A dear friend of mine who was murdered in our senior year, actually had one of these vehicles all during high school. I had to make it look just like hers. IMG_2847.jpg IMG_2851.jpg IMG_2850.jpg IMG_2853.jpg IMG_2849.jpg IMG_2848.jpg IMG_2852.jpg
 
Nice looking model. Didn't the Pinto easily burst into flames? Cost Ford a fortune in lawsuits?
 
Bursting into flames is definitely not the best selling Point!

Position of gas tank was a cause of fires in some rear collisions as I recall.

A very close personal friend of mine drove one of these in high school. She was murdered our senior year. I built this car in her memory. The only difference is mine is lowered in the front. Everything else is exactly the same.
