Title: My 1977 CW
Post by: 77pintocw on September 05, 2009, 07:47:19 PM
Hi Folks:

Attached is a pictures of part of the information from
the report that I received from Marti Auto Works about
my 1977 CW.  If the information is accurate my Pinto
truly is one-of-kind!   :surprised:

When you consider that there were approximately three million Pintos built, having a true "one-of-a-kind" is nothing less than amazing :surprised:

That is so cool! I need to do that to all my cars! Which Marti package did you do? I know that there is one for like $250. How much was yours?

Hey Pintopower:

I got the Elite Report for $220.00, here is the link:

http://www.martiauto.com/reports2.cfm (http://www.martiauto.com/reports2.cfm)

I think it is worth the 220 bucks to get all the info.
If you get one be sure to give them all the information
on your door tag including the weights.

Also, I found it interesting that almost 40% of the Pintos
made in 1977 were station wagons.

THANKS FOR THE LINK!!  I am going to have to get two of the basic ones (46.oo) for my wagon and coupe to make sure my theory is right and that they were built on the same day

Hey 78squirewagon:

Here is a picture of the information about my build dates.
My car was produced on March 2, 1977, fourteen days behind
schedule.

It will be interesting to see if your theory is right.  Why
do you think they were built on the same day?

Oh, I found out that 'bucked' means 'welded the body together'.  So I believe in this case, the date the car was bucked would be the date the individual body panels (roof, floor pans, quarters, etc.) were welded together to make a unibody.
