    Hey got the call this morning at 9:30 ish to pick up a salvage car . When talking the old guy said Kit car and he was in the Air Force back in the day and he had the car for 20 plus years . Well nephew showed up for work at 10 and me and my buddy Dave went out and picked old red up .

    Cool find, especially at this price!

    The Pinto version is much closer to what the original was. The VW based ones leave me cold.

    Moved to the fastest run group so I can drive "flat out"

    I could definitely live with a Pinto powered one.

    This probably ought to be posted over on the GRM forum, but think of the small block Ford potential!

    Salvage? Why not sell it or swap it? Oy.

    Nice find!
