'76 Olympic edition (Canadian)
« on: November 04, 2007, 01:45:25 PM »
this was sent from a person owning a now kinda rare '76 Olympic edition (Canadian) pinto

Hi Jeff,

Finally, I've taken some pictures. You'll see that it's in pretty  
good shape, especially the interior. The carpet is a bit faded and  
there is a crack in the dash. Mileage is at 57,898.

The two back wheel wells have some rusting and there is a bit of  
surface rust along the passenger door. The back bumper has some rust,  
but all in all it's a beauty!

I hope all the pictures go through. If not, I'll send them in a few  
batches.

If anyone is interested in buying this special edition, please ask  
them to contact me.

Thanks.

Something weird about that grille.
 ???
The Pinto I had I gave to my brother. The car was originally my mom's, (78 red Pinto sedan with a 2.3 and a 4spd.) I am originally from Tucson, AZ but moved to Oxnard CA :D
I'm looking for a Pinto wagon with an automatic.

I lived in Montreal in 1976 when we had the summer Olympics.  I had a friend whose father had a 1976 Pontiac LeMans, Olympic edition.  White with a red interior, red emblems everywhere.  If I recall, there was also an Olympic version of the Chevy Malibu.

I had forgotten that Ford had an Olympic version of the Pinto.  Way cool.

BTW, have you guys seen this Bobcat on ebay?  It is in Burlington, Ontario.  About 20 minutes from where I live now.

 Maybe it is how the bumpers stand out 1FOOT beyond the car????

Thumbs up for posting pics of this car...i'd say it is rare and it does look like an uncommon grill. Maybe it is the way the pic was taken. Are there any pics straight front???
I as well am no fan of those 5 mph bumpers.
