I wanted a 71 72 pinto....Found a CLEAN 74 4 speed and bought it. What are the differences other than UGLY bumpers and 2300cc engine?
Can I put 71 or so early bumpers on my 74 with just Orig.71 or so brackets and bumpers and look stock?
It has a factory sunroof??Anybody heard of that?
Thanks for the help....Dave
Factory sunroof is rare, especially in 72&73 but I've seen a few. Don't
know if it was offered in 71 though.

the only time I've seen a factory sunroof in a 72 or 73, its also had a vhinyl roof. Starting to wonder if thats the only way you could get a sunroof in those years.

YES! My 73 also came with the vinal top and moonroof.

I too sought a 71 or 72 and ultimately found a '74. The motor was different as were the bumpers, this you know already. Something else I discovered is that the Rack & Pinion system is different as well although I don't know in what way. The '74 was also heavier, probably due to the motor. I haven't found anything else yet... or haven't realized it. Other people are better informed though, I just got mine in the fall, and I'm not going to have it ready for the road until probably next fall... by then it will be VERY different.
I've got a '74 (that I found through this site!) with a 2.0 and C-4. I'm still learning the idosycracies of what mixes and matches, but as far as weight-wise, it seems like it's only the bumpers and support crap that would contribute. I'm far from an expert on these rigs, though....... ???
