Not taking sides or anything, but 3M does make a strip that goes excactly where you see that to protect the lower panels from rust or salt damage. Sure wished my brand new 88 Mustang had it when I ruined the lower half of my doors at only 6 months old by going to the snow.

OK....
But what about those speakers???
Or the tack???
Or the Mustang weels?

Or the CD player.
It just ads up to 103400 miles.

3400 miles Come on!!!!!
Also The 3M tape was not part of the package on a 1980 Pinto.
Or

The guy likes to shop at the swap meet?

The miles are hard to believe, I had that many miles on all my cars within 1 month. When you buy a new car you look for reasons to drive it.

Pintony · « **Reply #4 on:** May 30, 2005, 11:37:57 PM »

The Seller is a car dealer

Also has hidden the identity of the bidders so I can't tell them what a fool they are.

I just hat it when people try to sell stuff to un suspecting buyers.
I had a guy at an All Ford Show tell me his 1968 mustang was all original.
Yea I guess ford messed up the paint the first time and had to re-spray it.
MAN!!! Did that car have a bunch of tape lines everywhere.!!!!!

Non Ford hose clamps / battery cable / radaitor cap / metric speedo-sae gas gage / fitting to flush heater hose / rust and dirt underneath / wheels. Those I saw in the pictures. A big rip off. Jerk selling it still calling it xxxx MILES on a metric speedo. DICK.

Now that's funny. Something I would have never caught on to.

dick1172762 · « **Reply #8 on:** May 31, 2005, 12:00:12 AM »

13413 KM should equal 81819 miles!!!! I have had Pintos with that many miles to be that clean. Let the buyer beware is the old saying.

Love that hi-tech overflow bottle on the rad. Rotonda bottle I'm sure. And please if you send the dealer a question, don't call him BUDDY.

Pintony · « **Reply #10 on:** May 31, 2005, 12:27:06 AM »

Hey Dick,
nice eye ther on the hose clamps.
I'm not even that concerned about the mechanicals.
It's that dam tape line that makes me mad!!!
What's been covered up?

What happens when you call this Jerk, BUDDY???

that tape line....its called stone guard and came on all Canadian Pintos. It's on my buddies '71, it was on my '76 and it's on my '78

Hey 78Pinto,

TONY! Its not a Canadian Pinto! All Canadian Pintos had a gas gage without the disclaimer for useing un-leaded gas. I know because I bought a KM speedo through a Ford dealer for my 80 Pinto, but Ford would not sell me the leaded gas gage or the leaded gas filler neck. So my Pinto ended up just like this one, Canadian speedo / American gas gage. Read the questions & answers at the bottom of the listing. This guy really doesn't like to be called "Buddy". He's a perfect example why people have such a LOW respect of car dealers. Don't know about the rad. Could be. There was a wagon on there for sale with super low miles a while back, and you could really see it was like new. Carpet stood up. This one lays down. DICK.

After market fuel filter / third brake lite in rear window. All adds up to 81819 miles. DICK.

Not to mention the most obvious tell-tale of all, The crooked numbers in the odometer. 103413km would be my guess. No it isn't a 6 cyl rad. The 6 has the inlet on drivers side bottom and outlet on pass side top.

I know they did it at the factory.....i'm just not 100% sure it was optional.

wagonmaster · « **Reply #19 on:** May 31, 2005, 05:16:33 PM »

The outside mirror on the driver's door does not look like any I've seen on a Pinto. It may be some undercoating, but the rearend housing covers were not painted from Ford. Also, what is that additional piece on the rear lip area on the consollette? That's definitely not original!! The car is clean, but I still have a hard time believing it has so few miles/kilometers. By the way, converting from kilometers to miles equals a smaller figure. The "mileage", using the figure given of 3413K equals 2133 miles. The car's been around long enough to accomodate all the changes, even with the low stated mileage, but I would certainly want to see all the records for the car for proof!!

Pintony · « **Reply #20 on:** May 31, 2005, 06:43:36 PM »

OK???
If the stone guard was applied from the factory, It would not have a tape line it would just be under the paint.
Right?

I saw a Piece of SH-evy have that in the early 80s. Never saw it on a Pinto.
HERE IS THE BIG BUT.
I do not have any Pinto's that new.
My likes stop at 1973,
Oh.. I have newer Pintos but I bought them just to keep them out of the crusher.
I don't rebuild them.

If my memory serves me right that was a factory option. It was a rubberised coating sprayed on before the paint was applied. I think it was an option that came out in the late 70's for all Ford Cars. When a panel was replaced after a crash the paint Shop could not match it exact and the repair was not as thick. My 93 Tempo has that on it from the Factory and it has a tape line like that.

How do you find out which car lot in seattle it is in, I'd like to look at it cause it aint that far away, maybe 40 miles??

madddoggj · « **Reply #23 on:** June 01, 2005, 08:12:51 AM »

If i remember correctly, my 77 wagon had the stone guard on it before i had it repainted. not sure, that has been 6 years. also, the radiator in that looks identical to a radiator i purchased from advanced auto parts. it was a radiator for an automatic transmission 77 with a 2.3. even had the little green sticker on it.

madddoggj · « **Reply #24 on:** June 01, 2005, 08:32:55 AM »

another thing i noticed was that there is differential fluid on the exhaust pipe. in my experience a car that is rarely/never driven, is not going to throw fluid sideways through a gasket and onto the exhaust. just my 2 cents

1955ranchwagon · « **Reply #25 on:** June 01, 2005, 03:17:07 PM »

i thought pintos speedos only came to 85 mph that one says 180 or something

kris kincaid · « **Reply #26 on:** June 02, 2005, 01:29:34 AM »

The hose clamps could easily have been changed if the radiator was pulled. If the car sat for awhile, the radiator may have needed to be boiled out. I could buy that it sat for 25 years, then somebody pulled it out and replaced hoses, belts, battery, etc so they could drive it.

Now what I find really offensive is the buy it now of $11,500.00! For a Pinto?
