71 Pinto wagon
« on: January 01, 2005, 03:29:53 PM »
It has been a while since I owned this wagon. The little boy in the picture that is so excited to be there is now 26 years old but this was what I refer to as the best car I ever owned. I put the L4-122 Mercury Capri engine w. 4 speed in this little beast and it had a slight lift suspension and Cragar mag wheels. I owned it for 13 years and what you see is nearing the end of my ownership so it was immaculate until it was sold for exactly $100.00 MORE than I paid for it new. Mileage was nearing 200K. Please enjoy.

As far as I know, '72 was the initial model year. However, many were built in 1971 (probably after the '72 model year production begins in late summer) and most likely could have been purchased in late 1971.
I left my Pinto in front of my house last night. This morning there were two more left with it.

Lord, I am going to date myself with this one.
Back in the "Good Old Days", new car models were generally released for sale in mid-September. It was a big deal to see all of the ads, and to visit the showrooms to see next year's model. Production of, for example, 1972 models, generally began in about Late July or Early August, and the cars reached the dealers about the first week of September, but weren't displayed until about September 15th, or so.

As a kid, I would hit all of the dealerships along N. May Avenue in Oklahoma City, (Dub Richardson Ford, Nip & Van Rambler, Lynn Hickey Dodge, etc.), and fantasize about owning a new Mustang, or AMX, or Challenger.  Didn't we all do that, at one time or another? :D
But that all changed in the early 90's now they release new cars almost a full year ahead, i.e, 2005 models released in January or Febuary of 2004.  That's just dumb, IMO.

Ah, those were the good old day, when men were men, Fords were hot, and Chevy's bit the dust.

Thats cool man. I just recently dug up a pic of my old pinto (dont have scanneror i owuld share) almost brought me to tears. That cars final resting place a slavage yard it finally got crushed and is now living on in china as a manufacturing machine or somthing like that.

Just to rember seeing her sitting there in that salvage yard with no wheels and head but other wise complete was just heart wrenching. I guess you always have a connedtion to your first car.

I looked at a Pinto one time about 10 years ago and I remember it having a build date of November 1970.

Yup. That would have been a 1971 model year specimen. And I guarantee it wasn't a wagon.
