Well then that brochure is different than the one I have.  I have a multiple page copy. 

Doug, I have only seen two Group II Pinto's to date and they were both early cars.  One was a 72 that my friend owned.  The other was a 71, I believe, that was on Ebay a couple months ago.

Tony, it is actually a 4-5 page catalog showing all the parts and the three packages they offered.

It is already up to $51 :surprised:  I am not bidding on it since I already have one.  There are two guys bidding on it.  It will be interesting to see if it goes for more....

When you are on the forum page, you will see something that has your username, under it how many users are online. keep looking down the page, you'll see an item for sale in the Pinto store, then some links. Brick-A-Brack is one of those links, the 10th one down. It's there as I'm looking right at it. Again, this is on the left side of the page. Hope this helps.

There are links to the left on the page. Just slowly scroll them & you can see the link for Bric-A-Brack.

Henry sent that mag to me to get it online, go to the bricc-a-brac section & look for Henry's name... you can read the entire article online.

Huh? Bricc-a-brac section? Where is that?

Yes! And no, I don't still have them! They were stick ons and went in the round file cabnet. I made a race car out if it in the mid 70's. It also came with A70-13 Polly what ever tires. Only other option was an am radio. Car really look'd good back in 72. Red with a white stripe. Its pictured in the gallery along with Racer Walsh's car. I raced it from mid 70's till 95.

Did your car come with the emblems?

Group II was a promo by the dealers. I bought my 72 new in Dallas and it came with Shelby slots and a Sperco stripe down the side. The Group II name is the orignal name of the under2 liters trans-am class in SCCA. Group I was the pony cars and Group II was the under 2.0 (later 2.5) liter class.

I do like the look of that console. A shame I can't find one like that. I did notice that the valve cover & timing cover are the nicest looking pieces on the whole car. The guy painted those parts but left the ugly old air cleaner housing.

Hey Tigger,
I saw that!
BUT the stable is FULL!!!
I really do not see much of anything that makes it special???
From Pintony

You are right, it is just a kit that Autosport Product put together for the Pinto.  It is interesting to me because I have some of the parts from a car that had the kit.

The rear bumper with the extra hole in it for muffler cooling. That was a rare option only offered for high dollar.  ;D

Tigger,

If you're willing, I can scan the original & put it on line for everyone to see.  Just need to borrow the flier for a week. You can ask around, several have done this with me & I have never lost or damaged anyone's article,

You call...

Sorry Scott, I must have missed your original request to post this catalog.  I will send it to you....  Do I send it to the same address I sent the windshield gasket?

Hello TIGGER,
Almost everything that was posted in this subject line can be found in old magazines.
Not just Car magazines. Playboy and Field & Stream Advertised the Ford Pinto.
Do you have an Honest John's Catilog?
This company was a bit like J.C Whitney back in the day.
The console you show in your photos could be purchased through Honest John's.
Remember that in 1971 Ford sold nearly 1/2 million Pintos.
The Pinto was 1995.00 base price and Many dealerships capitolized on that fact.
With stripe and creature comfort items + go fast goodies
Many aftermarket companys jumped into the production of parts.
Do you have an Ieco catilog?
I'm pretty sure that is where you can find the Group II emblems.
From Pintony



Thanks for the info Pintony.  I do not have either catalog.  Is either company still in business?  Didn't Ieco sell VW parts?

Pintony, here is the thread I started on this.  Just curious if you know anything about these and if you know were I can find some of these parts.  I would really like to find a set of emblems.  Wayne, my friend who owned the car, has misplaced them.  79 panel, I have a color scanner / printer now.  Send me your address and I can send you a color copy.

I've got no way of making a color copy, sorry.  I would be happy to send you a normal copy?  Let me know if that will do.
