if i sell my pinto

what should i ask for it its a 72 pinto sprint 4cyl 3 or 4 speed but i belive its 3 things are geting tight and if it comes down to it the pinto/t-bird/ and all my other cars go befor my mav

 

I'd go to ebay or Craigs list in your area and see what other Pinto's are going for.

 

Lets see some pictures

 

yea id like to see some pictures too because my dads lookin for one

 

Need pics. Inquirey minds want to see

 

You have our interest...just need details and pics!

 

Sell it as a collector - in a collector's venue - and you'll likely be surprised; just don't be in a hurry to sell it. And don't just flog it on craigslist.

I know at least 2 people that WANT an old Pinto to restore and drive. They're classics!

But I'm curious about your uncertainty regarding the transmission - have you driven the car? Does it run?

 

it will be a bit for pic my camera died/ but my reasoning on the trany is no i have not drivin it yet its been siting forever and has 4 flat tires. ive payed for it but it is still at the guys house he said he isnt in any hurry to get rid off it just happy to make some profit off it.

ill have it running a week after i get it so know worrys im my mind :16suspect

 

I am reasonably sure that all Pintos with a manual trans were 4 speeds ... that little motor needed all the help it could get. It would not be a transmission that you could use behind a V8 either ... pretty sure they were among the first that Ford used that had an integral shifter but I might be confused with the Capri here too ... ... if it is what I am thinking, they look skinny compared to a top loader.

 

All '72 Pintos came with the standard 4 speed or the optional Select-Shift. The standard engine was the 1600-cc. The Select-Shift was only offfered with the 2000-cc engine. If the 2000-cc engine was selected, disc brakes were required.

Gary, is this the same Sprint we discussed a couple of years back? You forwarded some pictures of it behind a fence in a storage lot or salvage yard. You said the interior was shot and looked like it had not been run for some time. I believe it was under a tree. Is it still at the same place?

Do you have a title for it? What will you be asking for it?

Gary:

If you really want to sell it, go to where the PInto enthusiasts reside - www.fordpinto.com. The site there is very much like this one, but the focus is on Pinto. There will be >many< interested buyers, especially if it is a Sprint model. Good luck.

yea thats is.lost thoes pic when my comp crashed last year . found out the warehouse behind it is where he lives. im working on the title now.

price wise i have know idea. ide look at a reguler pinto for pricing but i can find thos everywere for cheap. the only pinto sprint ive ever seen is the one car and driver owns, never seen them on ebay, and only old pics in the internet so i know there really hard to find.

 

Don't forget about Jims Sprint (Coutangman)

 

Get it running and some what cleaned up, get the title, then park it in a high traffic area during "Hot August Nights" with a for sale sign on it, the town will be full of old car enthusiast's, you may just make someones day! In not you can always install a chain steering wheel and take it to Colorado Springs, I think there's a guy there that would buy it in a heart beat!
