I have a 1980 Pinto that I bought that already had the conversion done. And a damn good conversion at that. my question is...I can find aftermarket hoods for Pinto's up until the 78 body style, but not the 79-80 one. Different headlights, grille ect.... Anyone know of a site that list aftermarket hoods for a 1980? I need a taller air cleaner hence a taller hood and would rather have a 3 or 4 inch cowl on a fiberglass bolt on hood or lift off. Hell any hood with any type of scoop.

See the threads below. Only one listed a hood for the 80 model the ad is suspect (same hood for 71-80. I recommend talking to them and have them send you photos before purchasing. You may have to add a cowl to your stock hood.

Was the 80 Pinto a white Pinto on Ebay? It had frame connectors, lexan glass, and a stock 70s 302 with a 2 bbl? It looked like a sleeper except for items like the glass straps. If it was, it really looked like it was done right.
It sure was hard not to bid on that one. I still have my kids college bills & was in Hong Kong at the time. It would have made a perfect 2300 or Cosworth YB-T car.
