There's a car club out there for everyone. Case in point: Ford Pinto enthusiasts have embarked on a journey (http://www.autoweek.com/article/20110602/CARNEWS/110609982) across a large portion of the country. In all, 24 Pintos (http://www.autoblog.com/tag/ford+pinto) are making the 1,600-mile trek from Denver, Colorado to the Ford Nationals in Carlisle, Pennsylvania. By the time the group arrives in PA, a few more Pinto fans will join the unique train of cars, bringing the total number of vehicles up to 32.

Along the way, the Ford Pintos are making a few pit stops. For instance, the group already dropped by Kansas Speedway, where drivers pushed their Pintos as high as 95 miles per hour. If that last sentence doesn't sound frightening, you're braver than we are.Ford Pinto convoy celebrates maligned model's 40th birthday (http://www.autoblog.com/2011/06/05/ford-pinto-convoy-rolls-across-america-to-celebrate-maligned-mod/) originally appeared on Autoblog (http://www.autoblog.com) on Sun, 05 Jun 2011 12:06:00 EST.
