traction bars! yay or NEY

I had a 78 Pinto a few years ago and when I took my son to school in it the teachers would say how cool it was to see one again.

I bought an orange '72 pinto off a guy once for $40, sold it for $100 before I got it towed home, didn't have a spot of rust on it, damn I wish I'd kept it, I have two good 302's sittin' in the building.. Man what happened to the days of $100 dusters and $300 road runners?? Are we that freakin' old???
