    Those were always interesting to me, I love the orange bucket seats!

    Yeah these are pretty cool - probably the only style Pinto I'd really really want to have in my lottery winning collection!

    While I give this one credit for looking neater than your average Pinto, it's still that awful 4 cylinder engine and Ford emissions-era carburetor that wasn't exactly fast when new and has trouble getting out of its own way nowadays on modern gas. I can't imagine how much fun it is to drive with the AC actually on with that massive compressor that's half the size of the engine.

    An awful lot of money for a car with some pretty scary looking rust in ugly places. Considering the condition of the belts this car is going to need some major love to bring it back to driving shape.

    To bad it does not have the optional Mighty 2.8L V6, I still like the orange interior, that is something you don't see often
