I do think this Pinto should have a rear axle upgrade which would not be difficult or expensive.\r\n\r\nAt the other end of the engine spectrum the Brit Kent 1600 was initially the base Pinto drivetrain. I distinctly remember one of the first Pintos I ever saw was at a Lime Rock Trans Am race I attended where it was in the pits with a complete Lotus 16 valve Kent lowered over small diameter race slicks that filled the wheel wells out to the edge of the pumpkin seed body. It transformed the looks into a very tough little sports sedan.\r\n\r\nThis is fun to see, GLWTA!", "likes": 5, "timestamp": 1720544704, "type": "comment"}, {"id": 14939607, "authorName": "TransitGuy", "authorUrl": "https://bringatrailer.com/member/transitguy/", "bidAmount": 0, "content": "I seem to recall that, when we ordered our brand new '74 Runabout, there were three engines from which to choose: 1.6, 2.0 and 2.3 .\r\nCan anyone confirm ?\r\n\r\nThis one's an absolute gem !", "likes": 1, "timestamp": 1720545590, "type": "comment"}, {"id": 14939610, "authorName": "mxrider302", "authorUrl": "https://bringatrailer.com/member/mxrider302/", "bidAmount": 0, "content": "Sold on 7/9/24 for $20,000 to mxrider302", "likes": 0, "timestamp": 1720545601, "type": "bat-bid-reserve"}, {"id": 14939619, "authorName": "Mexican_Spec", "authorUrl": "https://bringatrailer.com/member/mexican_spec/", "bidAmount": 0, "content": "@TransitGuy I believe the 1.6L was only available in the first 2 years.", "likes": 1, "timestamp": 1720545634, "type": "comment"}, {"id": 14939634, "authorName": "OpenIceHit", "authorUrl": "https://bringatrailer.com/member/openicehit/", "bidAmount": 0, "content": "Nice buy!
