Title: Pinto Crash in Car Craft
Post by: turbopinto72 on July 05, 2006, 11:13:08 PM
Hey guys, those of you who subscribe to Car Craft , check out pages 22 and 23 of the Aug issue. There is a HUGE 2 page spread of JP Lonsa 71 Pinto        ( great looking car) with the wheels up and on the wheelie bars and then as it lands it snaps a spindle and crashes into the wall. 7 big pictures, Man what a ride. This happened at Milan Dragway in Michigan on April 1st of this year. Those of you who do not subscribe to Car Craft, Look for it in the stands.

there's also another article in that magazine written by a Pinto owner.

it's the article where a guy buys an '85 corvette, and he rebuilds the engine.

also mentions he owns a 79 blue pinto hatchback.  you can see part of the pinto's interior in one of the pics.
