Pinto Car Club of America

Hello,

My Dad has a 1977 Cruise Wagon that he purchased new in Dec of 76'.  It came with a so called "spring package" that has the turbine wheels, side stripes and a front valance.  It's a 4cly 4spd car, bare bones.  It also has aluminum bumpers on it, which we haven't seen before nor can we find to replace the slightly damaged rear.  Just looking for some feedback to see if this is something special or not.  We are planning on doing some resto-mods to it soon, but didn't want to ruin something special if it were the case.  Here is a pic of the car in it's almost unmolested state (less the lowering my uncle did in the two year period he had it).

Thanks,

looks real nice, There is a Vin decoder onthe site (If its working) that will be able to tell you more about the car. I love the Rims. those are awesome.

I have a 78 exactly like that one except the wheels, with 4 spd, dash gauges, tach and miniconsole.  Also have a 77 with a V8, almost nothing stock.  The bumpers on both way about 5 lbs, don't know if they are aluminum but they are light!  Have ant parts for sale or need any?

All 77-78 Pintos had the same aluminum bumpers no special bumpers on the cruise wagon. Some had rub strips and guards bolted on.
