After buying a 1977 Pinto Cruising Wagon, I knew I had to reunite it with its big brother - the Ford Cruising Van! So, I enlisted Dave Shuten at Galpin Speed Shop, a division of Galpin Auto Sports, to join in the fun. Check it out!

I actually had a lemon yellow Pinto station wagon. And what made it very special was it had a constant sent of gasoline. This made for adrenaline filled travel. I'm pleased to say things have changed and I now get my adrenaline from Hemi engines.

This is a bad ass video documenting a part of Jeff's life long desire! Dave is one hell of a builder and has one hell of a shop. There are a couple vehicles in the background I would love to see more of. Congrats Jeff on having 2 vehicles in your collection that were not only fun to find but fun to build!

@ronwilken5219 Год назад

@mrbratt69 I'm with you. There's a red something parked in the row by the wall seen over Jeff's left shoulder at about 18:40 in the video, that means nothing to my recollection but I'd sure like to know what it is. Jeff needs to take that van to someone who can sort the underbody, road gear and motor. It doesn't sound bad but it needs "tarting" to go with the rest of the "shagwagon" look. I get the feeling that Jeff's mother's anxieties about a 14 year old wanting a shagwagon were well founded. Nice paint job Dave though it somehow went a little flat when you removed the blue layout tape. Maybe a blue pinstripe would pop the colours again. Just MHI though.

@@daltonmann4916 Yeah. I laugh so hard every time I watch it. Everybody applauding when Tommy gets out and Cheech saying, "Make way for the new king."

By the way, the van won nine awards, including two best in show.

WOW the paint work is a lotta lotta work and IS FABTASTIC the way he made the window was some awesome ingenuity ( the hood prop is the most important thing at any point of being under the hood ) the luggage rack is great new carpet was the right idea a spare tire cover is also a good idea will keep the UV from the sun from killing your spare FYI your pinto needs the cam cleaned out it is not oiling properly (rattle) the attention to detail on the van was superb if you live on the road out of a suitcase you should have something nice and a touch of nostalgia never hurts the other great things are no computer to go bad and emissions are able to be grandfathered but restoring something older is always an easter egg hunt thanks for sharing .

@microbusss 6 лет назад

funny is I have a book on how to customize full size vans I think I would change the gas tank in the Pinto to one of them plastic lined gas tanks just to be safe

@That_AMC_Guy 6 лет назад

Pinto Wagon is a slightly different chassis than the Pinto Coupe, Bobcat coupe or Mustang II. If any of those are in a rear-end collision, if/when the top of the tank ruptures, the occupants of the vehicle get covered in gasoline. One small spark turns the car into a barbecue. The Pinto Wagons actually have a full steel floor and don't suffer the same problems the Pinto coupe or Mustang II have and were never included in the Ford recall back in the day!

@microbusss 6 лет назад

I wondered about that

@StevesDIYProjects7 6 лет назад

you put in a fuel cell. plastic or metal when its behind rear axle you are asking for boom. hot engine rear ends you. things catch fire. better to use a fuel cell that has walls with cell in middle protected.

@That_AMC_Guy 6 лет назад

They'd be better off pulling out that 4-banger and finding a little Cologne V6 for it.... or even better, full conversion to a 302 V8. The carb'd Inline four is a ridiculous motor - especially when teamed with an automatic. I think they were rated at 90 horsepower (and I believe that's gross hp). Interestingly enough, the Cologne V6 was very popular in Europe and there are plenty of (expensive) speed parts for it including a single plane -barrel intake, headers and lots of performance cams! That would be the cool way to go about it, but dropping in a 302 would be the best bang for the buck. Put a 9-inch in the rear, change the front springs, put in a beefy sway bar and go to town.

@abeclarkatp2595 6 лет назад

How about boosting it like an SVO Mustang?

@modelnutty6503 6 лет назад

Alfred yes, but I'd stop at the little V6, the 302 kinda too heavy requiring a lot more work, heavier springs, power steering etc.
