Title: Jade Pinto on eBay

Reserve on it.
It's in NY area.

The article had a sarcastic tone, and I don't agree with his statement, "The Pinto was not known for its great styling." He's nuts! One lady looking at my car exclaimed, "This Pinto is stinking adorable!" That says it all!
Anyway, I'm watching the green one on eBay; no bids yet. (Wonder what the blue round thing is sticking out of the driver side air vent)

Post by: caravan3921 on March 25, 2023, 08:02:10 PM: The eBay green pinto didn't sell, reserve not met.
Starting bid $8,000 and bidding didn't even make it up to $9,000.
Only 2 bidders as well.
On a brighter note, a Corevett owner got all excited today about my Pinto!

Then he said "You are a cool guy and that's the coolest car I have ever seen." I corrected him. I said I am just a regular guy, the rest is true.Bill

I just see the 1973 Pinto is back on eBay listed at $9,500 or best offer.
It will probably go this time. If I had the garage space I'd buy it.
