The 2007 PCCA / FordPinto.com Calendar starts NOW,
Here is how it's going to work,
Now until April 15th 2006 we will be asking for you to 'enter' your Pintos by posting a picture of your Pinto & a short description in this thread. FYI- Every Pinto MUST have a PCCA Sticker BEFORE the final shoot.
April 16th- April 30th we will put up a poll asking for everyone to 'vote' on which 20 cars are the best.
May 1st-May 15th the Charter Members will cut the number of Pintos to 15 and decide what cars will be what months (with 3 as runner-up backup entries)
The Admins will announce the 15 winners on May 16th in this thread.
ANNOUNCING THE FINAL FIFTEEN!- If you don't have your PCCA Sticker yet, go ahead and get yours now!

No representation is made that the Charter Members or Admins actually know what they are doing, in each and every case of actual knowledge exhibited by any of your CM or Admins there has always been a definite deliberate admission of for thought that closely resembles IQ scores closer to mice as opposed to Horses (Pintos). Actual embellishments or expressions of understanding are limited in scope to curtail any real or known importance. User be worried.

This is my 73 Sports Accent. It is a California car with no rust. I bought it from the original owner. He bought it new at Friendly Ford in Fresno CA. A few months after he bought it some one rear ended it. It was repaired so it is not 100% original. Currently it is in my garage south of St Louis and leading a pampered life. I enjoy driving it on nice days when the roads are dry.

This is Geraldine, named after the original owner of 29 years. This is an original, unrestored 1974 sedan. It has turned out to be quite a chick magnet as you have seen on this home page a few times. Maybe it is more my desire than the lure of the car, but it is fun anyway!

Here is my dad's and mine 79 Pinto wagon. He ordered the car as he wanted it. However, there was some mixup from the factory and car never came with air conditioning installed. The dealer gave my dad an option to order him a new car or to take this one and have them add the dealer air. He chose to keep the car and have them add the dealer air. Unfortuantely, it never did work properly but besides the air conditioning, it has been one of the best car we have owned.

here is mine
We need your photos back by july 15th, just a reminder...
It's our deadline to get the 07 Calendars out to everyone...
Hey Guys,
We only have a few pictures in with only 15 days left until the deadline,
Let me know if anyone needs any help, I would really hate to drop the project for lack of Pintos, there were so many great cars!
My pics are on the way, Scott. Hope you all get them soon. :o
Hey Scott,
I should have mine headed your way by Thursday :surprised:...where doe`s the time go? Happy 4th!
Rex
Did the picture shoot today...my daughter Kelsey took the shot`s while I watched and took a few with my digital cam...here`s a few...
Well, I received my pictures returned to sender as undeliverable to PO Box 372, Huntsville Alabama 35804. I am pretty frustrated to say the least. I checked to be sure I had the box and zip right and I do. Any suggestions?
:wow:
Tiffany
Any answer`s on Tiff`s dilemma? I want to mail mine out , but am concerned the address may be wrong! Thank`s...
Rex
I replied directly to Tiff's email but did not see this post until now... ( I was going to post in this Thread later on tonight about this same subject)
I have never had any issues with the Post Office (that I know of) in 1 year of using this address for FordPinto.com until now. With that said, I would not put it past them to do this type of thing so I will be making a visit to the post office on Monday and see if there is anything I can do to rectify the situation.
I REALLY appreciate Tiff's bringing this issue to my attention,
In responce, it would be imprudent to 'trust' the Post Office until we get this resolved and the track record improves.
Please send the calendar project packets to my home address UFN;

I apologize for any problems this caused anyone, it was out of my control as I'm sure you are aware.
should have mine in the mail tomorrow Scott, hope thats not pushing the deadline too much!?
I went to the Post Office today & added 2 'box names' to the PO Box even though the postmaster assistant said that the package should not have been returned for that reason. I have added the FordPinto.com name as well as the PCCA name to this PO Box. We are now as official as you can get,... HA!
Feel free to send them to the address you feel more comfortable with.
In the PO Box today I received, Hoot's & RedMustang3's Photo Packet's...
Looking for more!!!!
Hey Scott,
Sent mine out this morning to your home address via USPS Priority mail,hope they get there in time... ;D..Thank`s...
Rex
How many do you have so far?
Tercin
Mine was finally sent out this morning.Hey Scott there is a special pic in the packet for your eyes only.
Harley,
Considering our banter about undergarments, I'm more than a little apprehensive about your packets arrival,
You do know I have kids present?
Yes i know you have great kids.The Rallye is in the picture[somewhere].
Harley,
I was 'hoot'ing and hollering about your shot...
LOVE IT!!!
Got Bob's as well... NICE Purple Pinto... What carb are your using on that intake?
Just missing 5 now...
I'm working in scanning the shots now and getting them out to Jim.. I'm REALLY hoping to have the last 5 by the 20th or well... I will need to improvise... you guys really spent some serious time getting these shots and sending them in not to have a calendar... We may have some surprises...
crap, mine were sent out today (sunday the 16th) if you don't get them in time, move on to someone elses if you have that option. Between the weather and holidays i'm lucky i got them done at all. Sorry Scott.
No Problem Jeff, Actually I was not counting yours in the 5 cause I knew yours was on the way..
We are good..
Hi Scott,
Murphy's Law took hold of things around here for the last few weeks. If I can get the photos taken, processed and sent out priority by Thursday or Friday of this week, could they still be used? My car broke down (the '80 Pinto CW). I was going to fix it myself, but the shipping service that was going to take my '79 panel (yes, I sold my panel) ended up coming three weeks after they said they were going to, so I didn't have the room in my garage to get it in there. I finally took it to a shop to get it done. On top of that, my wife's car broke down while the Pinto was down and we had to get that fixed as well. While both cars were down, we had to nurse our old van along, which didn't like the hot weather we've been having, until we could get the cars fixed. On top of that, there were other things going on, like I was called for jury duty, etc. If I can still send the photos in, let me know, and I'll get it detailed and get the photos shot. Thanks!
Brien
79panel (I guess I'll have to change that now that I've sold the panel!!)
Hey Scott,
I hope you got mine and I`m not one of the 5... :surprised:
Rex
How do I puchase the camara? Sorry it took so long my computer crashed. I had to reformat it and lost everthing. The dell guy that I was talking to was in India. Send me an e-mail asap and I will have the pics as soon as the camara get here send it express. I'll pay the extra $.

Hello all,
Well, I'm toast to be able to get the photos taken and in the next couple of days. I've got the CW running again, but, in checking out a low tire on the right rear, I found that the sidewall is actually cracked and the tread is starting to separate in several areas. It has 185/70-13 General XP2000 tires on it, which are no longer available. I could find a set of Radial TAs or Cooper Cobra GTs with the raised white letters, but after forking out the funds to get the Pinto and my wife's Mits repaired, I'm tapped out. I could get two, but I don't have enough for a set, which would look lousy in a photo. I've got the 15" set from the panel on there now to be able to drive it. I appreciate all those that voted for my car for the calender! It would have been great hanging up on the wall!!
Rex,
Have not seen yours yet...
Let me know if the post office returned it. I'm still holding you spot open...
Hey Scott,
I contacted the Post Office today and was told that you should have them by today...(So much for priority mail)
JEEZ LEWEEEEEEZE!!!
Let me know if you get `em,if not I have a second set I can Fed Ex out...Thank`s...
Rex
Yup,
Got them today.... Thanks man.. were good!
Glad to hear it...did you get the other`s so you can go forward with the Calendar? Hope so...lookin` forward to hanging a few up in Chico... ;D
Did mine arrive yet Scott? Not real happy with them, i should have done them at the Ford plant like i was going to. Hind sight 20/20 eh.
Still waiting on yours Jeff, Canadian mail is just slow sometimes or did you have a hard time getting all the banning stick nails through customs? I really hope to have yours by the end of this week.
I'm still mising a few but I have enough 'other' pintos (old camera kit's) and one runner up who sent in their shots (thanks hoots) where I think we can produce a calendar and have 12 cars.
Jim Strauser aka 'jcbugs' (from Ohio) is currently doing the graphic work on several of the cars,
More Later,
Jeff,
Yours arrived today, Have not had a chance to look at them yet but I thought you would like to know they arrived.
Jeff,
First time I have REALLY had a chance to look at your interior in great detail, like WOW man... Holy Moses...
I bow before greater intellect, and the banning stick...
Thanks Scott! It's not all that and a bag of chips....i have some ideas for this winter to change it up a bit, should be good. Greater intellect.....i don't think so...The Banning Stick...ALL MUST BOW TO IT!!!!
Calendars are completed! Order yours now!!!

I know what you mean, I have had my Yellow runabout in pieces for several years now... I wonder if I still have all the parts after the move....
If you can't find all the parts, I know this cool website with a bunch of helpful Pinto people on it who could give you a hand. ;D
I did build a carport extension onto my garage/shop this summer so I'll have some place dry to work on my ride. Nothing as fancy as your setup, but better than nothing.
Man I tell 'ya, that Scott, he's got the shop hasn't he?
I am so jealous!
Dave
Sweet. Just ordered my calender, and picked up one of the shirts too!
Where can I get a PCCA sticker?
To get your PCCA window sticker, follow the link on the front page of fordpinto.com
I hope i can have my pinto in the 2008 calander......all im gonna need is some shiney paint, and some rims, LOL :D
hi
Can anyone tell me how many calandars we sold? Just want to see how much Joel Moyer (Poison Pinto ) might have sold.
Henry
Henry, I don't think we could compare the two calanders. This calender had much more advertising and was easier to get. I'm sure Scott could find out we are we are to date though.
