morning and meet you guys.
Thanks for the tip Harley. Got it printed off for the guy my dad & I are bringing on Sunday. See you then.
Just got home from the show for set up.There are Pinto parts and Pinto's.There is a Bobcat wagon for sale for $1800,it seems to be in real good shape.The owner sells die cast cars in the AG_HORT building.Hope to meet most every-one coming to the show if not all of you.I will be in the AG_HORT most of the weekend.
Wish I could go... sounds like fun... :'(

I was there Saturday. I drove my beater 73 1600 down from the Detroit area.
Pintony left a card on my window with his phone number. I left my cell phone back at home in my other jacket so I could not call him. I wanted to meet Pintony, the king of everything Pinto! So my opologies that I missed you.
I seen a yellow Pinto being worked on near one of the buildings. There was someone underneath getting soaked in gas as I passed by. I looked under the hood and made some smart-azzed comment as I ran by. I had to run to find a teller machine with some cash to buy something before someone else snagged it! After I made my purchase I headed back to where the yellow Pinto was and it was gone.
There was a blue Pinto for sale that looked pretty good. Anyone here?
I bought a Cobra jet scoop & some 61 Ford chrome headlight surrounds for my Volvo P1800 Es project.
There was a 427 SOHC still in the crate, though a little corroded. They only wanted $35K :hypno:
i went to the show today as well not too many parts for me, but a lot of mustang parts, plus its hard to buy anything and thne get on a plane and fly home with it. i did find a lot of litature and some key blanks and that was about it. the bobcat was nice but to buy and ship for me would be way to much, need more nice cars down south. everything is up north, i sometimes wish i still lived up there in cleveland till i think about how much snow was there when i landed a week ago thursday
snow sucks and its cold
thanks
eric
It sucks you didn't see too many Pinto parts there, but good that there are lots of Mustang parts since my dad & I are bringing a guy he works with that owns a 66 Mustang. Told him about the swap meet a few weeks ago & he got excited of the possibilities.
Just got home from the swap meet although I got the 77 Ford shop manual set & a map light for the Pinto I struck out with anything else. Oh well, can't say I'm suprised. Looked for you Harley but didn't see you anywhere today.
HELLO,I WENT TO THE SHOW SUNDAY AS PLANNED.I MET "POSTALPINTO"HE WAS REALLY A NICE PERSON.FOR THOSE WHO DON'T KNOW HIM,HE OWNS AN EX-MAILMAN PINTO........I WAS A LITTLE DISSAPOINTED IN THE SHOW THIS TIME.I DIDN'T FIND ANYTHING REALLY INTERESTING THERE.I AM SPOILED B Y THE SPRING SHOW.SEEMS LIKE THE WEATHER MAY KEEP A LOT OF THE VENDORS FROM GOING TO THE WINTER SHOW.(I DON'T BLAME THEM) THE COOLEST THING THAT I FOUND AND DID NOT BUY WAS A N.O.S. RIGHTSIDE QUARTER PANEL FOR A PINTO SEDAN.THE GUY WAS ASKING $250.00 FOR IT.HE OFFERED IT TO ME FOR $150.00.I JUST COULDN'T SPEND THAT MUCH ON IT RIGHT NOW.I DID BUY A SSHAKER SCOOP FRO M ALATE MODEL MACH 1 MUSTANG.ANYWAYS,I HOPE THERE WILL BE MORE STUFF COME MARCH.
I bought a shaker scoop also! I will be using it on Volvo P1800 ES project.
I will bolt the scoop directly to the hood instead of on the engine air cleaner.
I like the shape of this one.
Picture attached.
I know it doesn't matter for your project but that scoop looks like it's
from a 70-71 Torino. I think the Mustang scoop is straight along the
front edge while the Torino scoop has that little bit of a point on the
front edge.
Yes, you are correct. It is a Torino Cobra Jet scoop.
I like the look better than the Mustang. I just had to have it!
I just bought a new OEM 2005 - 2008 Mustang scoop just 3 weeks ago.
Now I will be selling that since I will use the Torino scoop!
post a pic of the OEM scoop from the new mustang please
STARLINER,HOW MUCH ARE THOSE SCOOPS NEW? THAT'S WHAT I BOUGHT @ THE SHOW.I'M PRETTY SURE I GOT A GOOD DEAL ON THE ONE I BOUGHT.THANKS,TOMMYS.
I over-paid for the scoop. I paid $125, I couldn't talk him down. But I just had to have it.
My Volvo looks a little like a 50's Ferrari. The Torino CobraJet scoop has that look.
Here is a picture of the new Mustang OEM scoop I was going to use for my P1800 Volvo.
The extra grille I bought separately.
I forgot to say that I spend around $185 for the OEM Mustang scoop + 15 for the billet grille + shipping.
I listed it on Ebay for a $1.00 with no reserve!
Item # 160304803051
thats a nice grill.
