This one is for Daily Pinto drivers- How many rubber neckers?
blupinto:
I get that, too! As for your '76 not being shiny... Ruby isn't the shiniest jewel in the box, either,... but she is priceless to me anyway! ;D

I successfully drove my 78 Pinto from Dallas to Ocean Springs, MS and back for Cruisin the Coast 2013. Almost every place I stopped at had someone that would talk to me about the Pinto they used to have or were amazed that I had one still running. Even with all the nice classic hot rods someone would yell out "hey! A Pinto!" I lost count of how many times someone took a picture of me. I wonder how many Facebook pages I'm on. My dad suggested that we put a sign on the back that says "Tell us your Pinto story". We even have a friend to video it so look for us next year on YouTube.

I had one accident so far. With the halos on the front I think it draws more attention. Someone in a truck almost hit another car looking at the Pinto wagon LOL

A couple of years back a guy came racing around me on the freeway in a baby blue mid '70s Pinto wagon, it looked in pretty good shape. I was the rubber necker there and just as he passed and got up a ways he popped a tire.......... .............. ...LOL, at least for a fractional second........ ......in the next, the heavy wirewheel looking hubcap came loose (uh oh!) and vaulted high in the air where the wind caught it and I spent the rest of the time watching it fall towards me while taking evasive action. Man that cover went at least fifty feet up. Looking in traffic behind me swerving all over the same way I saw the cover crash down on empty space thankfully. Needless to say I thought more about the driver than the car after that, as is why the ?$!(!!? did you !?@%!!?.............. ....I gave a seconds' thought to going back and offering to buy the now stranded car, maybe he was disgusted with it, you never know. But the almost getting sashed by the wheel cover did for me and I could only think 'you idiot' all the way home.

I get looks/thumbs up on the road all the time and comments in a parking lot almost every time..
