Ingo ◊ 2010-02-10 23:22	@rljuna2: I think, the Pinto's had no special "European" bumpers. Maybe it was total identical with the US-version (but without a catalysator). I have no idea, how successful the Pinto was in Europe. There were some articles about it, even advertises (I own several 1970+ car magazines... ), but how many were sold here finally, I don't know. -- Last edit: 2010-02-10 23:22:31
