That IS a Pinto. There was also a Mercury Bobcat on the same platform. Pile of crap but they had their place.

I know someone who owned a BOBCAT after highschool. You never see them, like you never see a Yugo.

not to mention, calling a Pinto a Classic is like calling a rapist a cocksman.

I'll cut him some slack though, you definitely don't see them on the road that often. I saw a Mustang II donk the other day here in Hayward and I couldn't believe there's still II's on the road.

You mean the one with Philthy Rich? I think that was a Mustang II on 22's or some shit like that.

By the guys name you would think he would have a descent whip....
