1973 Ford Pinto Runabout!!! Great Find
« on: October 15, 2005, 10:09:54 AM »
I found a 1973 Ford Pinto Runabout in an old car lot in a small town in Central Washington. By the look of the title it's been sitting there since 1984. It's dark blue with a few rust spots and paint chips but body is dent free. I replaced the fluids and cleaned out the carb and it started right up. Whoever had it before me put in i think an aftermarket carb, racing steering wheel, 2 foot glass pax, and duel exhaust. Pretty decent car. I may be willing to sell it if someone is interested.

yeah, it's a 4 speed but it doesn't seem to like to run in 4th real well. I havn't had the time to work on the engine enough to see what's wrong with it

I'm going to regret asking this,

How much do you want for the car & do you have pictures?

I really havn't thought about what i want for it yet. I'm not even sure what it's worth. I'm working on getting some pictures up though. Hopefully soon.
