My plans are to be there.
I hope I can wait untill the day of.
SO... I hope there is NO Sell-out!!!
From Pintony
Tony, down load the registration form and pre-register. There is no day of the show registration.
If you don't have a registration card they won't let your car in. I will probably have two there.
Don't know which two at this time.
Bob
Hello Bob,
please send me the link to the Knotts berry registration if you can.
From pintony
Try www.fordcarclubs.org for the form. The show is celebrating
40th anniversary of Bronco and 85th anniversary of Lincoln. Should
be 35th anniversary of Pinto also. There isn't a class for Pinto so
our only choice is All Other Fords.
Bob
Well I am going, I cannot miss this show; I wait all year for it. It's a tradition now. Just the anticipation of seeing how many Pintos will be there is so exciting. CANNOT WAIT!!! ;D
I'm going to! I'm bringing 3 of mine, so all you guys (bob, barth, you know who you are) that have more than one and dont bring them all had better this year!!! If you are in the LA area, we will be meeting at 6 AM in front of my house like we did last year. A 10 Pinto caravan on the freeway last year was cool you guys! Hope to see you all there!
I'll be driving down from No. Calif. - San Jose area, with my 1971 Pinto in tow. Probably staying at the show hotel, haven't made reservations yet. Really looking forward to meeting all of the So. Cal. Pinto enthusiasts and others. If there is anyone from No. Calif. going down, get in touch with me- maybe we can go together ???

The 73 v8 project that was towed in last year will be there under its own power. Have a lot of work between now and then, but it does run. I doubt it's body will look any better, but the engine will run.

I will meet you there like last year unless you live close. I am just 10 minutes down Beach. I will hold the spots if I know how many are on the way.
Hello to the members attending Knottsberry show,
My registration form has been sent.
I put my car classification #28 for other fords.
What have you put on yours???
Hopefully they will let us swap catigorys so we can all park together.
Do we need to save space so we are parked together or do they classify and park us?
From Pintony

Hello Joe,
I'm confused redmustangman3? But you have a Black Pinto?? ;D
See you at the Knotts. 28 seems to be the catigory for the Pinto. KQQL!!!
From Pintony
Pintony: Had the attached Mustang fastback for several years. 302, 5-speed, Ford 9" w/posi., many suspension upgrades, etc. See yah at Knotts. Joe (redmustang-man3).
Frankenpinto is one step closer to driving there, Installed the exhaust today and it should do Ok privided there are no speed bumps. Next weekend, I have the cooling system to be completed along with the new front tires. Like last year, If necessary, It can be towed there, but I doubt they would appreciate it 2 years running. I can safely say that it will still be competing for the Rattiest car there. Check out the site, it should be updated tomorrow night at the latest.
See you there.

I would love to meet up with all of you, but I doubt it will happen even next year! I suppose if I ignore my household projects it would be possible to get the Pinto done by next year. Of course after the divorce I wouldn't be able to afford to work on it so... maybe 2008 is a more realistic goal :rolleye:. Some wives just don't have their priorities straight.
Hello DragonWagon,
Try talking to your wife about comming to the Knotts.
You never know...
From Pintony
just curious, where exactly is knotts berry farm? if it's too far, I can't go
krazi
Hello Keazi,
The Knotts show is near L.A. California.
From Pintony
I guess I won't be going. my car probably wouldn't make the run, and if it did, it isn't emissions legal. I'm not sure that the state wouldn't let my car in. and another problem, due to flatulence, I personally wouldn't pass the emissions standards. ;D

Is that the White Falcon?
Hello Group,
I got my conformation letter today.
Pink letter with Red tag for my mirror.
Class 28.
From Pintony
Turbopinto,yeah it's the white one.they're in the process of finishing up refreshing the motor.They ran an 11.85 @110 mph last year at Fun Ford in Phoenix.they have upgraded the turbo and intercooler, shooting for high 10's by the end of the year.
Ok, all you guys going to the show MUST see this car, Its real Cool........
Hello Brad,
I can not see it!!! ;D
Hey Brad!
I realize that I'm gettin' old and my eyesight isn't what it used to be, but somehow I think there's something missing in your post!! :look:
based on his previous post i believe he is referring to the white falcon that should be at the show
:wow:
The engine ran last week, now it will not start. It will not even turn over. We changed the starter (neat trick with a 351 in a pinto) and it still will not turn over. I will check the battery as we may have killed it.
If it will not run, I will most likely be lurking with out the car. Wish us luck on getting it running.
Hello vonkysmeed,
It is a BIG enought taks swaping the starter with a 4 cylinder.
I think I would have tried a NEW battery FIRST!!!! ;D
LUCK! LUCK! LUCK!!!!!! :drunk:
From Pintony

No, Killed the battery by trying to start it. Several times we heard the acid boiling (is that safe) Well, today proved interesting. We got it running to the point that the water temp goes up and oil pressure does too (sort of) Unfortunately it showed 2 other issues, Leaky heater core (Who needs a heater in SoCal) and a mysterious oil leak. There is some oil leaking from the passenger valve cover and that will be fixed tomorrow, however there was a lot of oil loss. I also still need to install fans for the radiator. If I can keep it running on my driveway for an hour with out overheating or grenading, It will be there. Just hope I have the time. I will not trailer it in this year, but will check out the pintos if mine does not make it.
Check out the website in a few hours for the full reason it did not start. :surprised:

Uh, it would be cool if I could make it, but Im not holding my breath on it.

WOOOOOO!!! ;D :amazed: :D The show's coming up! Man I am excited. Hughie is going to spend time at the spa friday and saturday getting groomed for the show. He is getting the high-speed porter-cable for a good polishing. His tires will be removed for an easier access to clean and buff out the rims. I will have to scrub off the tar build up (damn freeways). Buff out every piece of metal I can find even if it's brushed aluminum. And then there's his interior. All that vinyl needs deep cleaning. I have to get out the damn sand that I somehow track in even though I am 60+ miles from the nearest beach. He has to be as gorgeous as he can be. Hughie will be dressed to kill. (No pun intended) ;)

Hahaha, nah, sorry Pintony. How about I just nicely hand you the sponge when I am done with it, maybe the soap too. ;) ;D :angel:
I'll be seeing you soon. Best of luck. Woo for roadtrips!
;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
FRANKENPINTO WILL BE THERE. It passed the test Saturday by running on the driveway with no problems (ok,few). I will be at carrows around 6:30 to meet with SCPOC (partners other club of Probes) I will most likely go in with them to get it parked and relax, however I will try to reserve a spot for all. I am assuming 10-12 pintos. If more, we will figure it out.
The first drive was WILD!!
:fastcar:
see everyone at the show.
