I met a number of the Pinto owners at last year's All-Ford Nationals, and they're a good-natured bunch. And the awesome thing about their cars is that no two are the same. They're divided into stock and modified classes, but within these distinctions, anything goes. The woodgrain wagon isn't even a Pinto, it's a Bobcat, Mercury's equivalent model. The powder-blue '77 has a Mustang's 302 and a Shaker hoodscoop. A handful of the cars are running boost on the factory 2.3L four-cylinder. And Connie's lovely orange Pinto has a color-matched powder-coated valve cover and orange plaid seats that were re-covered using a roll of the original NOS fabric.
