HA! I got one!! Married With Children, the episode where Steve sells Marcies prized Barbi. Him and Al are walking the streets of Chicago and come across some kids stealing the hub caps off a Pinto. Can only see the front fender so don't know what model.

As matter of fact I think in the first episodes Peg had one.

watchng charles angles on tv ( the original series) and in a jail brake they rear ended a pinto and the other car had an insindery device for smoke but the pinto did not catch fire and it was hit hard enough for the trunk to pop open.

I know this list has been lonely for awhile, but I had another Pinto sighting. Remember the series Twin Peaks? In season 2 episode 2 Lara Flynn Boyle's character takes over the late great Laura Palmer's Meals On Wheels route. Her first seen stop is this elderly woman shut-in and her grandson. It is suggested to the girl that she visit a "Mr. Smith next door", as he was friends of Laura's. When she walks out of the one house the parking lot can be seen in the background. A '77 or '78 brown Pinto front end can be clearly seen. I had my Pinto radar going for several episodes... then boom! there it is!

The first scene of the Seinfeld episode where they lose their car in a parking mall garage in Jersey. Blue hatch with a luggage rack.

A new show sighting! Larry The Cable Guy is into Pintos again- this time in a hilarious series called Only In America With Larry The Cable Guy. He's not actually in a Pinto... but in Season 1 Episode 1 he's talking about how moonshine led to NASCAR's beginnings. Yep... the #20 black car is an early small-bumper Pinto sedan. I've only seen this episode so far, but it's a scream and (so far) highly recommended if you like off-color humor.

The present movie Pain and Gain has a Pinto in it where it was used to smuggle a girl across the border.

Been watching old "Columbo" (rest in peace Peter) reruns. They seemed to do all the shooting on the street and there are many nice old cars driving by... tons of pintos you need to look careful as they drive by. can't tell you what episodes they are on, never paid much attention.

cheers

A few Pinto's as background vehicles in Herbie, and A sad 77 Cruising Wagon in Salton Sea. American Gigolo has a yellow hatch that Richard Gere rents when his car is out of commision.

Spotted a Pinto while watching L.A. Cops, episode 5, across the street from a guy protesting a punk store's window display. It's a Starsky And Hutch striped red one.

Here's one for ya! It is called "LoveSick" It is a love story set in the beginning of the apocalypse. Two of the four horsemen are in it. War drives a nice red and black '10 Mustang California Special and Pestulence drives a white and green 74 Pinto squire wagon. Not seen it yet? That is because it is being filmed this weekend in Tacoma at the Pegasus Restaurant. The Pinto... is mine. The director read my post of how the car was stollen and recovered. He called me because I had my phone number in the first post and said it would be perfect. When I dropped it off last night everyone was so enamored with it, it was great! Can't wait to see it.

blupinto · « **Reply #136 on:** July 27, 2013, 11:04:07 PM »

Now THAT'S a story with a happy ending! Good for you and your wagon!

I've seen a screen dump from the forthcoming movie called "Jobs" about iGuy, Steve. The dump is of him and who I think is supposed to be Woz driving around in a Pinto.

Mornblade · « **Reply #138 on:** July 29, 2013, 05:30:11 PM »

MacGyver Season one, episode three. The opening gambit takes place in a junk yard. There is at least one powder blue trunk model, and a cream colored wagon.

August 2013 episode of Continuum on SyFy. About 9 minutes in a blue 77-78 glass hatch Runabout is used as a getaway car.

In the 1977 "freaky Friday" when the adult "Annabelle" plays baseball at the park and hits a home run that's bounces in the trash can......there are two cinnamon brown squire wagons parked on either side of the street in the background. The closer is a small bumper. The other a 75 with rallyes.

how in the world has this thread gone so far and nobody has mentioned one of the most iconic car chase movies in the history of movies?

? bullit.....

flash041 · « **Reply #142 on:** September 14, 2013, 10:34:36 PM »

1980 Get Smart movie "The Nude Bomb" saw a yellow wagon in front of a Nova and what may of been a silver ESS Runabout that was almost crashed into .

dholvrsn · « **Reply #143 on:** September 17, 2013, 10:36:22 AM »

Here's the Jobs trailer. The Pinto pops up near the end after 2:10 minutes in.

dga57 · « **Reply #144 on:** November 19, 2014, 02:44:37 PM »

I know this was mentioned in this thread's very first post, but I just recently discovered "CHiPS" (don't know why I never watched it in the seventies or in re-runs later, but it's all new to me) and I can't recall ever seeing so many Pintos in the traffic scenes of any show! I watched one episode last week and counted SEVEN! I realize this it probably not news to anyone else here, but it absolutely amazes me. I have now set my DVR to record the show daily so I can keep spotting Pintos (and Mustang II's, Torinos, Galaxies, Falcons, etc.)!

Isnt there a Chevy Chase / Goldy Hawn flick where during a chase scene a pinto gets lightly tapped and blows up?

SR

oldkayaker · « **Reply #146 on:** November 20, 2014, 03:45:08 AM »

No Chevy Chase or Goldie Hawn but a light tap Pinto explosion spoof with a big bumper model. I chuckle when they show the truck driver's terror as he see's the Pinto logo.

I've got to admit... that's funny!

In the movie Pain and Gain a few years ago a 1974 green Pinto very beat looking was used to smuggle a girl into the USA from Mexico. Movie was not that good.
