how many like my car Ford produced? I saw a lot of cars at Carlisle that said 1 of 412 or 1 of 57. I know they made millions of Pintos but is there a resource that has those statistics?
Maybe a history 999 report from Ford will tell you that info?
hi, here are a few numbers i have wrote down, just don't remember where i found them...1978 [ 188,899 ] total produced...model #10 pony weight 2321 price 3139 prod ?..model #10 sedan weight 2400 price3629 prod 62,317..model#11runabout...weight 2444 price 3744 prod 74,313...model 12 3 door..weight 2579 price 4028 prod ?...model 12 squire weight 2614 price 4343 prod 52,629...hope this helps!!!! sky :7: :8: :read:
Thanks Sky,
That's a good start. I'm told that ford didn't keep good records back then. The interior of my car is original so the build sheet may still be in it under the carpet or seats. That may give me some codes and such.
I heard about you at Carlisle, you're somewhat of a legend, all original, even the tires.
Thanks again,
Connie
Gee! I never thought of myself as a legend, but before you think I've got the big head let me say, a year ago mar. 11th i had open heart surgery at 50 yrs. old. I had 7 yes 7 bypasses! Did not know anything was wrong. Now i live each day looking for the reason GOD saved my life. Maybe it's because I'm going to be a grandpa for the first time in oct. Thank you for the nice words, my wife and I are very proud of our pinto,although not a classic it is a rarity!Good luck on your quest........sky :lol: :7: :8:
Yea, I did that history 999 report stuff. That was over a year ago. Never heard anything back. Hey Ford!! If ya are listening, :text_yb_wtf:

:text_yb_wtf: where have they all gone :wow:
MEXICO along with the Mavericks, Volares, Aspens and any other bad quality car that was made. I am not saying the Pinto was a bad quality car but you get my point. Everyday on ther streets people are still driving Granadas, Gremlins, Fairmonts, All the Datsun crap, 80s Crown Victorias and Grand Marquis. Of course the Gremlin is called a Rambler because it wouldn't have been right to call it American Motors here. Most of these cars are held together by wire and tape with taillights broken and totalled windshields but they are in the street everyday. I guess when Iacocca took over Chrysler and he had, what was it 100,000 Volares and Aspens to get rid of, he said "send them to Mexico" because they are everywhere of course they are all called Darts no matter what car they are.
Here in Mexico I am trying to find a Pinto in good condition to play with but they are so far gone and with no replacement parts here, I am waiting for a good one to appear. I want to make a duplicate of the Poison Pinto, but I am not sure which version yet.

A maverick was one of the best cars i owned. My volare w/ slant 6 was one of the most dependable and affordable to maintain. If these are your idea of bad cars, Id hate to see what your qualifications are for a good car. I see you have a mustang there must be lots of them in mexico too, then.

Thanks for the info.
We have one of those 77/78 cars. Our powder blue 77 has the full inner fender skirts, black and chrome shifter, split rear seat bottoms, and the door pulls without the chrome top.
Bill
BTW: The car has a VIN code as a 78, but it clearly states the year as a 77 on the ORIGINAL title (the only title, not the CO). :hypno:

I am sorry Dirt Track Demon, did I offend you? I really wish you would read my post. I never said anything aboout dependability. Like I said they are still on the road as everyday drivers here. I said they were low quality cars. I am not sure in what year you bought your Volare but they had major issues right from day one. Nobody has ever referred to an Aspen or Volare as a high quality car. As for the Maverick, it was a basic car. Not much to go wrong with it, but the buyers of a Maverick traded up when they had a chance.
It looks like you confused a bad car with bad quality.
I assume your comment about the Mustang is to imply that it is a bad quality car. To answer your question, no there are not a lot of them here because this is not a sports car country. I think the dealer here has sold maybe 10 in the past year and mine is the only stick shift. The roads are in bad shape and the gas is crap.
I can assure you the 2005 Mustang is a high quality car, at least mine is. I have had mine for over a year now with 6400 kilometers on it and a good bit of that is 1/4 mile racing. I have had no issues neither small nor large with the car. I have had a lot of new cars in my life and all of them had something at some point. Actually that is how I gauge a good car or not, when the first warranty issue happens. I have had it happen the first couple of days or months later.
Please re-read my post to really understand it.
Cheers
I did have a long windy post typed up, but I decided it wasnt worth arguing about.
whatever makes you feel better.
have a happy day
cheers
I got my History 999 report about 3 weeks ago and I loved it. Now I have other Ford owners asking my how i got it. It was a great help finding out what "Stormy" came with and it has helped at shows. I know that some people have not gotten theirs but keep trying. i was totally shocked when mine came
