Obsessive Compulsive Ford Pinto Disorder is an anxiety disorder in which people have unwanted and repeated thoughts, feelings, ideas, sensations or behaviors that make them feel driven to buy more Pintos.
Often the person carries out said behaviors to get rid of the obsessive thoughts, but this only provides temporary relief. Not performing the obsessive rituals can cause great anxiety.
Obsessive Compulsive Ford Pinto Disorder (OCFPD) is more common than was once thought.
There are many types of Obsessive Compulsive Ford Pinto Disorder.
Todays example is an excessive need to buy more Pintos and the compulsion to buy more Pintos is unavoidable.
The person usually recognizes that said behavior is excessive or unreasonable but buys more Pintos
anyways.....

wanted to use Van Halen Panama (Pangra) but copyright issues kept me from using the song of choice
Nice looking Car Brian! How about some details?

Cookieboy, That is SwEeT! You lucky dog.

How about some details?
I'll do my best but as some know... "I'm no motorhead" and details are limited, I will sit him down and get a detailed list later.
It's a 302 w/alum heads, 4brl, 5 spd (t5) has been balanced at a professional race shop in the Minneapolis area. Every part that can be alum on the motor is alum... last time he weighed the Pinto it was just under 2,400 lbs and says it's been lightend up since then. Motor is mounted with a motor plate in the front vs. motor mounts in the regular area leaving better room for the headers. He estimated 350hp to the rear wheels? maybe a bit more and thinks it would do high 11's/low 12's in the quarter. Set me back in the seat hard! doing 40mph and then he floored it. Has a detroit locker 9" w/4.11 gears and 4 bolt hubs. Has the original tires (continentals) and 13" wheels to go with it. I also get the turbo motor and all parts that were pulled to do the V8. The Pinto is setup to be a good street cruiser and it does do very well, surprised me. This morning at 3k on the tach and 5th gear the speedo was buried at 110mph with room for much more and it was a smooth ride. It's been in his family since the 70s and speedo reads 25K? or there abouts.
O.C.F.P.D. is a serious sickness. No kidding...I suggest you play it safe and KEEP BUYING PINTOS! Otto N Austin

At one time I had 3 Pintos, now I only have 2. Still looking, though! It's a terrible affliction!
I personally think all of us with pinto's have this affliction and don't know it till it's too late! :) I thought i would only need one and know i'm trying to get this all original 74 runabout for the past 3 yrs the lady that has it says she wants to save it for her grandson who is only 4 yrs old. I will try again this yr ( NICE CAR COOKIEBOY)

I am a (sort) of motor head !
First is I need a pile of pictures of the front motor mount sent to me via e-mail.
My 72 Pro Street will be getting a "new" BOSS 302 Drag Pack engine this fall/winter. Going to go with the front engine mount for better header room.
Shoot me a PM. If you forget, I'll send you a note in the future. (I'll be starting a topic asking for pictures in the future anyway)
Cool car & would like to know all about it !
Derrick
Very cool brian! How does it feel to be a Pangra owner?! Even if it isn't stock, it's still a Pangra!
it's a two sided coin Dave... on one side I keep saying I have to many... but on the other side COOL!
no more beaters for me or any needing major work, this one is turn key so... why not ;D
I hear you there! When I get my dream 78 'stang (I know, shame on me!), I hope to find one with good paint, body, and interior, maybe only requiring a few repairs, nothing major. If I find a V8 Pinto, the Mustang will be out of the question! :)
Until I get through the OCFPD on my wagon - which has just entered its FOURTH year of ownership/restoration (and I plan to have it done next Spring), I can't possibly take on another project - though the thought HAS occurred to me.

Dwayne :lol:
My wife would kill me if I told her this, but I have only begun on the Lemans and already am kind of looking for another project car. Can't really afford one, but maybe there is someone else as crazy as me that wants to give one away. hint hint hint
Only if I got one that way I wouldn't have it on Craigslist for sale that very night. :-(
Yes, that still burns.
I keep thinking of where I would be progress wise on the Pinto if I had kept it. Oh well. stupid me. We ended up having to pay for a month's extra rent cause we hadn't gotten everything out of the rental house in time, if I had known we were doing that I would have kept the Pinto, would have had the time to pack it all up and move it.

Hindsight is nearly always 20/20! You did what you had to do faced with the information you had at the time. No point kicking yourself about it now. Hang in there - something will come along!
