It is always better to start out with a car in excellent condition and this car sure looks like it fits that description.

You say that like it's a bad thing?!?!?!?!  Orange Pintos are my favorite... especially when they have black interiors!

Hard to tell from a photo.  Definitely NOT the same color as my 1974's "5W" orange, but doesn't exactly look red either.  Either way, me likey!!!

Now Ruby is what you might call "orangish-red" on account of her Bright Red fading a tad over the last 40-odd years.  ;D
