It all started when my aunt blew the motor in her 2000cc 70 Pinto. My grandpa happened to have a Cougar with a 289 in it and had the notion to set it in the Pinto. They had to do a lot of modifying to the suspension and the steering in order to get it to fit, but when it was finished it resulted in a pretty fast drag racer. Then my dad and grandpa decided to swap the 289 for the 302w. After much work they got it to fit and it turned out to be an even quicker car. So they added some chrome side pipes on and added a 9inch Detriot-Locker to give it enhanced traction.

After learning a lot from the light blue Pinto..

my grandpa and dad decided to build another hot rod out of an 80 Pinto.

This one would be a 302 with 351w heads.

A lot of internal modifications..

new cam profiles and lifter technology..

made it the fastest they ever built..

but also the shortest lived.

My uncle would smash the Pinto into a pillar and my dad was hurt in the accident.

My grandpa, however, created a red look-alike Pinto that resembled the one my uncle had crashed..

although this one would remain a stock 4 cylinder.

The latest Pinto project we have is actually an 80 Bobcat.

We got the car in Milwaukee..

because my dad had always told us stories..

about the old Pintos..

and we just HAD to have one for ourselves.

So, after a lot of searching..

we found and purchased this Bobcat.

We also have a 302 which we will put in this one..

but I am not sure if we will use 351w heads.

This Bobcat will not be quite as fast as the others..

but will certainly look just as nice.

We also plan to paint a Mustang Boss type stripe..

on the side of the car.

and we plan to put chrome side pipes on..

but we are not quite finished yet.

This one we bought from 78Squirewagon just recently

we plan to V8 this one also.

This is a project just started

but we plan to give it the same paint scheme as the Grabber Blue one.

The motor we will put in there will probably be a 302.
