    OMG a turbo Pintowagon? I would be all over that. How much is it?
    All Pintos are worthy of rescue, what sweet little drivers.

    My best pal in high school had a Pinto wagon with the panels instead of glass. It had the little round portal windows on each side was white with some kind of stock blue fancy paint scheme. Nice little car.

    Recipe for a quick little low budget bracket car:

    Take 1 Pinto
    Add a SBF

    Enjoy!

    Oh I missed that it was a turbo. Pintos are pretty neat....there just aren't many left around here. The ones that are have bad rust issues. I'd like to find a solid early Pinto. There's a guy that runs one at the strip here with a SBC (yeah yuck) but it really honks.

    Last year I posted the pictures with all the snow around it is that what your refering to. I've been fighting congestive heart failure for over 4 years so it took awhile to follow-up on it. I took the pics for maskso125 or any Utah member that may be in this club of a Comet with some good parts. When I took these new Pinto pics I was feeling the best I've felt in 4 years.

    Here's something to think about on your health I knew I had something else It didn’t matter if I ate or not everything was tasting too sweet when I did eat. I was starving 2 hrs after eating they said my blood sugar was off the hook blaming diabetes. I made a list of my symptoms went back to the doctor he comes and says you know we have discussed the last 4 times. Ah, Ha! I said and pulled out my list and told him your nurse just weighed me and I've lost 15 lbs in 2 weeks I’m starving to death. The doctor said your right after the 2nd set of antibiotics he did a urine culture they called me on a Sunday that antibiotics not going to work were giving you a new one. I had E coli (sp) they asked if I'd been out of the country, when I got home and I thought $h!t I work were all the airmen deploy I found out some had come back with intestinal infections.

    2 weeks later I miss 5 days of work dizzy, puking, chest pains I go to the hospital and I've gotten another virus Congestive heart failure really screws up all internal organs.

    For $900, if its not wrecked or rusted, you would be ahead of the game!! Its already had the turbo motor conversion done for you, and it looks like it just needs a good cleanup and some attention.

    But be aware of the stock 2.3 turbo cylinder heads, 9.5 out of 10 times, they are cracked and are basically junk. Its very hard to find a stocker thats not cracked.

    :hmmm: FordLover 101 I'll bet your right money about the stock 2.3 turbo cylinder heads being cracked since ther seems to be a lot of part inside the car too.
