is there a ford pinto ghia? i heard there might be but im not sure. do you guys know?
I don't believe so...but there was a Mustang II Ghia Edition...which was basically a Mustang body on a Pinto frame and engine. See attached picture.
From a Ghia owner (VW, that is)...
That is the exact style mustang II that i learned to drive in when i was 8
I SO want a Mustang II Ghia! Ghias also graced early Fox-body Mustangs/Capris and Granadas/Monarchs. Not sure about the Fairmonts/Zephyrs. Locally there's a MII Ghia in root beer brown with white vinyl-top with the "pillow" on the vinyl. Sadly, a) it's trapped by a 5th wheel in the backyard with no way to move it (and the owner is renting that living space as well) and b) it has a good-sized rust cancer where the roof meets the windshield. It has factory a/c and is a '74. I want to adopt it so bad I can taste it! My favorites are the MII Ghia V8s with the opera windows. Drool City!
Don't think the Fairmont/Zephyr line ever had a Ghia, unless you count the more recently produced Australian models.
The sportier, upgraded version of the 1978-83 Ford Fairmont was Futura, and for the Mercury Zephyr it was Z-7.

So, it does not look that hard to make a Pinto Ghia. This gives me an idea for my coupe. A 1/2 vinyl roof and a couple of emblems :D

I was DROOLING I TELL YOU DROOLING!!!! looking at that Ghia. Gold with black vinyl-top and opera windows... there's also (or was) a white on white Ghia. Sadly, the gold one is a '77- a smog year car. Still...sigh...
