The Pintos in the Twin Cities rusted out two decades ago...
Seriously, enjoy your Pinto. I have no desire to denigrate any particular
marque. The facts are that Pintos hereabouts are virtually all rusty hulks,
and sports-car kits are available to use Pinto parts. Combining these two
facts can create some really fun cars. A Pinto-based Big Healey I drove
once was one of the nicer-handling cars I have driven.
