“... in a Pinto”...

Did it EXPLODE?! I had a 1979 Ford Pinto, 2 door, Green exterior, baby poop orange/brown interior. I LOVED that car but Pinto owners did worry about EXPLOSIONS! Aw.... the good times of our youth. LOL!

Loved my new '72 Pinto--a dollar a pound=$2000.

'Bought it to commute and to race at road courses. After it was no longer eligible for the racing class, I sold it to my Dad. My Dad sold it to my girlfriend.

Later, I married my girlfriend!

Still running great, sold it in 1980 to an Indian student for $1600. Revved it for him to listen to the great "race sound" of the engine's original "aluminized" muffler. 😀

He stopped by a month later, and had installed a new muffler. 😞
