I know of one person that was able to get 77 material from them. something like this is best to call. could also do a search on google for factory or oem vinyl material reupholster auto. there are other sources and no... materials changed throughout the years

looks like SMS only goes up to 1975. Would the colors be the same for the later models?

OUCH!!!
I've wanted a V-8 early trunk Pinto since I was 17. At 46 I'm finally going to build a '73 Sedan...... My '80 hatch will become my son's 1st car.

Oh, so you have a swap spot.  Will the wagon be in the space?  The wagon is not for sale is it?
Will you just have Pinto parts for sale?

OUCH!!!

Nah, I think it's worth it, all the other charges for lodging and gas were worth his trip, I'm sure. In my case, I'll >easily< have over $5k in my '76 wagon once it's done. Of course, it's a ground up restoration, and not cheap!

Yeah, those costs to bring something home have stopped me cold on some killer deals.

The 76 will have some primered spots by then.  It is not fair to the spectators to show a car in that condition. ::)

Way to go Yelby. My dad used to say $500 in tires and wheels on a $500 car is what keeps the economy going.
