Re: [MBZ] How about a classic Ford Pinto?
We had a couple in our family, including a wagon. Ok, build quality wasn't anything great, but then again, a Datson 510 was nothing to write home about. As for Honda, I don't remember anything wearing that name tag at the time having doors on it. All of our Pintos were dark green, the wagon had the classy fake wood mat tack stuff on the sides. lol Ed 300E 2008/12/14 Tom Hargrave tharg...@hiwaay.net HYPERLINK http://www.autotraderclassics.com/details?adId=90549987; http://www.autotrad erclassics.com/details?adId=90549987 Thanks, Tom Hargrave HYPERLINK http://www.kegkits.comwww.kegkits.com 256-656-1924 No virus found in this outgoing message.

Re: [MBZ] How about a classic Ford Pinto?
We've had many pinto wagons in the family, and also, we had a couple Murcury Bobcat hatchbacks. They included a brown '72 Wagon with the automatic, 100% dependable but SLOW, a blue '74 wagon, parts donor for the '72, orange '78 with primered orange front end since it had been wrecked by the PO, light blue '79 Bobcat hatchback, a very good runner with 135K on it and still kicking when we sold it), '80 yellow Bobcat hatch for parts, and the white '80 Pinto Wagon with 80K original miles. They are easy enough to work on, but I much prefer the MB diesels, of course.

Re: [MBZ] How about a classic Ford Pinto?
I drove a 71-1/2 Pinto Fastback (the one with the big back window) as the third in the chain of hand-me-downs through the family. Dad bought it new for Mom, big brother got it next, then I got it. It was in good shape when I got it, despite my brother having owned it (not a car person) and I recall putting many trouble-free miles on it. Mine had the 2000cc inline OHC 4 banger which was only used for a couple of years. A good engine that was tough to kill. And yes, it was one covered by the infamous exploding gas tank recall Dan --- On Sun, 12/14/08, E M pokieba...@gmail.com wrote: From: E M pokieba...@gmail.com Subject: Re: [MBZ] How about a classic Ford Pinto?

Re: [MBZ] How about a classic Ford Pinto?
Was this the one with the totally glass hatch with the handle bolted to the window to lift it? Our '72 Wagon had the 2.0 SOHC engine in it also, but all of the others had the newer 2.3L SOHC.

Re: [MBZ] How about a classic Ford Pinto?
No, there was a metal frame to the lift gate with a large window in it. I think it was only made for a short time, as there were issues with identifying the proper model year on it a couple of times. That's why I said it was a 71-1/2. I really wanted one of the panel wagons but could never find one in decent shape.
