    1977 Pinto. 25,000 original miles. Purrs like a kitten. Outstanding gas mileage. What more can you say!



    Nice car!

    When I was growinng up there was an old timer that used to take me fishing, and all he ever drove were Pinto's. Through the 70's and 80's when one would die, he would replace it with another one. Spennt a lot of time in them, underratedd car IMO.

        I have a hard time narowing it down to one.

        I have had half a dozen Karmann Ghias that I restored (mostly stock body/interior and some engine improvements) and loved.
        I restored a Ford Fairlane 500 that was beautiful and kept 100% original.
        I loved my 83 'stang HO 5.0 5sp T-Tops and a 363 rear end - 0-60 REALLY fast
        My 69 Eldorado with an 8 liter V-8 was definitely fun.
        Maybe the best is my 83 Olds Delta 88 that I did custom paint on to pay homage to the 60's batmobile. I drove the car for 11 years and got for more it than I paid for it.

        My current fun car - NONE -perhaps next summer.

            Don't get rear ended ..... or was that only the 74-76's (when i was little my parents first new cars after they were married were his and her's pintos a brown wood panel wagon for dad and a babl blue hatchback for Mom)

            we were rear ended about 8 months before the recall and my grandfather told Mom it was a deathtrap get rid of it. of course he was right

              The car i got now is the coolest i have owned,its a Renault 5 GT Turbo Raider.
              It came with a wide arch kit and loads of engine modifications,its only a 1400 cc but kicks out 200 bhp (a rocket ship)

              There was only 1000 made in this model,there are only about 300 left on the road.

                Yes, they fixed it after the 76 models, so the 77 on up models were "safe"

                        Back in the 70's my older sister used to own a AMC Javelin

                        I don't think i've ever seen another one since.

                        Wonder if they're really rare today ?

                            I know about the 1000 s&H's too (hence why i asked) even the 351W is a pretty good engine
