My 09 G8 GXP came from Gay Pontiac. My 71 455 H.O. car was originally sold by Superior in San Antonio. My son's 2006 GTO is on its way here from Fort Worth, TX. We have an affinity for Texas Pontiacs!

IIRC - MOPAR Drag Racing great Dick Landy had a smug campaign against Don Gay's Pontiac Drag Racing successes with "Is Don Gay?" Posters & T-shirts...

RIP Don and Dick...wonder if you're still racing the 1/4 mile in heaven? http://youtu.be/F808yc52Tbg

Okay, Greg. I thought the same but refrained from posting it.

Now that you have, I'll say, I actually wanted to say "Tilt & Telescoping".

Couple more. That Gay AWB car in front was one I had not seen before. Have seen many of their other killer cars, but the low stance on that one really grabbed me

I saw a Pinto parked near Fenway Park in Boston not too long ago.

It is a really strange looking car!

I saw one being towed behind a motor home a couple weeks ago on our way to Florida.

Nice looking rig; new(ish) motorhome and the Pinto looked like it had been restored or was a nice original.

Pintos are a rare sight indeed these days. The only ones I can remember seeing in the past few years were at shows and were sporting V8s.

The one thing about seeing a Pinto is not that it's strange but that they look like a real car & not just the EGGS on wheels that were forced to drive now. Take the emblems off the cars & step back 30 feet & they all look the same. It use to be you could tell what kind of car it was 100 feet away with no problem at all, but now ,,,,,, EGGS on wheels.
