Title: NHRA Pinto Pillows
Post by: 71pintoracer on July 30, 2009, 09:20:41 PM
What a blast from the past! My ex sister-in-law does "after the estate auction" house cleaning and she keeps/sells/trashes everything left over and preps the house so it can be sold. She knew I would want these for sure! ;D

I'm just a tad jealous there 71PR! I thought men didn't like throw pillows. Send 'em on over here.  ;D

I saw on ebay a blanket that had that design (with the Pinto). I myself inherited a NHRA blanket much like the pattern on those pillows but alas no Pintos. It does have pix of the mascot for the "GatorNationals" though... :D

That's the first Pinto pillows I've ever seen.  I have a shirt, cap, tie tack, a drinking glass, a book of matches, and one of the watches with the kicking legs.  Also, just bought a Pinto letter opener on eBay the other day but haven't received it yet.  Are we obsessed, or what ???

Are those pillows  from the spring nationals in Columbus,Ohio.The picture of the Pinto looks a little like the Buzz Bomb owned by Jimmy Edwards.He is still running this car.

At $23, I probably WAY overpaid for the letter opener, but it's the first one I'd ever seen and I just had to have it!  It still hasn't arrived, so can't be sure how badly I've been taken yet :lol: :lol: :lol:

No idea where the pillows originated from, they were just left over from the estate auction. Can't imagine why no one bid on them! Got any pics of the Buzz Bomb pintoman? Way cool that he is still running that car.
