Here's a copy of an ad in the classified ads section of the website:

ID#1340   Posted September 20, 2004   Expires January 18, 2005

Year : 1977
Model : Sedan
Engine : 1600cc
Asking Price : Negotiable
Location : Ohio
Description:
I have an 77 Ford Pinto.. Little rust on the body. Interior is in decent shape for a 77. Runs good just needs some TLC. Brake line on rear driver side was replaced, has brand new battery also has new oil gasket. Needs a transmission pan gasket.If your interested in seeing some pics feel free to email me @ dewme30@aol.com.


I was actually going to buy this car at one time, but I found a 78 Pinto for $300 with all the spare parts I need. It's a little rough, but the car runs good. The body's in good shape, and the car does fire right up with no problem.

It might take her a day or so to respond, but she will. She really wants someone to buy it and put it to good use. I used to have some pix of it, but I deleted them

A couple cons with it are, needing the tranny gasket, she will not let you drive it away, the horn does not work, and the radio is an aftermarket, so it doesnt work, and it does leak oil out the valve cover, and pan gasket.

It does have some rust on it, but no holes, and no frame rot.
