Comment Pintos forever! (Score 1) 97

My '71 Pinto was the hot rod of my youth. Don't laugh it off so fast. Header and some carb tuning, it was quick. I could stay neck and neck with camaros & firebirds (yes, lower case) until around 60. The V8's would then start to pull away. You had less than a pony car with a V8? Eat my dust. Oh, Roadrunners could outrun me too.

Did it have problems? Yeah. Timing belt would break on a regular basis. Got to the point I could change it w/o tools. Line everything up, slip the new belt on. Being a Ford there was all sorts of stuff that weren't up to snuff but that thing was a runner.
