    And, for the record, I currently have a Gremlin and have owned two or three Pintos. I like the Gremmie, and Pintos are actually really good.

        Saw a mint Chevette on the street yesterday. There are hardly any left, even out here.

          Mark me down for a (gulp) Gremlin....seeing Brian Ambrosini's tire-yankin' orange beast makes me look at them in a whole new light.

          I'd still pay admission for someone to do a turbo install on one of the diesel Chevettes...LMAO

            I think I've made it obvious around here that I'm into Pintos. It might be because my first car was a Pinto. My son even likes them. Too bad I couldn't pick three. I'd throw the Chevette and Gremlin "worst cars I'd own" list too.

              Then just pick up a copy of Diesel Power magazine! Jason Sands there has one. I think I've seen him on here, too.

                    I like the Airflow for it's design, the Edsel for pure nostalgia....I owned a Pinto
                    back in the early 70's with a hand crank sun roof.

                    I've seen a couple of Pacers done up righteous looking pretty cool but
                    went with the Gremlin.
                    Something like what Randall AMC of Mesa, AZ did back in the '70's offering
                    up a 401 package.........a mid 13 second car for $2995

                          That's what I see every time I see one

                          Anyway, I'd love an Airflow, I don't know how much fun to drive they'd be, but it's one of the cars I'd buy in a heartbeat if I ever found one for sale, along with the Consulier GTP which is also on the list. Doubt I'll ever see one in person though.

                            V8 Pinto's are cool.

                              Still think Pintos are cool. A freind just built a 4cyl one a couple years ago, everybody loved it. Getting hard to find parts for.
