    That's the point exactly! I don't think the Rev will be going to San Diego.

    He's probably got lower mileage Pintos in his fleet! :)

    That's true. I can't imaging why someone would restore a Pinto Squire. Not that it wouldn't be satifying for an individual but a restoration without rust takes at least 1,000 manhours not to mention the individual parts that are made from unobtainium. No wonder the price.:confused:

    I had the use of one for a few weeks. They were fun to drive. You felt like you were in a rally car. Handle like stink too, but I agree, way too much change.

    I thought it was a model toy at first glance! I wonder how much that car went for when it was new?

    At noon today the bidding was up to $11,100. Now it's up to $12,100. I think it's getting close to maximum bid.

    He started out with a BIN of $32,500.00!!! How nuts is THAT! Hell, even $19,500.00 for a BIN now is crazy; but then, figure what crap you can get in a new car for that money, and it almost looks like a decent deal!:rofl:
