hi if I am going to a show cruise in or a club meeting I always take my wagon.i am a member of a local car club called the 209 rustbuckets.we get invited to the Modesto nuts baseball games and we show our cars on the concourse of the stadium .I also go to local car shows and get a lot of interest on folks who had a pinto growing up and younger people who have never seen a pinto.i have a fordpinto.com decal on my front windshield and talk up the club when I get the chance. Chris in ca.

I show mine almost every weekend during the car season at cruise nights or shows or special events. I get constant comments about the looks and get winks from the ladies when they peek into the back of the wagon. Unlike the older 40s and 50s cars everybody either rode one as a kid, drove one as a teen or crashed one. They all know someone who had one. All closet pinto lovers. 

I just got the Pinto on the streets a few weeks ago, took it to a show at our VA hospital. It was not a judged show, but still had quite a few people spend some time looking the Hot Rod over. Do plan to make some PCCA events next year and show it and race it.

I bought this 74 in a package deal with an enclosed trailer for my race Pinto. I was invited to show the car at my old high school for an all years reunion. It was a hoot. I got a lot of attention on the drive to and from the show as well as the show. Thumbs up and people screaming out their car windows as I drove by. It is dead bone stock with original paint, vinyl top, interior and 28,950 miles. 2.0 C-4. I put a copy of the original sticker in the window and my graduation tassel hanging from the rearview mirror. Like posted above, everyone had a pinto story. No awards where given out but it did make the Facebook page of the local news paper. They parked me next to a "Vega". It just happened to be a Facel Vega not a Chevy Vega. How ironic...
