PS: Just kidding!:tongue:

Dave,

That is the antique place in downtown Greenville. He is a master at finding estates and buying them.

Thanks Roger, didn't realize that. I see an older Jeep and a VW back there too. Road trip!:biggthumpup:

Thanks, close call :)

LOL younger me and future retired me would buy it and have it sit in the garage.

And then like chevyman0429 said:

Why does that car call my name so much???

I can see it painted up as a Barrie Pool/John Elliot/Lance Hill (I know he is all Chevy) Border Bandits Bad Ass MF drag car!!

And a 4 speed, for heavens sakes!!!

I know, Right? That car is calling me for some unknown reason.

This old photo of a family photo showed up in my FB memories today :-)

After my Cutlass and VW, a Lil Red Express, then a Pinto?

Ryan W31

Sherri's first car was a Pinto. You know how some folks have a real soft spot for their first car? She told me if I bring home a Pinto, it's all over. One of us is moving out.

I saw one on of these on the road yesterday. Had some personality.

Thanks,

Jason

reminds me of the Pinto wagon in the Blues Brothers movie...or is my old age acting up again?

Mmmmwwwaahhaahhaaaa…cough, cough….oh, sorry.:grin:

Seems as though my little post has created quite the emotional reaction.:biggthumpup:

I’m telling ya…….I’m close. Roger will go with me to tow it home until you (whomever) can get shipping arranged to your planet of residence!:biggthumpup::hmmm:

Cheers
Dave

PS: Lil’ Red Express? I got an 85 D150 calling your name Ryan!:biggthumpup:

I watched a very good documentary on Sam Little, the most prolific serial killer in U.S. history, he drove a brown Pinto Wagon exactly like this one, with wood paneling on the sides, in which many of his victims met their demise:eek2:. I now get chills every time I see one....so I'm out :frown:

I dare you to buy it. I dare ya to show Kelly this as your next project after the 507...

Bashton

Hmmm….yeah, ya know, Kelly has been amazingly understandable on my classic clunker catastrophes, but I don’t think she’d even stand for this coming home.:no:

Des, I think Ted Buddy had one too.:shocked:

I think you're right on Bundy. Did they have the exploding gas tank issue fixed up by '73? Or was that mostly a two-door hatchback issue?

Ok it seems the Wagons were not included in the recall:

That was actually a young woman who left her gas cap off after a fill-up, stopped on the roadside to put it back on and was rear-ended by a van doing about 60. Gas shot out of the open filler and ka-boom, the exploding Pinto legend was born.

Maybe that Pinto was a really good deal after all. Just came across this one tonight with a $7500 ask...wow:
