How many people here collect old Pinto parts that they will probably never use or sell? What are your unique/desirable parts?
I have:
1971 stock 2.0 engine (running take out)
2 spare 2.0 heads
Stage 2 Racer Walsh camshaft (less than 100 miles on it)
Offenhauser 4bbl intake
390 cfm Carb
Degreeable cam gear (2.0)
1set still packaged performance rocker/followers
Clock console
72 wagon complete wire harness
NO THESE PARTS ARE NOT FOR SALE!!!
I know I am a pack-rat, my garage attic has boxes of stock Pinto parts that I just keep holding onto in hopes of needing some day.
Any other Pack-rats / collectors?
Kevin

american racing libres
front and rear sway bars
2.25 lowering blocks

c-4 w/ mustang ii bell
2.3 turbo short block
extra turbo coupe t5 for parts
misc interior parts from my 76 wagon
im sure theres more, but i dont look at it. i have much more crap from my old fox body and the 41 ford.

It would be easier for me to list what I DON'T have.
J.K., but I do have a whole bunch of stuff that would be hard to replace so I like to keep 'spares'.
Bill
I too have a bunch of parts stashed away that would be hard to replace. I also have a bunch of parts waiting for my 73 Turbo car that I never seem to have the time to work on. The rest of my stuff is for sale ;D
I have a few toys in the attic...
recently added the "complete" interior from and 80 Pinto all glass with AC in blue. All of it is in really good condition and I did get it all, right down to the dash. Plus 2 doors, 2 fenders, good front bumper, grill and headlight buckets, all marker and tail lights, the glass hatch and hatch seal.... that was a good day ;D
In my attempt to build a turbo Pinto, I have picked up a parts Pinto, two parts Merkurs, a spare T-bird engine, and a whole lot of spare odds and ends.
I really need to get off my butt and sell some of this stuff on eBay and get some money back.....

a local guy bought a pinto for the suspension and driveline for a kit car...
I got to pull all parts he didn't want before it went to the bone yard, I had 1 night to do it and that's what I got ;)

sorry.. no.
Map351 has made the spoiler in fiberglass and will make the rest as time and demand dictates. The original kits are all mine ;D

How about a Pangra turbo still in the sealed box signed by AK Miller???
Holy :o :o :o !

:hypno: The hotpants pintos are by far my favorite. I hope these come out soon.
Deffinitely the hot pants. I am sure these would sell if we could get the aftermarket going. Een if every pinto had hot pants, I do not think it would get old. If you cannot get them made, let me know i WILL LOOK INTO IT. :showback:
I already found a 2.0 header, Spearco intake, and a rare cast aluminum timing belt cover , just looking for a matching valve cover now and a holley 390. Just before i bought my Pinto i saw a set of Tubular traction bars sell on ebay pretty cheap. I can't find any parts cars around here. I think i have the only Pinto still on the road within 50 miles at least. crossy

well... Map351 has made the rear spoiler and can make/sell more. He had the rear spats (side-behind the rear tire) and made a mold for them. All he needs now is the side pieces (between tires and under door) and people willing to pay and I'm sure we can convince him to complete all but the front spoiler... these pieces (except the front spoiler) will fit all sedans and hatchbacks, the wagons will need a custom rear spat but I think there was enough interest in them back when we did the "poll" so that may be a real possibility too..
The front spoiler will be hard to duplicate (complicated) and only fits the 71-73 cars (because of the bigger front bumpers 74 and up) so I would guess that piece will be last...
I am more than willing to provide anything Map351 needs to duplicate this kit, all he needs is time and willing buyers... I want to see them made as I really don't want to use the 2 sets I have on any future projects (unless the right/original one comes along) and will buy 1 or 2 myself ;D
and please.... let's not hijack this thread with Hot Pants Replies/interest....

I stopped looking for parts about 15 years ago. Don;t have any more room to store them.

I have the Toyota 5sp, bellhousing, adapter, trans mount and driveshaft that Ak Miller made to fit on a 2.0 engine. I guess it's rare, he only made one.

In my junkyard hunting days I've collected two interior door panels- black with aluminum wannabe woodgrain (long strip) with the bucking filly embossed on it; a couple hubcaps with the American-cheese-orange (iris?) and kickin' filly middle (have only one 'cap now); countless pinto emblems from different years; a couple shift knobs with filly; a couple stallion steering wheel centers; aluminum mag wheels; two different types of wheel centers- red and black- with fillies; various years of owners manuals...
