Yep, and you can tell them that until you are blue in the face and they always come back with "accept your car sucks" kind of reply.CobraIILover said:Most cars are usually based off others. This is true for Mustangs of all years.
First Gens were built on the Falcon platform
MIIs were on the Pinto platform
Foxes were built off the Fairmont platform
SN95 was a modifed Fox so it also reverts back to Fairmont platform
The 05 Mustang is built on the Linclon LS/T-bird/S-type platform
The kicker with the II, is that most people have it backwards. It was a Pinto based design, but the chassis and suspension was totally redesigned in 74 for the Mustang II. The Pinto then shared that new setup. The previous year Pintos are not similar to the MII.
I really think that the Pinto referance came from the base model, steel wheel, no spoilers fastback II. This version of the II just looks WAY too much like a Pinto.

chromehorse11 said:My first engine swap was in a Bobcat. I took out a tired 2.3 (warped head) and shoved in a 302. "Shoved in" being the operative phrase. It was pretty much a hack job, but what do you expect from a 14 year old!!! That thing would bolt like you wouldn't believe, and the best part was that unless you popped the hood, or looked underneath, you wouldn't have a clue a V8 was lurking under there. Aaaahh those were the days!
Eos said:I have never seen a bobcat, pics?
Eos said:NO! Theres no connection! "runs out crying"

Your pinto kicks so much ass that there is no need to say anything
You have a rocking car that will blow away 99.9% of the cars on the road and be proud of it! Just FYI, the first car I even rebuilt was a 68 Dodge Dart that was Pea GreenLet me tell you, all my friends laughed at me when I was building it but they had no problem riding in it when we were doing 110 down the highway
So, some say run away from a pinto, but I say run away from conformity!

Blue Thunder said:The bobcat actually had a V8 option, too. I saw one prowling around town here a few years ago.
Edit: I'm only fairly certain it had a V8 option.
Eos said:kinda a cute... little fella..
chromehorse11 said:I don't think that a V8 was optional for the Pinto/Bobcat. I think the biggest engine available from the factory was the 2.8l. And i think that was even pretty rare. (possibly reserved for the wagons, cruiser wagons)
