1973 Ford Pinto

Description: Thanks for taking a look at a cool 1973 Ford Pinto station wagon. Remember when these were everywhere? Yep, us too. For most though, it's been a very, very long time. Time and time again, this little Pinto brings smiles and stories. When we have visitors to Driven.co, perhaps to view our Brubaker Box, some exotic or race car, the Pinto ends up stealing the show. Every. Time. People always have a story about the Pinto they knew. And just so we get it out of the way… it was the Pinto coupe not the wagon that occasionally turned into a fireball when rear ended really hard. The wagon was a different design and was not affected by the recall. 1973 was the end of an era for the automobile: insurance rates were on the rise, gas was getting more expensive ($0.47 cents!!) and the safety rules were around the corner for 1974 with giant ugly bumpers slapped on everything. Some highlights of this Pinto Desirable 1973 model ( the only year to COMBINE these features:The last model year of small bumpers and the original Pinto design.The last year of the peppier, higher revving 2.0 Lima motorThe first year of heavy duty steering and suspension, combined with disc brakesEarly style, correct door interior handles *(These early production 1973 interior door handles had a habit of breaking under heavy use and were replaced with reproductions of a later design. Some say these are now rare?)Correct and original California blue plates from 1973 True survivorOriginal paint. Original interiorOriginal solid, untouched floors and structure.

It is not a new car and will not be fresh and perfect like that new soul sucking Camry your Aunt Betty drives. If that’s what you are after, this is not your era, nor your car so please move on to something boring. Shiny Paint appears to be all original, but close inspection will reveal numerous chips, scratches and whisky bumps that you might associate with a 51 year old used car.
