One of the greatest engine builders and all around great guy's in Hot Rodding and racing history! Pedal to the metal Amigo, to the next dimension!
The Top Fuel racing I greatly enjoy today owes so much to the input of Ed Pink. Thank you Ed, and godspeed.
Ahh yes, the man, the myth, the legend that is Ed “The Old Master “ Pink. His is a an interesting life, he was a racer, engine builder, mechanic and a fountain of knowledge when it came to racing engines. We shall never see his like again. God bless him and keep him.
Another of the all time greats gone from us, Godspeed Ed Pink. I wonder if there might be pink elephants in Heaven?
RIP Hot Rod magazine chronicled the "Project200" buildup in Mar & Apr 1965 articles @Pete Eastwood restored it and it's featured in Rodder's Journal #48.
Not mentioned was Ed Pink's influence in the building of high dollar "outlaw" Porsche air cooled engines
yes,as stated above, he sure knew how to make terrific power and builds. Sincere sympathy goes out to his friends and fans, and especially his Family
Hello, We should all be so lucky as to live to 93. He was born when the 1932 Ford was on the showroom. That goes back a long ways… Ed Pink was well known in the drag racing world. His early endeavors involved a Tahitian Red modified 36 Ford coupe. The painted shape on the rear quarter panel was/is a tribute to his dad’s Paint shop "Pink's Paint" from the early days. Two versions of old artwork showing street use and compe***ion use. The total rebuild and present day version: Jnaki The sightings of Ed Pink Engines and history in drag racing are one of those engines we see and wish we had them sitting in our own hot rods. This 36 Ford was a portion of his hot rod life that most have not ***ociated with the name and involvement. YRMV
From my viewpoint, he had an interesting and fulfilling life. To live that long and be active until not too long ago is quite an accomplishment. One item that differed him from many others is he was a good business man. R.I.P. Mr. Pink.
