Title: Pinto @ auction in Ohio!
Post by: FlyerPinto on June 12, 2010, 08:31:02 AM
On Tuesday, July 1 a Pinto Runabout will be auctioned at the Preble County Fairgrounds in Eaton, Ohio. The auctioneer is Bob Roach and the address is 722 S. Franklin St. I've placed a call to the office to get more info but haven't heard back from them as of yet. I'll post his web address later today, but right now I have to leave. Based on the photos on line though, this car is beautiful.

Pintoman,

I don't know, maybe if you park next to it, and just drive the other one home by accident you'll be able to get away with it! It sure is pretty, isn't it? And Father's Day is coming up, so anyone who wants to buy this for me is allowed to...

Would be great to put in the car temporarily until I can get the C4 fixed. Would get one from the junk yard out of a mustang and just swap everything from the bell forward, but they want $125 for one, and it'd be a whole day worth of work using their cherry picker and unbolting everything. :(

Timmay, it's time you traveled west young man. It just so happens I need a transmission (preferably automatic) for Green Meanie. ;D
