hey there folks, five yrs no six yrs ago, i bought my first pinto since i was in my early 20s , it was avery light green color, in fact everything on this car was green x cept the chrome. well,after afew yrs of this i sold it. its been 3 yrs and i just couldnt stand being away from the site and not owning a pinto, had been scouting the pinto classifieds, local papers an such, when this past oct., wife an i were driving home fromthe chiropractor, there it was sitting in the front row of the local ford dealership wasy next pinto.now my last one was a 76 hatch, i decidedmy next one would have black or brown int., this car was red w/black int BEAUTIFULL!!!had to go back the following day to check this out.turns out it s been pretty much hidden away in a garage in another nearby town. some young punk had gotten it from agrandma an just traded it in. the mi.s on this one is lower than my last pinto.now pintos are a rarity in n.w. pa. where salt an sand are used liberally.an it is amore basic model than the other green pinto but its more my color an its also a trunk instead of a hatch .to great disgust and dismay of my better half, i had to bring her (pinto) home. i have been able to drive her a little but now winter is mostly gone for the yr. im anxious to drive more often, would love to make the carlislse show an meet up withother pinto members. i see a few dont live to far from me like ( phils toy) in corry pa. anyway hope to converse an meet some of you folks soon.... talk later, ken in n.w. pa.
