I have another one. There is a stripped 71 unibody shell and a stripped 72 body shell. There is a minor difference in a piece of sheet metal on the 71 that is different on the 72. What is it.

It the answer the rear tail pan reinforcement???

They may be different but that's not what I am thinking of.  Pintony, you have both year cars. Is the rear tail pan reinforcement different between 71 and 72? Pictures? That would be interesting early Pinto trivia.

Pintony i fill like a complete idiot. i have never registered the car because its not street legal. and as it turns out its a 73. my dads car is definitely a 71. we cant find the title to dads 2nd car and its missing the hole dash so it could be a different year. it dose have the same grill as the other cars. looks like i have a lot to learn :read:
