    hard to believe how these numbers can survive after 40 year exposed to the elements.

    That should be a rotation number written on the rear valence. See if it matches the rotation number on your build sheet.

    When I was a kid, I never thought that would say how cool a Pinto is, but I would trully love to have one of those Sprints. I rode many a mile in a Pinto and Mustang ll as a child. KUDOS, to you for finding it, but more over, KUDOS, to the Sprint for having you rescue it. Great job, Pintony.:thumbs2:

    "KUDOS", what a funny word. I think this is the first time that I couldn't find a better word to use than "KUDOS".:bananaman

    Cool project! Considering how rare these Pinto Sprints are, I am amazed as to any surfacing. How did you hear about this one? So, now you have both and automatic and a 4 speed one. That is great!! I am sure they will be very nice when completed. Congrats!!!

    Hello coutangman,
    My sprint Pinto "the 4 speed one" is almost out of the paint shop.
    I took my camera today but forgot to check the battery. :cry:
    Will post some NEW photos soon....

    That 1972 Pinto in the video was mine at that time.
    When you see the speedo moving that is ME flipping the cable to make the needle move....
