This was tough... I love Runabouts, and I almost picked it... but nothin' says cool (to me) like a '72 Squire wagon. Plus, more room for everything!  :)

One can never have too many Pintos!

I have had 3 Hatchbacks (Runabouts) and even though I love my Sedandelivery the Runabouts were my favorites.

I've owned a trunk and Runabout...hav e to say I prefer the latter. Not really crazy about any of the wagons, but I'm warming up to them. Runabout gets my vote...

I have had two Runabouts and one sedan but would really like to have a 77 Squire Wagon. That was the family car my parents had in the 80s and if I could get one just like it I would in a heartbeat.. Even if it meant giving up my 77 sedan & 80 Runabout.

My story is the same as most of you. I went looking for a pinto to re-experience my youth. I could not find a pinto that I thought was worth my time and money. I found a 77 bobcat instead. I was disappointed at first but now I am glad. It is much more rare, it drives and performs the same. It is more unique than a pinto but still fills that void in my life.

I would have to go with the 71-73 Runabouts. I love the early front ends (wasn't sure if they really changed in 74 or 75 so i just said 73) and i like the full hatch of the Runabout.  Honestly, the perfect blend to me would be a 71-73 with the latter (74-80) 2.3 and a 4-speed...i mean using all "original" Pinto/Bobcat parts...
