Post by: papawfalcon on July 06, 2006, 06:28:08 PM
Hi,Years ago I raced a PINTO( once a FORD man always a FORD man) I like the 2000 motor.Also like the looks.Here'"s the question .What is the wheel base of a PINTO.After a search is there a differance between a sedan hatchback and wagon wheel base.And are the doors the same?Here is the deal My first love is the FALCONS.But with a PINTO you get rackand pinion in dash air and lots of newer updates.I was lead here because of a PINCHERO.I have a "63 RANCHERO that is a parts car and this would probable have the  parts to make a PINCHERO!!! Who own this and who built it. AWSUME.THANKS SO for any and all help.Ken N.

Wheelbase numbers for a 1980 (I had these handy): Sedan/Runabout 94.5", Wagon 94.8".

As far as the doors, no. The window frame, and glass are different.
