Title: More proof that everybody loves a Pinto
Post by: r4pinto on May 21, 2011, 04:40:41 PM
To start off with I went & got 4 new tires today at Tire Discounters & my car got more looks & compliments than I thought were possible in her rough shape. That made me feel good, considering she is almost all the way stripped to the original paint.

It gets better...

While I was outside sanding my car to strip the rattle can paint I noticed this Ford Ranger was stopped by the car. I look up, turn the sander off & the guy smiles, nods his head & gives me a thumbs up. I nod my head & smile.

It feels so good to get the looks while working on a car that so few would consider a piece of junk.

I almost caused a car accident yesterday from someone trying to take a picture of my car as I was driving it. Yep, everyone loves a Pinto

I've had more people come up to me at gas stations to talk about my Pinto than any other car I've ever owned. Some want to know how much I would take for it. NOT FOR SALE.

I like those that use the line "everything has its price" then get mad when you tell them no amount of money will buy it lol.

I always throw out a HUGE number when people ask me how much. If they think I am crazy then I say "that's my price"

lol. Hi everyone. Sorry ive been off here for a while. Been working on mine. About done and hope to have it rolling for the Stampede (Topeka Ks area and at Specks Bar/Grill for lunch). I put it in the St Patricks Day parade in March. People loved it. Lots of thumbs up and smiles. Theres only a hand full of them running around out of the over 3 million that they made. Im like Russ and everyone else "NOT FOR SALE".

Hey, they came and interviewed me and took pics last month. Heres the article that came out today in the Lawrence Journal World Newspaper. Take care eveyone. Kenny
