I'm not sure if this is where I should post this. At Pick-N-Pull 3230 E Jensen Ave
Fresno, CA 93706.

I saw a complete 78 wagon with 2.8 V-6 and weird variable venturi 2 BBL. Car had an 8" rear and power steering. Looked like it was all there.

While there I scored a complete set of 2.3 liter roller followers and lifters :)

Seems like the majority of surviving Pintos are in California. Of course, back in the 80's, I bought a running, structurally solid 1957 Chevy two door hardtop (and took it back east to do a frame off resto) - for the HUGE sum of....... $800 ;D .

California is truly a treasure trove of automotive relics.

What's weird about this place is all the damn V-6 Pinto's I see here. I almost bought a 75 a few years ago. I have seen several at the local junk yards over the last few years. I know people on here are looking for 8" rears and other hard to find parts so I dutifully report em' when I see em'. I should have taken a pic...
