I think you missed your audience by a few months. We have been celebrating the 40th all across the country, you should have brought these out and you might have had a buyer and some free publicity if this story is true. Otherwise, put them on E-bay and pray for a buyer, Pintos don't sell for too much and with the economy the way it is, no one is exactly lining up to buy them. If the cars are showroom new, you may make some cash, if they are driven, don't count on too much.

That's an interesting story and, assuming the documentation you have is legitimate and can be authenticated, it should have some effect on the value. Unfortunately, as Norm pointed out, the market is a bit soft on these cars at the moment. eBay is probably your best bet with LOTS of pictures of both cars and of the documentation. Good luck!
