WOW U R way OFF!!!!
Right Dave???!!!!
Daves is what?450 miles.Is that about right Dave?
ok the lowest is 450 miles u say.wow! right on!!! where the pics of that one?
I know this isn't a ego contest, so let me throw this out there. My first 73 Pinto Wagon had over 350,000 miles on it when I sold it. Went thru 2 complete engine overhauls, 4 clutches, 2 trans overhauls, oil and filter changes every 3500 miles or 100 changes, can't remember how many batteries and other electrical parts, and who knows how many sets of tires. I only sold it so I could buy another 73 wagon without the ugly (this is personal) roof rack and all the faded Squire side junk. I'm only throwing this out because I thought Pinto's were to drive. One with 450 miles on it must look good sitting in the garage. Mine looks good driving down the road. Besides, lots of people like to look at it and talk about it with me. More fun driving it around, or so I think. Don't see very many on the road these days. That's half the fun of owning the car.
I never want a car I can't, or won't drive.
For the record, mine's showing 98K on the odometer, Is that 198, 298, or even 398? I dunno.
well my 75 i drove it for round table during the day and pizza hut at night. i also earned the nick name taxi for always been the designated driver and allot of other taxing people around. (and the yellow with black hood helped) the car never got parked.
i had to changed the oil weekly, the tires monthly, the brakes every two months and the tranny or starter every three months or so. i worked both jobs for 4 years of the five i had the car.
i bout the car for 40$ with 32,000 original and think it had about 6-700,000 when i sold it to a friend for 20$. because he had a kid on the way and was hurting for a car he had it for 2.5 years and got another 100,000 on it. when the engine let go.
i then got a 72 wagon that i put a esslinger 2275 crate engine in had it for 2 year it just got normal driving and some racing.
now i have a 74 that i have been haling around for five years now and only driving it maybe
1-200 miles a year till last summer when i caught it on fire.
Um... I drove my car around the block three times so far.....
that more than i can do right at this minuet, but i have the wife's pinto runs and drive so dose two of my parts car well tell tomorrow then one of the is beings striped.

Nothing compared to Dave's beauty, but my girl has 60,000 original miles. Amazingly low mileage for someone who is used to 200,000km + on most of my vehicles. My truck just rolled 300,000km last week.
I must say, Dave's car is spectacular.
I know for sure my old 76 MPG had 244k on it, and i am pretty convinced that it was more like 344k. Now i have a 74 Wagon with 98k, a 76 MPG Pony with 152k, and a 79 that has 98k on the car. Not sure on the engine, im thinking its got 2 or 3 times that. Was all i had for a spare tho...:) The 79 has not seen the road (cept the testdrive i took it on a few days ago) in 16 years!. The interior is pretty nice on it. The body isnt too bad either.
Mine's got 148,000 something, coming close to 149,000. It's gone through several oil an coolant changes, three clutch rebuilds, countless tires, no transmission work besides a few flushes and one engine rebuild + radiator.
ThunderPinto had 103,000 on it when I did the v-8 conversion about 3 years ago. I have logged about 15,000 since then. Although in the garage for the winter it stands road ready.

I just saw this post today.
My 1979 sedan "Jade" has 429 miles on her. I did get a copy of the original owners title and when the sold it in 1999 after 20 years of ownership, it had 129 miles on it.
It is nice to read of some 200K and 300K Pinto's out there.

Old post I know but I just rolled over 487,000 a couple of weeks ago while out with farmboy and apintonut.
Unfortunately I have more miles towing or pushing my pinto than driven miles Hopefully this weekend that will change!!

My 71 Hanto tribute (or Pintotus if you prefer but sounds like a illness...and may be!) has 24,500 original miles in 38 years. At this rate, it will take over 700 years to reach 487K!! :lol:

68 on the Purple Pinto
112 on the Green woody
80 on the Purple 73
66 on the Blue 73 Fact. moonroof Pinto

From Pintony
my current 74 hatch is showing 25k. probably 125k. i had 2 others that i had to get rid of. the 76 wagon had around 125k and the 78 wagon had 90k.
My Pinto, through verifying from reliable sources connected to the car, only has 1,621 orig. ROAD mileage. Keep in mind this Pinto has been a racer for at least 15 years if not longer. But it still wouldn't have over 10,000 going down a 1/8mi track for most its life.
