Bought this a couple weeks ago. It's been in a trailer up here in NH for 5 years. It was driven for a week before that after being pulled out of a garage where it sat in CT for about a decade. 76k miles.
Kayewel! My favorite year of Pinto too!

Hey John, looks great, love the look with the painted hood. That car looks familiar, where in CT did you find it?

I'm more of a fan of the earlier ones, although I really can't decide if I should swap the nose or not. I kinda like how it is.

No clue where in CT, guy I know who runs a junkyard bought it there 5 years ago and apparently it had been sitting for a while before that. He buys shizod for himself from all over the country and keeps it in trailers. The hood's painted because it's from a red car. I'm pretty sure someone crashed it as the radiator support is red underneath the peeling white. The car was also gray from the factory and I'm thinking of painting it the stock gray or metallic gray down the road.
Thanks John, pretty sure it's the one I was told of... a junk yard with cars stored in trailers. nice find, hope you enjoy the new pony :D

In NH? And I'm definitely enjoying it, although I need to find the vacuum leak and tune it up.

yes, a junk yard in Wentworth NH, it was being stored in a trailer, the one I was told of, maybe the one you have isn't the same, similar story though

It's in Rumney, which is on the way to Wentworth. Are you located in the area? I know of another place in Rumney with a couple 79-80 wagons hidden out back that the guy will take an offer on. At the moment I'm buying parts off of one of them.

No, I'm in northern MN but have friends in the area keeping me updated on the Pintos available or they have seen.

Well if anyone is looking for a wagon I can show these to them. I'd like them but they need too much work for me. I don't have anywhere to put them.
