Hi Chad tell the guy I will buy it for $500.00 soon as I get home. Fred :)
I am already trying to make a deal with him Fred! I want it! LOL
OK Kim go for it. If not let me know. Fred :)
Thanks Fred! Your the man!!! ;D
I talked to hubby and he is willing to borrow the truck from our friend and take a day off work so we can go get the wagon if we buy it! Boy all in one breath!! LOL
If all goes right with the rust factor, pink slip factor, and non op factor. Ok, maybe not the rust or non op factors, or pinkslip for that matter! LOL If all goes right, I'm hoping to be a wagon owner in a week or two!!!!!!
I'm excited and hope it all works out!! Cross your fingers for me!!!! ;D ;D ;D
I knew if i put it up here after talking to the guy i could help him sell it. I was perusing Craigslist and i saw it. looks like a gem to me. rough but a gem none the less. Thank you Kim. and thank you Fred. i Also have a 1990 Toyota Celica for sale 230k. good motor and trans. Just need the rear trunk hing replaced. I already Fixed one but they used the wrong year on the other side Its white on Grey of anyone knows someone its 1100 for the car. 2.2l Auto PS PB AM/FM cd i think
Chad, thanks alot for the tip on this wagon!! I have been looking for a decent wagon for a little while now! Well, actually for a decent wagon I can afford!! LOL
I am 99.9% positive I will buy it. In fact, if it wasn't for my hubby wanting some more details, I would probably be paying for it now! LOL Darn husbands! :lol:
I"m all ready trying to think of names for it! Hard to do with only one pic of it! LOL
Had i the transport and Cash i would be on the road already. It looks pretty clean. Ive seen several on CL lately in the Phoenix area. only wagon that was Affordable was that one. I would like once you get it to post pics and what not so we can see what she looks like.
and Im glad i could help kim.
If I remember right, he told me it was brown on the inside. (This is why I like emails more then phone calls, my memory sucks! LOL) He started to paint it black though. The outside appears to be white.
The first name I came up with is White Chocolate, then my other name is White Mocha! LOL That is all I can think of right now! I know I shouldn't be thinking of names, but as long as he will let me have first chance at it, meaning he won't sell it till I get the info I asked about, then it will most likely be mine anyway! LOL
As you can all tell, I get pretty anxious when I see something I want! LOL Again, I say, darn husband! LOL
Ok, I'm calling him back tomorrow and asking my questions that I emailed him today! LOL I really want this car!! Guess I better get busy and get another motor running for it!! LOL
I hope you can get whats in it to work first. then you would be good to go ya know.

use trans fluid it will free it up in a very short time. I had one i used penetrating oil and reg oil and it still would not budge after 2 weeks ( i broke a braker bar on it) some one sugested trany fluid i cleaned out the oils that had been soaking and put the trany fluid in and by the time i got my tools out it was moving some and with in a half hr. i could turn it by hand. neved did end up using the block but it is my garage and almost 2 yrs later i can still turn it by hand.
phil
Ok, I called the guy back again today and asked the questions hubby wanted me to ask. Some of the answers were great, some not so great! I am now waiting on some more info, then I will be able to determine if we will get the car! I mean, if it was up to me alone, I would go for it, but I have to get that "ok" from the hubby! LOL I hope to know by tomorrow if things will work out!
On another note, I found out that the car was a squire and that the guy pulled off the wood panels. The car is actually in primer grey. Not white! Didn't think to ask him what color it was at one time. LOL I am going to guess it was brown, do to it haveing brown interior at one time! What's your guesses?? Don't call and ask either!! LOL
my wagon had Brown interior on white with wood grain outside. so it could be anything. look in the Jambs when you get the car. and im sure youll get it.

I know what color it was!!! Randy's Mom sent me more pics!!! It was lime green!!(http://i106.photobucket.com/albums/m247/myhrdly/ohyea.gif)
Ok, White chocolate is out! LOL
I will know by sometime (hopefully early) if we will be getting it!!!!! I'm almost positively positive we will!! Hubby is already talking about driving almost 1000 miles for another Pinto!!! ;D
I'll let you all know how things go as soon as I can tomorrow!!! Cross your fingers and send good juju!!!!! ;D
Thats great to hear Kim, you could call it the Lima bean =)
...or Margarita! Mmmmm! Drunk on Pinto happiness! lol. If the pic I saw was her, she looks off-white. What's with you and painted-over lime green Pinto anyway, Kim? ::) Anyway, why not have TWO more Pintos? Hubby Bobby can have the one he found, and Margarita can be yours! Win Win situation! ;D Lethergetit, lethergetit, lethergetit...JuJu coming at ya! ;D
Hey, while you're at it, swing by and buy my Pinto from me...its in Hesperia too!!
What's your Pinto? There's one in Antelope Valley that I'd actually forsake the Flying Avocado for! And that's saying a lot!
I'd give up my '72 AND one of my '79 Lincolns to get that gorgeous '78 Squire that's on eBay right now!!! :amazed:
Dwayne :smile:
That green one? Yeah, it is beautiful! The one I'm drooling on is a '75 Squire with (get this): Saddle Bronze Metallic (like Wildfire, my '74) and a V6 automatic. It also sports those mag wheels I love (the forged aluminum slotted ones with the center caps). Too bad they want like $1500 for it. :-\
The Ansen Style rims? or the Just plain Jane Slotted mags? Becky link the one your lookin at if you can
I don't know how to link but it was on craigslist LA... are you gonna snatch it out of my reach...? >:( :devil: :laugh: The wheels are the ones that were optional on the Pintos and Mustang IIs.
Just wanted to look and the Coding to make a link here is [ url ] [ /ur l Minus the Spacing
I have 4 of those rims 2 With Caps. They are for Sale but Keep in mind the new Tread doesnt come with 2 of em. all Come as the rim no tires. (2 are on my bobcat atm) im trying to find a couple decent front rims I can toss on to sell the ones on the Front. I havent had the time to Order or pay for the ones I am getting. I did Order the 5 lug Front Rotors for the car tho.
I'm too computer illiterate to get that... sorry. :P
I saw it already. Same rims I have. Ansen Style.
This one is my Pinto...
http://www.fordpinto.com/index.php/topic,5763.0.html (http://www.fordpinto.com/index.php/topic,5763.0.html)
The white one near the bottom
I'm fortunate that the tires my babies are blessed with are in decent shape. How much were you asking for the wheels and the caps you do have? Do the caps have the foal kicking on them? ;D
http://asp.americanracing.com/dealerline/blackimages/mega/mVN3093.jpg (http://asp.americanracing.com/dealerline/blackimages/mega/mVN3093.jpg) these are what will be on the car
the two I have have the kicking horse. 150 plus ship, bujt I gotta get Spares first lol once I get the rims I want the Centerlines are also going up for sale
PP its a nice ride. but Im a bobcat Kinda guy. I have one 75 wagon and am workin on getting a 76 wagon dont let my Photo fool ya its a 1975 Merc Bobcat with the Pinto Cruizer panels.
Nice wheels 75Bob! Lol. yeah, I'll be patient. You'll have to be more patient, I'm afraid. Arnold S. is talking about cutting my wages another 5%- a grand total of almost 20% of my pay so things are really tight. In other words, no worries, no hurry. :P
Oh, I was talking to Pintogirl!!
I just scrapped a 75 Squire wagon, and unfortunately, I have too many projects.
This Pinto has to go.
I did get fooled... she's a nice wagon. Did they ever do a Bobcat cruising wagon?
Pinto Pro, I knew you were but you had my curiousity piqued! ;D

No the did not Make a Cruising version, My dad when he owned the car, bought them at a p&p for 50 bucks windows and all. didnt have the trim parts but the rest was there. he brought them home and Promptly installed them .. lol Been that way ever since. I love the car. its been in my family now since I was 6 years old. im the 4th owner. Very first owner was Hertz rent-a-car in Los angelos CA. Second was the impound yard it was at. then my dad then me lol =)
That's one well-loved Bobcat! Is that pearlescent white paint I see on her? ;D Very pretty!
Stock color code. Not sure but i think its Glacier white. or polar white. That wont stay. Im using the OE 2003 Mustang LAser red. with Platinum Silver Stripes up the hood and Down the Hatch Skipping the Top of the car. Kind of a mix between the Classic Chevy stripe and the Shelby Stripe. too much top for stripes lol.
Ok, I told Randy I would buy the car!!!!! ;D ;D We will go next Sat the 25th, to pick it up!!!!! (http://i106.photobucket.com/albums/m247/myhrdly/cheerleader.gif)

That's all the pics that Randy's Mom took! I will take more once I get the car!! Will also post some pics of the parts that came with it!!!
Hehehe!! I was just looking over the pics again and I noticed that the front bumper has the holes for the tippies!!!! I have a brand new set of tippies already!!!! Yippee!!! LOL Just need to black rubber that goes on the bumper though! LOL, My tippies have that rubber on them! Then again, maybe I don't! LOL Maybe the tippies had the rubber and the bumper didn't!!!
Ok, I sure wish it was the 25th! LOL Funny thing is, I can't even drive it till we can get a motor and trans in it! LOL But I can putter!!!! Yah, I'm excited!! LOL :lol: ;D
looks good. So you got the pink slip stuff Squared away then ? Im glad for it. Im also glad I was able to help Randy and you out with this.

Well, kinda! LOL I can tell you that it hasn't been registered since 88. So it is still on file, I don't know how but it is. So that means we will have to get a bill of sale from Randy and also have the bill of sale from the shop he got it from to him. Then see what DMV has to say. So it's not going to be to fun on that part, but hubby said to go ahead and buy it and we will deal with it! He also knows it isn't reported stolen ( I doubted it would have been, LOL), but that is all he could find out at this time.
I'm not sure what we will do exactly yet as far as back fees. That is if there will be any at all! Fred said they didn't have non ops in 82, but I"m not sure when they started having them. If it was after 88, we should be ok and not have to pay back fees. If we do have to pay back fees, we will have to have the car turned in for junk, then revived! So that would mean a salvaged title. Not good, but better then paying 20 years of back fees! LOL I just don't see how this thing is still on file?? Maybe someone started a transfer then never finished, don't know. I havn't talked to Randy about that, but from what he has told me, it didn't sound like he did that!
Guess I will find out when we go get the car! LOL
If you are purchasing the car you shouldnt have to pay the back fee's on the Vehicle Ive never had to do that on any car ive ever had. only Title Transfer fee. you are taking possesion of a car that hasnt been on the road since 1982 which means there should be no registration fee's at all. its something you can fight and Usually win with with DMV. they have tried to get me before but Never succeded. The Prior owners were responsible for those fee's not you. or the car.
It used to be a Squire? I like wagons. It just looks like bullet holes, that's all :lol:
Have fun with your new toy, Kim!
I lived in Granite Bay in 1996. I bought a 73 Datsun, but never registered it in CA because they wanted $400 in back fees for my $200 mustard yellow 610 4door(didn't matter to them if I paid it or the prev owner paid it). Things might have changed since then. I drove it back here and registered it for $36. I couldn't afford to drive if I lived in CA.
Chuck :afro:
Yah, in CA, the fees go with the car! Isn't that nice!!! :mad: I don't think it should work that way, but that is how they make more money. That will also mean my wagon (if it doesn't already have one) will have a salvaged title! I will have to wait and find out more of the details when I go pick it up! I'm getting it no matter what!! LOL It really won't matter if it has a salvaged title because I am going to customize it eventually anyway! ;D
Only bad thing is, I would have to most likely have a lien sale done on it, which takes a little over 30 days to complete. That is another 30 days I can't have the car! Bummer! Then once it cleared, the tow yard could junk it, then I would have to do a brake and light inspection, and then I could register it for alot less!!
I wonder what 20 years of back fees would come up to be? LOL Couple grand??? LOL
Stop me if I'm trippin', but doesn't the car fall off the "books" after 7 years? I've been told that by a couple car-savvy people but I don't have the inside scoop on Limeade. Or whatever you'll name your new baby. Didn't I tell you I visualized you getting it Kimmy!? I'll bet it has the coveted Squire inner door panels too. You know where to send those if you're not feeling them! ::) ;) ;D Life is looking good at Pinto Ranch! :laugh:

Yes Becky, you are almost right! LOL I called DMV and they said that it falls off the books after 5 years! BUT, if someone calls on it and gives DMV the vin and plate numbers, it is then back in their system. Don't ask me how that all works, but that is what the DMV lady told me. She didn't want me to give her any numbers, just in case it did drop out of their systems, it would still be out when I went to reg. it. Then I wouldn't have to pay any back fees.
I will check with DMV once we get the car! If it is in the system, it will be junked!
PG dont Junk it. if you think it is worth fixing at all. I will help you out. You can reg it using My address from CA. Avoid the fee's =). AZ doesnt do that with cars. thank freakin heaven for that. you dont have to pay Penalties for someone elses screw ups with registration, you pay to reg it thats all.

Thanks for the offer Chad! I may take you up on that if all else fails!
But, don't you all think if I make a cruising wagon out of it, it would lose it's value anyway?? I'm going to buy some cruising wagon panels and weld them on! Well I think anyway, never tried to do anything like that, not sure if one would weld it or maybe there is another way of attatching them?? I'll figure that out once I have the car and the panels! LOL ;D
I will still take you up on the offer, and keep the title clean though, that is if it comes to it! ;D
the CW panels Screw on. Mine are going to be welded filled and Molded in. so lots of work but will be worth it in the end. If you plan to CW it go for it. Its not got the motor in it anyways so why not.

Do you take the original windows out of the car or just leave them in and screw/weld the panels over them?
have to remove the windows.
anytime. never thought this would be a 4 page thread lol.
It will probably get to 5 or 6 pages before next week!! LOL It's going to be a long one waiting for Sat. 25th to get here!!!! LOL ;D
Thats ok with me.
3 more days till we leave to go get the Shaggin Wagon!!!!!!! ;D ;D ;D ;D No, I'm not excited!!! LOL :lol: ;D
hehe, Im sure the Suspense is Killing ya too.
Not including today, only 1 day left!!!!!!!!!! (http://i106.photobucket.com/albums/m247/myhrdly/cheerleader.gif) I work all night tonight so I will sleep most of tomorrow, then 3am Sat. morning comes will early!!!!!!!! ;D ;D The Shagon Wagon trip is almost here!!!!
Ok, so far I have decided I want to put the remote controlled sport mirrors on it. That will also be in line with making it into a 'cruisin wagon'!! I am hoping it won't be a problem to run the cables in a non sport mirror car! Also, believe it or not, I think if the carpet is ratty, I may go with the times, and put... wait for it...... SHAG carpeting in it!!!!!! (http://i106.photobucket.com/albums/m247/myhrdly/ohyea.gif) I liked Becky's shag and the Pinto at the scrap yard with the shag looked good too. Now the only problem would be is finding shag, and finding it cheap enough to get for a car!!! :amazed: ;D
I also figured that if I can't find any cruisin wagon panels, I will tent to windows a dark tint for now. May even check into that stuff that is colored on the outside, but can see through from the inside. If I could afford that and have it the same color of the car (or close to it) I think it would look neat!!
As you can see, I don't think about the car often!!! LOL
Oh, and I think I will name it The Shagon Wagon! Not going to hold to it yet though, don't know what the characteristics of the car is yet. But for now, it's The Shagon Wagon!! Besides, if I get Shag carpet for the insides, that would match it's name too!! LOL Maybe I should make some tie dyed curtains for it!!!!! LOL
hehe sounds good Kim. sounds like fun
Kim, you crack me up!! :lol: :lol: Love the emoticons! Someone had some dancing hotdogs, was that you?! :laugh:

Oh Kimmy I'm so excited for you!!! :happy_bday: ;D :D :drunk: :lol:
Many moons ago (no, not when Matt came to the "pool" without his shorts! lol.) I pulled inner door panels (the black ones in my gallery) off a Pinto Squire that had adorable little curtains in it. Naturally I thought "if those curtains could talk..." Shag wasn't in my vocab in those days- at least not the curtain-worthy meaning!
GO KIMMY! GO KIMMY! GO KIMMY!
Thanks Becky!!
Hey, I was going through the gallery and I noticed you don't have pics of your wagon in you album!! What's up with that! LOL ;D
What!? Oh, I guess I didn't put 'em in. he he. I'll rectify that soon. :)
...waiting in anticip...........ation..... ;D
Chuck :afro:
also waiting to hear whats up.
She's probably almost there by now... and probably conked out on the drive. It's hard for some to sleep when it's Xmas in July! :lol:
I am sure she did or she was too exited to sleep and is now asleep on the way home or is at home crashed out.
LOL You guy's are funny!! ;D
Well, after a 20 hour drive, I am finally awake!!!! We are going to go get breakfast, then we will start the unloading process!! It took us around 2 hours to load everything!! They had it all spread out so we could see everything so I took pics!! I will post them up later today after I get it all unloaded!
I think I got a pretty good deal!! One thing I can share now before the pics, there is no carpet!!! You know what that means??? SHAG!!!! LOL
More later!!!!! ;D ;D
looking forward to it kim
YAY!!! SHE GOT IT!!! SHE GOT IT!!! WOOO HOOO!!!!! See? I told you you would get her! I knew it in my heart. Now spill those pix! We're waiting... ;)
Ok, here are some pics!!
This is on the way, we didn't know this guy but he was in the way of my shot, so he ended up in it! LOL Going through the dessert!

I think it was a pretty good deal all in all!! I even ended up with another early grille!! It is in good shape except two tabs on one side are broke off. I have one of the tabs so I will try to fix it, but if all else fails, I will rig a way to keep that side on. Atleast it has all its teeth!! LOL
WOW :surprised: Kim!
What a haul! I'd say you did VERY well!!! Can't wait to see pics of the wagon!
Dwayne :smile:
You got all that from Hesperia!? Dwayne's right- WHAT A HAUL! But now I wanna see the Shaggin' Wagon! Say- what are you doing with those aluminum slot wheels? And that fan shroud? ;D
almost another car in parts keep it up and you will be in compition with fred as pars vandor.

Holy crap No wonder he was tryin for a grand lol there are lots of parts there. What size are those Mags? im glad you got it. even more so now sheesh thats alot of stuff.. Well worth the trip
Hey! I got dibs on those wheels! lol. :lol:
lol =) fine by me they looked bigger then the 13's I have already
Yah, it was quite the haul! Truck bed stuffed full and the inside of the car was stuffed full! Some of the parts were for the wagon, some were from a later model wagon, and some were from a hatch back!
Sorry to say, but the wheels don't match. I think there is one of one kind, maybe 2 or three of another kind, and again one of another! They look close to being the same, but once they are together you can see the differences. I will take better pics of them tomorrow if I get time. I'm not sure what size they are. I can measure them tomorrow too, again, if I get time! I really want to wash the Shagon Wagon!! LOL
Yah, I think I got a pretty darn good deal. I got a lot of parts, but some are good, some are ok, and some were just something! LOL
Is that a tan interior door (deluxe) panel I see in one of the pix? It's on the ground. Does it have the filly on it?
As for the wheels, if you are thinking of selling any of them I really only need one. It has a black stripe around it like these wheels. IO thought I had four matching but when I tried to polish one of them it wouldn't come out shiny! The stripe wasn't quite as wide as the other Ford ones so that told me it doesn't match.

Yes, it is a cream color panel with the filly. I think it is the original one out of the wagon. I also think the PO may have painted the other one black, but just never got to that one. I havn't looked at the black one close enough yet to see if that is what he did though! I will be putting the cream one back on the wagon, and then eventually look for another cream one to match!
I don't think these wheels have the black stripe or ever had a spot for one! I will take some better pics tomorrow! I do have only one really shiney one though. The rest are more of a dull alluminum!
All four of the wheels I have looked dull like the ones in the picture- til I Mother'd them! lol. Can you put paint thinner on the black indoor panel if it was painted? Whatever you do DON'T THROW THAT BLACK PANEL AWAY!!! lol

Throw away a Pinto part!!!!!! How could those words even come out of your mouth? You better go out to your Pintos and ask for forgiveness! LOL :lol: :lol: ;D
Yah, I won't throw it away! LOL It will be on the car for a while! This is the first set (besides yours) that I have seen. Even in about 4 or so Pintos I have seen at the scrap yards, there were no panels like these!! I was thrilled to finally have some!! ;D I think they are cool with the filly on them!!
I may try to customize my back door with the panel if I ever do find the right one for the passenger door. That is if it will fit on the inside of the back door? Maybe to long. I was thinking I could put fancy buttons in the holes for the handles and stuff on attach it to the door. Like I said, it is proably to long though! It was just a thought, I just thought of! LOL ;D
Well, you do have that tan panel off... go ahead and "fit" it on the inner hatch door. In my gallery pix under Pinto Treasures I have a different panel design- same filly, different "wood" trim. You could make something like that work! I'm still kicking myself for not buying those whole panels back in the early '90s. Sometimes I can be a moron... :cheesy_n:
