1973 Ford Pinto

From 1971 through 1980 Ford built the Pinto in three variants, the two-door fastback sedan with trunk, a three door hatchback and a two door station wagon. Over three million Pintos were produced in the decade out producing the combined totals of all its domestic rivals in the compact car market. All those sales, even with one of the largest safety issues ever known to exist loom over Ford on many different fronts. The Pinto and all other US compacts at the time were pretty much in direct response to the enormous importation of European and Japanese compact 4-cylinder cars that were largely more fuel effective. This perfect color combination Pinto that we are pleased to present has been a Michigan car its whole life and there are some areas on the body that show it. However, there are many good parts of this vehicle as well. The underside is pretty decent as well. The mileage I believe to be correct, as I have yet to see one of these cars actually do 142,000 miles. The interior is all original and pretty good also with the only real wear is the driver seat. The consignor bought this car for his wife as she had one growing up, but just like anything else it has not really been used so its time to move on down the road. This Pinto actually runs, starts and drives down the road better than I expected it to. Comes with owners manual and some dealer paperwork along with a couple service records. Take a ride on the wild side and come buy this 1970's icon.
