I came across this forum while searching for Pinto floor pans. Great site and some sweet rides! I owned a '71 Pinto for over 30 years and recently lost it in a bad accident, so now l'm building another one. Many of you have probably seen or heard of the Cruising Wagon. I stripped my '71 and using what l can in the wagon that l'm building, 347 stroker w/ Dart heads and a t-5, and just bought another one to cruise around in that has a Thunderbird turbo coupe swap.
Late '70's early '80's I had a '72 Pinto wagon that I paneled in the rear windows, put in a 289, Toploader 4-speed and 8" rear. Fun little car.
been seeing a clean Pinto a few miles from my house. got in touch with a friend that lives 3 houses down from it. Owner said NFS...belonged to "Her" Grandma. been sitting about a year outside so guessing it's heading into the ground...
This one was for sale a few years back at our local swap meet. I was so tempted but I must remain focused on the Maverick!
Had a 72' vitamin C orange with a 347 stroker and 6 point cage. Ran 9.00 flat every time. My favorite part about that car was the sticker in the rear window: "Only little boys wear bow ties"
