    The Tragic Tale of ElSuperPinto

    So I mentioned the fleet of assorted 90s beaters I somehow ended up owning (it's a long story... I didn't actually want any of them but the Ranger) in the Craigslist thread. In my driveway currently sits: 2008 Kia Rondo: It's the ex-girlfriend's car. We broke up over the weekend. I bought her...

    Um... Well... That's the Sonoma in a nutshell if it hadn't accidentally become my beater when the Ranger's timing belt broke. Damned thing needs a control arm, blower motor, oil pan gasket, O2 sensor, coolant flush, and a few random other things... And is 4000 miles overdue for an oil change...

    Thing is, he started at the same $6k I did. He was the ONLY person that showed up to look at it in six months of having it listed. He won't end up getting anywhere near that. Yup, I'm one of them. I have a '99 Ranger, '96 Sonoma, and '96 Avalon for sale right now. The only one I probably won't...

    https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/811107620128275/?mibextid=dXMIcH ElSuperPinto is for sale again. He's asking twice what he paid me for it. Good luck with that, I guess.

    Progress Thread The next "big" project for my Cobra - T-top conversion coming soon!

    ElSuperPinto ran the PMGR starter for a '93 Mustang 5.0 for years with no issues. If you install one and it makes grinding noises, the shim from Dorman fixes it, makes it start smooth as silk.

    The Tragic Tale of ElSuperPinto

    Nothing. I'm done having a project car. I sold my '87 Mustang GT convertible because I grew to hate it. I sold my '75 Thunderbird because gas hit $4.00 a gallon during the Bush Administration and I couldn't afford that thirsty 460 anymore. I parted out my papaw's '75 Chevy because by the time I...

    The Tragic Tale of ElSuperPinto

    ElSuperPinto sold to a very nice young man this afternoon that is into muscle cars and wanted a new project. I told him about the forum and thread, so hopefully he shows up to keep y'all entertained with the old girl's progress.

    I think he's about 100hp optimistic.

    The Tragic Tale of ElSuperPinto

    4Runner is gone, sold to CarMax for $7600. I was going to throw it on FB for $10,000 and take the first offer over $7500, but I saw that CarMax had reported that used car prices had gone back up, so I checked and got that online offer and saved myself the trouble. Drove the girlfriend's Ranger...

    Mustang 2 clutch pedal conversion to hydraulic clutch?

    I think you're underestimating your horsepower by about 50. Car Craft got 400hp out of a stock bore 302 with the stock cam using similar heads to those, given the bore and more aggressive cam, I'm fairly confident you're probably closer to 425-450hp, especially with no parasitic drag from the...

    The Tragic Tale of ElSuperPinto

    ElSuperPinto still sits at the shop. I started it the other day to make sure I still could (fired right up, gotta love an Edelbrock carburetor). Nothing but lowball offers, dreamers, schemers, and no-shows since I listed it months ago. Parting it out looks like a real possibility at this point...

    Why you chose a II?

    I was 16. I'd never seen a Mustang II, only heard that they were awful. Then I saw it, this glorious white hatchback car with blue stripes and "COBRA II" emblazoned down each side in white letters. I thought it was one of the coolest cars I'd ever seen. I knew jack about it, didn't even know it...

    That car is completely and totally trashed. The exposed bondo that's been getting rained on is going to have to be sanded out, and likely need rust repair behind it, and I'm willing to bet that the primer isn't a primer-sealer, meaning it could be hiding nastiness as well. If my running and...
