Hi guys:
Looked at a '76 wagon today in East Texas - guy wants $2400. Completely running, drives nice, 65k miles, has working air, standard tranny. My ONLY issue is this - the vent area in front of the windshield is full of leaves. It rained this morning out there, and the drivers floor was damp. Is this clogged, or do I have a firewall hole?
LOOK at the "drivers interior" picture, above the gas pedal. IS THIS A PROBLEM? Is there a rust hole in the firewall? Is the car a "bad buy" with that problem? Everything else looks great.
Sorry, here's the pic of the potential water leak....
looking at the location of the stain it looks more like a windshield leak...there a service hole on that side that would leak more tward the high beam switch if it was a cowl leak. M2C

my car leaked in the same area, was just the windshield if im not mistaken
Talked to the guy again tonite - he said the window was down a little when it rained (I hope that's all). On the other hand, what do you guys think of condition/price? Seem fair? The thing you DON'T see is a reasonably long rust hole on the inner fender under the battery, where the battery acid caused corrosion. Not obvious beneath the air intake, and not critical to the structure, but there. Otherwise a very dry car.

I agre with an offer of two grand, this wagon is cleaner then mine was when I bought it.
THE CAR IS MINE!! The seller just dropped it off an hour ago, it's sitting in the driveway ready for some TLC. I paid 2k for it.
I am now an OFFICIAL :lol: member of the PCCA, I need to change my registry.
This is a Canadian (St. Thomas) built car complete with buck tag, Medium Chestnut brown with Tan Corinthian Colton Vinyl interior and high back bucket seats. It is the "MPG" model with deluxe trim.
Man, am I stoked - I need to do some basic work (get turn signals going), but it's running and going. I should have plates late this week.
Wow, the wife is having a cow :o, but this is the fourth Pinto I have owned and it's very exciting for me.
Many questions to follow in another thread.

Congraduation on the buy.
Nice wagon! Enjoy! :hypno:
