Hey guys sorry I havent been around lately got a ton of bad news first thing that happened was I sold the pinto (big mistake and wish I could go back and stop myself) to buy my first love a mustang I bought an 85 coupe with a 302 c4 stall shift kit posi track 3.27 gears the works for about a grand just needed a paint job. But anyways after I sold the pinto and bought the mustang everything went down here first I got pulled over for spinning tires in my truck 6 points and 400 bucks then I was leaving the parking lot of our local hang out and it had just started raining and the car started spining and went sideways on me and got pulled over again another 6 points and 400 dollars so I had to sell the mustang to pay for the tickets then because of the points I my license got suspended for 3 months. Thats not all more bad luck a lady ran a stop sign and hit me and totaled my truck. And I am thinking that if I hadnt have sold the pinto I would not be in this shape you know. But I really miss my pinto and am torn between getting another one and starting over or buying a 67 mustang. I have already started on the motor for which ever car I get I have a 289 which I am stroking and boring to a 308 I am puting 351 heads on it with 1.94 and 1.60 valves ported polished the works and I am puting a doug herbert 351 cam in it .500/.525 lift 285/295 duration 225/235 @.050" and a victor jr. style intake but like I say I am torn between cars. but you guys have helped me out in the past and I am greatful for your help so I figured I would ask for help once again with the decision making.
Hello 71ss351,
Sorry to hear about the bad luck.
Hope you find a pinto soon.

Man!! when the ball gets Rollin it goes all the way down hill. Get the pinto, the Mustang will come to you! That's what happen to me? JMCpony~ ;D
sounds to me like better get a 4 banger!
There has been a bunch of Pintos on ebay that would make great cars.
It's like I always say, just when I think I've reached the bottom, someone hands me a shovel! The last V8 I owned cost me $780 & my license for 6mo. That was just ONE traffic stop! (just so ya know I was doing 90+ in a 55, being pushed uphill by an 18-wheeler) I sold that '82 Mercury Capri RS to pay my fines.
I know I just bought my 8th Pinto on Ebay and can't wait for it to get here. I think my second childhood is going to lots of fun. I think if you start over you will be in better shape? And yes I have had that Big truck that could push you up a hill too. I hope you find the car that will bring you better luck soon. :peace:
