Here’s another shot of a Pinto. Note the different paint scheme. If I remember correctly this vehicle was wrecked but not by my Dad.

Cool ride.

A little bit of back story on this car. My Dad tells me that the Jack spotted a hole in the Super Stock rules that enabled this car to win class at Indy with WG driving.

Be nice to have this car today.
I’ve got an original from Atco.

Another pic of the Taxi from the Wide Web.
This is from ’75.
The bits inside include a biography of the two principals, discussion of the vehicles and a few photos.
Cool.
Maverick’s. Here’s the first one. Blue. The second was red. This one was pretty much a standard car that was tubbed, etc. The second was purpose built.
