Pinto Car Club of America

  I've looked at this picture a million times...it's even helped inspire me to fix up my car.  This picture is the reason that I now own a Pinto, an XR4Ti, and turbocoupe, but who's is it?!?  And just as important, where do you get those side flares they have on it?  They're beautiful?

  Thanks for everyone's help.

   ...shawn.

Where is the photo-link???

since you mention the side flares.... is it this one or one like it?

There are also a black one and a green one owned by members of FordPinto.com with the "Hot Pants Kit" That I know of.

The red one is mine...

Oh...haha...I forgot to add the pictures.   ???    Well, I just have dial-up here so I'll post the link.  When I get back to school I'll have faster internet and more time so I'll add them as an attachment...

The one I'm referring to is the beautiful red 79' or 80' with the Turbocoupe motor.  You'll find it just below Scott's mint 72'.

How do I get a Hot Pants kit?!?

Ahhhh... not sure who owns that one but the name Tim is in the description. I but do recall seeing it someplace on the net w/a better description of how the body kit was made and with what parts... not sure but I think it was Mustang body kit parts used to make that kit for the Pinto...

Hot Pants Kits are very hard to find, made by car corp in the early 70's and were for the 71-73 cars. The front spoiler will only fit the 71-73's but the rest of the hot pants kit "should" fit any year. I have done test fits on 77/78 and 79/80 cars and I see no reason all but the front spoiler will fit on any year.

I'll add the pics of the red turbo while I'm here....

I would email Gerard (the owner of that site & one of the Admins here) and ask about that directly,,

Look in the 'About Us' section (link on the left) for his email,

Thanks guys...that's definitely the car I was talking about.
