Car Story The Ford Pinto that took on IMSA back in the 1970s

Video: The Ford Pinto that took on IMSA back in the 1970s

I was in Daytona and away from other cars was a Pinto..... That had a HUGE 9 inch stock car rear end in it
compared to our Pinto with USF Sports Car Club on the side driven by Chuck Singletary.

Those guys told me it was an optional rear end. BS BS BS!
There probably was a lot of other stuff that I missed.

Another Pinto was run by Car and Driver Magazine...... with a Keith Black racing motor in it that
"was laying around in the garage"...........which is a lie coming from anyone competing in anything.

This isn’t any ordinary Ford Pinto. This one competed professionally back in the 1970s and has remained largely in the same family ever since.

Find out more about what makes this car special and surprisingly quick from its owner, Brian Walsh, of Racer Walsh Co.
