Vehicle Description
You love it when someone invests the right money to build an
all-out street machine just like you would, and this incredible
1973 Ford Pinto Pro Street is a prime example. It's a slick build
with a powerful dual-quad supercharged V8, upgraded suspension,
four-speed stick, custom interior, and slick modern paint
everywhere (including the undercarriage.) So it's obvious that no
corners were cut in its construction.
The sleek Pinto has always been popular with custom street machine
crowd. But while a lightweight car makes for an awesome performance
build, the true key to this one is all its retro-cool attitude that
goes with the asphalt-eating power. Rendered in an awesome Candy
Apple Red by House of Kolors, it has the gloss and shine that comes
from investing in time, product, and a professional hand applying
it. It has a metallic element worthy of a disco ball, and the laser
light show graphics will make you look up retrofuturism. So yes,
this a memorable machine for far more than just the big motor
popping out of the hood, huge rear tires, and the
professional-style wheelie bar.
Inside is more of that retro-cool vibe with a velvet-like velour on
the seats, door panels, carpeting, headliner, and even the dash.
Sure, that's cool to show off, but this is also a serious
competition machine. You see that in the RJS racing harnesses,
AutoMeter gauges, and full roll cage. Plus, the wood-rimmed sports
steering wheel and Hurst shifter are just where your hands want to
rest.
Four pins secure the whole hood, and so it lifts off not just for
access but also for everyone to see. After all, this might be a
monster motor, but it has such a sweet look with the smooth
polished walls and all the major components either finished in red
or shining brightly. But more than just an award-worthy
presentation, you're wondering about the power. This is Ford's
famous 289 V8 that has bored .30 over. It has been fortified with
Arias pistons, Hi-Po rods, and Hi-Po crankshaft. So it was made for
big power to be put on top with dual Holley 600 CFM four-barrel
carburetors and a BDS 6-71 blower. There's also the right
supporting pieces like steel braided hoses, electronic ignition,
and headers feeding the growling dual exhaust. The four-speed
toploader transmission can handle the extra power thanks to a Hays
steel flywheel, upgraded pressure plate, and a Zoom clutch. It
sends the power to a stout Ford 9-inch rear with 31 spline Strange
axles, and there's 4.56 gears for power take-offs. As you look
underneath, you'll spot a cool color-matched presentation including
graphics. You'll also see a strong A-arm front suspension, front
disc brakes w/new rotors, and new control arm bushings. In the rear
is a Don Hardy four-link setup with diagonal bar and adjustable
coilovers.
This is a serious power machine that you'll also want to put a
mirror under at the car shows. Something this awesome shouldn't
also be this obtainable. Don't miss out, call today!
