The bad economy has hit home. We can no longer afford to operate. And with no bail-out on the horizon, we've had to settle for the lowest bidder to take over operations here. So starting today, we're changing our focus and our name. Welcome to the new PintoSS.com! Your one stop shop for all things Pinto! We'll expect all of you to turn your cars in, and immediately start Pinto projects.

I'll start looking for a Pinto wagon "nomad" with a four speed. I want to do a write-up on how to improve the rear bumper/gas tank area, so one doesn't blow themselves up when tapped on the rear. Not the same as my funny back window... but they are CHICK MAGNETS!

LOL! I love the banner pics. Who'd have thought they actually road-raced a Pinto. Do you think they changed the gas tank location or the rear bumper bracket design?

Do you think they changed the gas tank location or the rear bumper bracket design? actually I just had the conversation with a stockcar building coworker. It seems that here in the south the pinto race class is making a big comeback on the small circles. if you lighten the crank and fix the windage issues they can turn incredible RPM's stick a 4speed behind them and it is actually kinda fun to watch. kinda like fat chicks and mopeds, they're fun as long as your friends don't see ya
