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.

Des, I think Ted Buddy had one too.

Cheers

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:
