JoeBob,

I know you will miss Bob! I just had my 13th Pinto find me when I was out with my 12th. I have never owned the same color Pinto I have owned one since 1981 before they were cool. My mom bought me my first one when I was 16. I took it 4 wheeling and I could go just as hard as the Toyota's back in the day. I put over 111,000 miles on it in just over 3 years. So enjoy the memories of Bob glad I ran across your post before you left. I still dream about the different Pinto's that I have had and the stories of things that have happened.

I never have dreams about my cars, only real life nightmares. Is it something you guys eat?

I've never had a nightmare, but I have had a lot of car dreams.  I guess that's part of being a car nut... which I have been ever since I was old enough to know what a car was!
I never experimented with anything that would have been liable to cause weird dreams.  Do you think I missed out on something?

Today I mounted the headlights...i t's temporary, but I think this is going to be the permanent configuration with a little extra bracing welded in.  I have the fore and aft part of the mounts vice gripped in place.  I'll tack them in place the next time I get the welder out. 

Our weather is going to turn colder next week and I continue to work out of town so progress will be sporadic until Spring.  If I do anything, I will let everyone know.

Merry Christmas and a Happy, Healthy, and Prosperous 2024 to all!

Rob

For over 35+ years I have had 5-10 dreams about the '66 Mustang I bought in 1980.  It is always a good dream because I found a long lost car.  It's always a disappointment when I wake up and realize the '66 is still long gone.  It's OK, I love my '67 Fastback and the thing I am building is going to be an interesting ride.  I can relate to both of your dreams, except mine are less frequent than yours...

They are coming on the 27th with a trailer. I bought Bob because a I had a repeat dream in 1999. I would go to my garage and find a car with a tarp cover. When I pulled the tarp I found I still had the pinto I bought in 72. I was all happy but when I woke up I was sad it wasn't true. I bet this happened 100 times. So I watched Ebay for 2 years to find a car worthy of buying.The new owned didn't have a dream, but watched ebay for 2 years to relive his youth. I am thrilled we both have a similar story. I will learn more on the 27th. 



Bill, you will be missed.  Your story of your recurring dream is very similar to the dreams that led me to spend nearly twenty years trying to find an orange 1974 Pinto Runabout with black interior.  In fact, that's how I found my way to this site and joined.  My very first car, purchased brand new when I was sixteen, was a 1974 Pinto Runabout, orange with black interior.  I was one of the few kids in high school with a brand new car, but my dad was insistent that I not  squander my money on someone else's problem... my car had to be new.  Considering that it only cost me $2900, he probably wasn't wrong.  I drove it a couple of years, then traded it in on something "nicer" but then suddenly, maybe five years afterwards, I started dreaming that I'd stumbled onto it (never under a tarp... just setting there sparkling like new) after somehow leaving it there and forgetting all about it.  I discovered it in the basement, in the back yard, at my place of work.  You name it, in my dreams it could show up anywhere!  I put up with that for years with great frequency and the idea of looking for it in real-life started to form in my mind.  Actually, I knew that was impossible because it had been demolished in a fatal accident with its second owner, but it didn't take me long to realize that there were bound to have been others like it and, as I said before, I launched into a nearly twenty-year search for the right car.  When I finally found and bought it, my dreams went away.  Other than its automatic transmission, the car is identical to my original.  One of these days I hope to convert it to a four-speed manual, and if it's meant to be, it will eventually happen.  Thanks for sharing your story.  Best wishes!!!

Dwayne :)
