"Gary Dodd in the ex-Bill Bagshaw Pinto Pro Stocker at Irwindale."

...when did Bill Bagshaw campaign a Ford Pinto?

M68

Bill never raced or owned that Pinto race car, or any Pinto race car.

There were four Red Light Bandit race cars: 1) the C/Gas 57? Corvette; 2) the '68 Hemi Dart real Hurst car; 3) the 70/71 Challenger built from a body in white with a '70 Hemi Challenger street car that Mopar supplied, the paint scheme on the '70 is what we used... the same car was then updated to 72/73 Challenger status with tweaked paint scheme, 72/73 grille and tail light swap; and 4) the '73 Pro Stock Dart Sport that was featured on the cover of SSDI.

I've got to admit that the Pinto looks pretty good with that Red Light Bandit paint scheme.
