The Ford Pinto was the idea of future auto legend and then Ford president Lee Iaccoca. With a target weight of 2000 lbs, the Pinto was supposed to be a lightweight import fighter, but instead suffered the inglorious fate of being the butt of jokes for twenty years due to the company neglecting a known fuel tank design flaw . The unloved but successful selling second generation Ford Mustang was actually based off of the Pinto. Today's Pinto builder channeled their inner Xzibit and pimped out their ride with a bored over 5.0 engine, beefy driveline, flame paint scheme, side pipes, big sound system, and enough street glow lighting to cover three Christmas trees. Find this 1973 Ford Pinto for sale in Branchburg, NJ for a hefty $17,000 via craigslist.
