    I have a 57 two door wagon and a 57 Ranchero. I'd like to find a Pinto Sprint.

    55 crown vic,69 gto judge, 2 67 morris minors, you may take some heat on the Pinto but I had one just like yours,was the most troble free car I have ever owned, put 179000 miles on it before it started getting oil in radiator, wished I could buy a new one just like it!

    1970 Boss 302, 1968 Mustang convertible. Nice Pinto! I had one a long time ago and it was a great car. Wish I could find another one.

    I have COUgars and musTANGs, thus my name. 5 altogether.

    They include 3 '69 Cougars, 2 convertibles and a hardtop. I drive one of the convs almost every day to work. I take the black htp to shows. I also have 2 Mustangs, a '73 conv for shows and a '72 Sprint sportroof which is almost finished to go along with my Maverick Sprint.

    Like Dennis, I, too, would like a Pinto Sprint to complete the trio. Love that red, white, and blue.

    We have a 1966 Fairlane with a 302 that is going to be a nice cruiser when done.

    Well...I will one day inherit a 1969 Camaro SS 396, 4-speed. However, since the uncle that owns it (and has from day one) is just 11 years older than me, I hope it is a very, very long time before I get it. In fact, it wouldn't bother me for one of my daughters to be the next to get it.

    None right now, ('69 Cougar)
    Mercury Cougar

    I have a '69 Cougar with factory electric sunroof for sale on eBay right now:

    http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Cars...hash=item190238874364&_trksid=p3756.m14.l1318

    I have had it about four years as a daily driver. From 2002-2006, my other daily driver was a '72 Pontiac Luxury LeMans. Now the second car is an '88 Pontiac Wagon. Not quite a classic...

    I would like to perhaps replace the Cougar with a small-bumper Comet GT, but I don't know if the wife will quite be ready for yet another classic...
