Holy Cow! I wouldn't feel safe pushing this car to the scrap yard let alone driving it down a road.

Goes to show you can't keep an old ford down. They'll run forever.   :lol:

Looks like "Mr. LTD" here in our town, he drives a 1976 Ford LTD and he drives 20 MPH EVERYWHERE!!! Smokes like a locomotive and it's so rusty it looks like it was dredged from the wreck of the Titanic!!! It's suprising what people get by with!!
Sold my Charger unfortunately....never got it finished.

Did I see a chunk of wood in the PASS side rocker?? That may be the emergency brake!!! I love the entire car, but the $8.00 fuel pump bolted to the passenger door panel is really classic!!!!! And hey, the missing floor boards makes for great fuel cell ventilation!!!  :D

Awesome! :rofl: The touch I like best is the white paint sprayed over the wheel well rust, in an effort to make the car look like less of an eyesore. :lol:

The Aquamax...yes, this bike spent 2 nights underwater one weekend. (Not my doing), but it gained the name, and has since become pseudo-famous. :)

This was Ford's answer to solving the 'rear end collision explosion' problem. There's a TSB out there somewhere detailing how to do this. The 'passenger side collision explosion' problem was never corrected and the entire Pinto line was dropped from production.

It's amazing what some people drive considering the choices in front of them. Pintos, Vegas, Citations, Hyundai Ponies, GM diesel cars. You still see the odd one, sometimes in mint condition. Not my world for sure.
My 1969 Charger. RIP......Rest in pieces.

Say what you will, but when and if the world decays into Road-Warrior like conditions that Pinto is 100% ready!
