Hi Guys, I've been wandering the boards for awhile looking at all the pinto stuff. I've been searching for quite some time now and finally found one saturday evening on the side of the road. It was a baby blue 76 MPG wagon, I could not have asked for a car in better shape than this one.It was so amazing to see the car in such original shape as it was, the stickers in the engine bay are still there the motor is still stock the tranny is still stock, the interior is still stock minus the radio(which is gone) the worst part about the car is the carpet under the drivers floor is worn away. I just had found a 75 runabout that someone cut the firewall out of and installed a 302 and 4spd, he was asking an arm and a leg for it which makes this wagon even sweeter. The reason it was being sold was the guys wife was driving the car and ran it out of oil, bang boom, a rod ends up meeting a oil pan and waaala! The ease of getting another 2.3 when the mustang guys are looking for more cubes.

I was originally thinking of doing the turbo swap but I'm going towards just keeping this one stock for right now and driving it.I will get pics asap.

I did have a question though that I have not figured out yet. What is the MPG option?

Will
