Title: A present from my grandpa.
Post by: freepinto80 on August 06, 2006, 04:24:15 AM
I got this 1980 Ford Pinto from my grandpa as a 16th birthday present.  It is in EXCELLENT condition and has 88,500 original miles.  It has absolutely no rust.  I drive it everywhere.

 That's really really nice, I got my pinto as a gift from my dad for my 16th.

Way nice!
My 71 pinto was a gift at my 16th year also. Not really for my birthday but still around that time and FREE. Ive spent about 5 times the purchase price in 71 since then though over the last 19 years. LOL! ::)  I love the old school look of the slot mags.
One request though, BIGGER PICTURES!!!!  :hypno:

You're making me nostalgic! I had an '80 Pinto from '80 until '92.

Real nice, only one thought though, maybe hide the fog lamps and lose the license plate?
Other than that pretty cool !!

NICE!!  If you want to lose the lights and the holes, then get some nice stainless steel or chrome, round headed bumper bolts and put in the holes.  You wouldn't even notice them in there.  ENJOY IT!!
