The colour was called Medium Lime Yellow. Like 1975Pinto's my interior is also avocado green, with an avocado green carpet.

I thought that I wouldn't consider this, but... I might be selling my pinto. I haven't made my mind up, but I don't know what to do because I have to drive from; highschool, work, then to college and I can't force myself to drive it in the snow. I've been thinking about buying a 300 dollar beater, but cant really afford to have insurance on both cars...

Is their anyone who will talk me out of selling it?

Cookieboystoys · « **Reply #32 on:** December 21, 2007, 10:19:02 AM »

you could buy a beater... pull the insurance off the Pinto and just insure the beater for the winter...

that's what I do.... in the summer when I can drive em' I insure all the cars I have and might possibly drive (4 Pinto's, Conversion Van, Grand Am and 1 motorcycle) but right now I only have insurance on 2 of them and one is the 78 Pinto I just bought but don't want to drive now the snow has started...

That's what I would do....

Dont' sell it. You will KICK yourself for years, maybe decades. Go with Cookieboy's idea.

Chances of the Pinto getting stolen while uninsured are not that high. Pinto fans are a very select group...

If you pull the insurance make sure the car isn't registered. If it's registereed most states require you to have liability, and if it's like Ohbio they can check at any given moment.

1975 Pinto,
DO NOT sell your Pinto !!!
As mentioned above, you will regret it later. Hang on to your awesome find. It is a RARE ride man!
Everyone drives Toyotas, Nissans, Cobalts, Fusions and so on. Not everyone has an old car to drive.
Especially an old economy car like a nice Pinto. Get a beater. I have collector car insurance on my
1977 Cobra II through Grundy Insurance. They specialize in old cars. I have full coverage at agreed
value and it costs me only $128.00 for a rear's coverage. My Cobra has seen NO WINTERS in 31 years
and it shows.
So please do what you can to keep it.
Cobrabob.

Oops! My last Post should read "Year's coverage". Sorry.

Beautiful car Cobrabob8! I've always admired the Cobra Mustangs but there are next to none left in existence.

Comprehensive insurance (theft and vadalism) is not expensive. I have it on my Crusing wagon and the 73 and it is like $10 every 6 months for $100 deductable, however I do not have them insured for much. It may be a little more as your car is worth more. I would get a beater and just swap insurance during the nice months. Good luck

1975 pinto · « **Reply #39 on:** January 13, 2008, 05:55:06 PM »

I don't think i'm going to sell it, this winter has been easy as far a snow here, I will have to figure something out for the future... As far as insurance, being a 17year old male they are after me... I pay $60 a month just for liability and thats with no accidents or tickets. Living in Ohio I have to at least carry liability like r4pinto stated. After I graduate which will hopefully be in June

then I will be home free because I will be able to work 60 or more hours a week to support the pinto and a junker, until college starts up but I will still be able to work enough to support them. But it should all work out.

I did look at collector car insurance (I forget which company) but it was expensive and it had a mileage limit, and I thought that defeated the whole purpose of owning the car. But I will start checking other companies out.

crazyhorse · « **Reply #41 on:** January 13, 2008, 07:08:44 PM »

Most companies will do agreed value policies. No mileage limits.

WOW! Your car is beautiful! Great condition!

Love the color, love the car, enjoy it.

Well.. my car is about to break 10,000 miles.

1975 pinto · « **Reply #46 on:** April 09, 2008, 08:52:39 PM »

I was lucky enough to get rear ended today

Luckely the lady only hit me from like 3-4 mph and it didnt really do any damage. It just scratched the bumper slightly, but it can be shined out. The worst part, she acted like nothing happened. :wow:

dga57 · « **Reply #47 on:** April 10, 2008, 01:15:00 AM »

Well that just totally sucks! Glad you weren't hurt and the damage was minimal.

I cant believe she would just brush it off like it was nothing. Some people are just ignorant and dont understand what a jem that car is.

It's not just Pintos that people act this way, it's all cars. If they can get out of paying for repairs they will. I had some lady rear end me when I was in my 2000 Toyota Corolla, and she acted like I had some nerve being pissed about it. It's sad but true, but people don't want to own up when they hit a car, even when the car is right in front of them.

1975 Pinto.

Are you down around Miamisburg area? I work over off of Byers and I swore I saw a Pinto pulling up to the stop last year over by the Chevy dealership.

You need to get yourself and the car to All Ford Nat's in Carlisle.

1975 pinto · « **Reply #51 on:** April 20, 2008, 05:22:29 PM »

Yup, that was me. I live in Kettering, just off Bigger Rd.
