Yeah, If you do indeed have an Original Pangra
DO NOT CUT IT UP !!!!!!. Please send some pics of the engine and interior and I will let you know what it is.
Well, I know it was an original Pinto and a guy bought a Pangra kit... at least this is what I was told. Is there anything easy I can look at and tell?
I don't know anything about Pangra's... don't know if that is the way they came from the factory or if kit form was the only way???
Thanks for replying!
Bob
like Brad said, don't pull it apart untill you can post some pictures, if it is an original pangra....i would'nt be putting a V8 in it!
Ok,.. I am getting her in the garage this weekend... would a VIN help you guys out?
I'll get pictures as soon as possible, I don't have a digital so it maybe a bit..
The one thing that DID stand out other then the nose was the wild door handles... they where more like buttons that you pushed DOWN to open the door.. unlike the old lift up style handles... does that help?
And if it is in-deed an original.. I will not chop it up..
not sure on that....Brad will know, he's a Pangra guru (he has two) Is the engine turbocharged?
This is what an original engine will look like. Note the battery on the drivers side, The Ak Miller exhaust manifold and T4 turbo.
Here is what the interior will look like. Note the digital Tach, consoll and recaro seats. You will also have the Red Koni shocks front and back.
Ok,
I know it does NOT have turbo... but I'm thinking the interior looks like that one.. but my memory is as short as my.... well my memory is poor ::)
As far as the shocks... not sure at all on them...
Can't stand it anymore.. plan on trying to get it tomorrow to find out..
You guys got me ALL kinds of excited now LOL
Thanks guys
Bob
Got some more info...
It is titled as a 71 pinto.
It looks like the red one on this site, but what I'm trying to find out now is Pangra a kit you could buy or was it manufactured, like Saleen or something.
If this turns out to be a Pangra.. I don't want to chop it up... can someone tell me kinda what its worth so I can sell it and get one I won't mind chopping up?
Thanks guys
Bob
