I had a Pinto engined 1275 that I put a 2000 twin-cam into. Had a Capri
axle and huge flared rear arches ( ....BEFORE I GOT IT!!!!... ) Waaaaay too
tall to fit the bonnet so the DPO cut a beautiful sculpted hole through the
bonnet. Ugliest car I ever saw. CUG 762 J. Next owner painted it black
and proceeded to screw the engine by not refilling the radiator after
getting it tuned by a FIAT dealership.
Wonder what happened to it? I believe the engine was pulled.
Reached a 'landmark' today. 10,000 unread e-mails in my inbox. Ho-hum!
