Hello everyone !
Just purchased a 1974 pinto wagon from my wife's step father , he owned for 15 or so years and drove car daily up to 3-4 years ago where it sat in his driveway. Car was well taken care n maintained pretty well to my knowledge being it was his daily driver to work daily
I'll try n post pics soon k.
Thanks
Jay
Congratulations Jay! I have a '72 wagon and a '74 Runabout. Pintos are terrific little cars and I hope you have a blast with yours!

Hope to figure it out n post some soon.
Put some nice whitewalls on and washed đ
Day I bought from wife's stepfather
The drive home
Sat on 4 flat tires for awhile âšī¸
Cleaned up nice !
Cleaned up interior
Looks pretty good , but definitely gonna need some interior work. .door handles , carpet etc. .
Could use a newer stereo and speakers đ
Anybody know where I can find new nos or nice new aftermarket door handles ? đ
Body is solid and for it's year in pretty good shape đ
I'll post more pics as I do more to it.
Overall , I put the tires on , new battery and fresh oil change and she runs .
Does run rough but I'll tune up soon n work on it as I go.
I'm glad to see I'm not the only Pinto owner who likes the stock look; whitewalls and all! When I got my '74 Runabout, tires were my first investment and I had a heck of a time sourcing 13 inch whitewalls! Finally found them and bought five (wanted a matching spare). For door handles, you might want to try Green Sales, but I've had excellent luck finding whatever I need on eBay. Type in Ford Pinto NOS and you'll be surprised at what all pops up! Good luck!
