Porscheman Posted September 6, 2013 Posted September 6, 2013 This the 2nd in a series of, "what if the gas crisis happened when they filmed Bullit the movie". My 1st was a Maverick and this one is AMT's 74 Pinto. The Pinto was paint with the same Dupli-color Dark Metallic Green and four coats of Testors Wet Look Clear. Interior was done in semi gloss black. Now I'll have to find a Fiesta.Hope you enjoy them.Al
cobraman Posted September 6, 2013 Posted September 6, 2013 Nice Pinto. I almost hate to admit it but mt first brand new car was a Pinto. That was back in 1972. I bought a brand new custom painted panel Pinto in 1978. They were actually pretty good and reliable cars.

Chris White Posted September 6, 2013 Posted September 6, 2013 Dude, where do I buy one. Yours is awesome.
realgone58 Posted September 6, 2013 Posted September 6, 2013 That's neat Al. I love the pic with them all in a row!
cobraman Posted September 6, 2013 Posted September 6, 2013 You just did not want to get rear ended...BOOM! Truthfully, my 72 was hit hard in the rear while I was at a stop light. No " Kaboom ! "
slusher Posted September 6, 2013 Posted September 6, 2013 (edited) Very sharp and cool looking pinto. l like them all lined up also. You could do a mustang ll also.. Edited September 6, 2013 by slusher
Porscheman Posted September 7, 2013 Author Posted September 7, 2013 Dude, where do I buy one. Yours is awesome.Chris, I won this one on evil bay for $50.00 last Thursday and it arrived on Tuesday, another quick build. I couldn't believe how hard a Pinto kit was to find. Carl a Mustang II is a good idea and they're easy to find. Thanks guy for the nice comments. BTW the newer Mustang in the picture is a 1:18 Autoart Bullit.Al

PappyD340 Posted September 7, 2013 Posted September 7, 2013 Super NICE job Al, I always wanted a pinto, but BOOM was the reason I never bought one, the series looks great!!
Ramfins59 Posted September 7, 2013 Posted September 7, 2013 Great build Al. You sure work quick. You've got a good theme going here.
peter31a Posted September 7, 2013 Posted September 7, 2013 Very cool! I had thought of doing an eighties version using a Ford EXP and a Dodge Omni. Even bought the kits but never followed through with it.
Porscheman Posted September 7, 2013 Author Posted September 7, 2013 Thanks guys!!! I just picked up an 89 Ford Probe which will be my next in the series. It arrives next Thursday, so it should be done by Saturday. Anybody want to part with a Revell Escort for #4???Al
Maindrian Pace Posted September 7, 2013 Posted September 7, 2013 Great Pinto. Ironically, I always though that a Mustang II would look good in a Bullitt theme. -MJS
