it’s kind of sad that the Ford Pinto is largely remembered for the detonating fuel tanks when somebody plowed into the rear. Be that as it may, timing was excellent and the car had a successful run through 1980, with the station wagon model making its debut in 1972. By the car’s l...
the rear cargo area looks very good. It hasn’t been abused or hauled a lot of stuff that would scratch and mar the plastic rear panels. (I had a ’75 Pinto Wagon and the cargo area never looked this good.)
As before, the Model A spanned a wide range of body types: coupes, sport coupes, roadsters, and cabriolets with or without rumble seat; "Tudor" and "Fordor" sedans; a surprisingly dignified Town Sedan; and a wood-body station wagon. Most could be had with Standard or DeLuxe trim, th...

This 1974 Ford Pinto has a couple of interesting stories connected to it or actually three if you consider a 48-year-old car with 4,780 original miles on it interesting. Ok, there are probably at least four interesting facts about this car or maybe more. The seller has it listedhere on...
a running water hose. From there it was Buicks, Cadillacs, and Oldsmobiles of various vintages in my immediate family. Great-grandma had a 1972 LTD coupe, and her sister had a Maverick sort of like this one. My mom’s best friend also had a Pinto wagon that didn’t impress me much....
