I shared this with several other people and most of them thought it was funny. We were talking about the collector car/hot rod hobby tonight at our weekly cruise night and I told them that eventually most of the "collector" cars will be Pinto's Vega's and Gremlin's. Even the Chevette will be popular again. heck, if i could find a decent one, I would love to get my hands on a Shovette.

GREAT JOB PINTONY

Thanks Tony! I'm happy to have my car in it....people stop and tell me that they like the car and saw it in the paper! I get thumbs up all the time and love it. Someone would have to offer me more than $100k for me to think of letting it go....LOL

Hopefully within the next week or so I will have a new exhaust!!


Thanks Pintony and good job on getting Pintos in Newsday!!!

Go to the article and under the link "car collectibles" there's the pictures. No I did not see any other Pintos except mine. They didn't even get pictures of the other feature cars!

But yeah I have 2 pics on the website and one in the paper.

Shoot me a PM with your address....I'll send you a copy.

All hooray for the touchbutton teletouch transmission! Honk your horn and shift your car within seconds of each other!
