'74 Pinto Wagon
 

Wow, I remember Steve Magnante referring to his Pinto as the automotive equivalent of birth control.... It was amazingly spacious inside, though, and could swallow an entire big-block in the cargo area (never mind the effect on handling).

This would be the ultimate sleeper with a more interesting drivetrain.

Couldn't have been too many of these that survived, even in the dry southwest air.

...try to shoehorn in a Foxbody 5.0 to match those telephone dial rims.

Yeah, after seeing those wheels I was hoping it had a late model 5.0 under the hood already.

A friend used to call those wheels "egg poachers."

Back in 74, I came scary-close to trading in my 73 Z28 on a Pinto wagon to try and get better gas mileage. Luckily the Ford dealer had none in stock to my liking and I eventually came to my senses.

Green version of the Blues Brothers car...LOL

“Official Vehicle Of The Illinois Nazi Party“!

In HS we took one of these and stuffed a 351 Cleaveland in it without too much trouble, left the rest of it pretty much stock. Had a rip street racing it and replaced the rear at east a half dozen times. It finally broke a motor mount, radiator fan chewed threw the radiator and that was it's demise. Tons of fun while it ran though

Shaggin' Wagon.

My mother had the Pinto Squire Wagon,in this colour,with the fake wood trim.Man was it ugly.
