Does such a thing exist yet? Would be interesting to see how prevalent certain model types and years are. All people would have to do is post the VIN and give a few lines about the car's history or status.

Great idea, but do we already have one?

Can someone explain what I have been seeing on this site on occasion where a comment is made about "registered Ride" and then a number?

A few years ago the PCCA store had PCCA window cling stickers for sale, made by PintoWorks I think (http://www.pintoworks.com/ (http://www.pintoworks.com/)). Anyway, each sticker had a "Registered Ride" number on it, which was supposed to be a part of a "Pinto Registry". My 78 is Ride Number 110, I know a local fellow who is 112 and 113 and I believe discolives (Chuck) is 111. There is a thread in the Charter Member subforums about the registry, I asked about the progress of it early this year but never received any replies to it.

I just found the letter I got with my window sticker. Here's what it says:

FORDPINTO.COM

DEAR: DAVID

THANK YOU FOR YOUR PURCHASE OF __1__

So, looks like getting ahold of Brad (turbopinto72) would be a good start to getting these stickers reprinted and re-released!
