Sorry, Thought everybody wanted to see a new Pinto in the club. I will not post anything else.

we all got this because... under attachements and options below he clicked on "announce topic"
I didn't know that was an option or that it would send an email to everybody! crap! that setting needs to go away!
and... Lawerence... we would have seen it, it's just that we ALL (5000+ members) received an email "announcing it."
we appriciate you posting it, seriously, we do and you are welcome to the club. This just caught us all by surprise the way it was "announced" and we all got emails. As a member of the management board... I gotta say... that option needs to disapear. No user should have the ability to send messages to everybody on this group like that.
You didn't do wrong, it's just that option shuldn't be available to anybody but management or admins

Nice find Lawrence! I have found two of these in a couple if my cars. I am always super excited when i do!
Oh, and Carp & Reeves1 were just wondering how we got notifed of this. You see, we all got emails about it. That hasn't happened before. We were wondering what superpowers you had! In fact, fight now there are 31 users logged on and 144 guests viewing this post! I have never seen that before. You are very popular!
Please keep on posting! This is what FordPinto.com is for, posting Pinto...er...a nything!
We always want to see new Pintos in the group and Welcome!

Lots of knowledge out there & it's good for them to drop by & post stuff !

Lawrence, don't be sorry about posting! I haven't checked my email yet, so I don't know if I got a notification.. . but I for one am glad you showed us your '75! She's beautiful! Are those factory stripes? It's neat that you got the buildsheet with your new treasure! Of course, I'm DYING to see her interior!
P.S. My Uncle Bill had a root beer brown '75 wagon with tan interior, so I have a soft spot for brown '75s.
-
I'm glad to see it too! I just scored my first Pinto, a 73 wagon. I've already started painting it into a custom artcar, it's now the Paisley Pinto...When I've figgered out how,I'll send pix of the finished work. I LOVE LOVE LOVE this car. People were giving me the thumbs up and taking pix on the freeway from day one...Now, it will become the most iconic Pinto on the road. Paid $1300 for it with rebuilt motor...and, am investing another $1100 on brakes and miscellaneous to make sure it's longterm roadworthy as my daily driver. I'm only too happy to invest in a car that gives so much joy.
-
Duh ! I need to read better.....and understand what I'm reading !
That is the car you got a smok'n deal on at the sale !
So now you have gone over it, does it really look like it has that low milage ?
Car looks great !

Build sheet was under the drivers side seat right?
-
I usually find them under right seat. Fred :) I have been throwing seats in trash for over a month now and I am still not done. They get in my way.
-
The build sheet was under the passengers seat in the last spring. I think there should be a file for everybody to post there build sheets to get a collection.

Welcome to the Club Lawrence, don't let the complainers about your "All hand's" message get you down. I think it is a good thing to stir things up a bit. If the powers to be, want to stop this type of post, so be it. They are running this thread. I don't want to do it, nor do I have the computer skills to do it, and I appreciate their efforts to provide a Pinto club to us. Tony

Good one Lawrence- gotta love it..

As I heard Sheldon say on a TV series The Big Bang Theory. BAZINGA!!
-
red one ?
The one that was like a Burgandy red, it was on ebay, has a V8 guy wanted more then 10k for it i think. its here in scottsdale AZ.
-
Wow, Lawrence! I can't remember the last time I saw nearly thirty posts in a matter of less that twelve hours! You stirred this group up! First of all, I love your car... you got the deal of a lifetime. Secondly, please don't take offense at anything that was said about your "announcement". That was a fluke and is apparently a feature that no one else had ever found! No harm done, you just caught us all off guard! A sincere welcome to you and I hope we'll get to see more of your Pinto.
Dwayne :)

Thanks for the post! It was like Pooh Bear got into the beehive. LOL Maybe one of the Admins ought to use that button about once a month/quarter, just to stir things up some.
It's been a while for me...I had to reset my password. Keep up the good work, pics and posts! :D Wish I had known to look for that sheet on mine.
Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, and a Great and Prosperous New Year to ALL! and for those so inclined, Happy Pinto hunting!
-
Hi everybody, That is weird to get an email that way but it's nice to hear good news .
I never visit this site much,thanks for bringing me back.
::)

its nice to see so many members coming back onto the site =D

Nice Pinto, but we never called that color "Root beer", we had a much earthier and totally juvenile and inapproprate name for that color. Still, good deal!
-
And what that might be?....LOL
-
we called my moms pinto the rolling Turd cause of the color. and it was the same color as his. lol. aka shizod brown
-
I thought my wagon was root beer brown. Actually its Dark Cordovan metalic.

LOL!!!! That's just wrong!!! LOL!!! I'm sure my own Mom called Uncle Bill's wagon some colorful names too when she had to use it when her crappy Renault LeCar (The Crushed Crush Can- I mean California Sunset lol) crapped out. She hated that Pinto.
-
Lucky its for my wife. She just loves it.
-
Well, I'll say she's one lucky girl in a couple ways... :)
-
but I got the 73 Vette. 8)
-
Me, I'd still choose the Pinto. ;D
-
Lawrence, you lucky dogg!!
Over the years I have parted out about 20 pintos an never found a sheet. I used to find them all the time in the Mustangs I scrapped in the 70-80s, even one in an 87 Escort GT but never a pinto.

-
I have a couple of stories about where to find them and went under the seat and felt paper in the seat springs. I figgured I better take the seat off so it would not rip but it got a little bit torn. Overall still a good find.

Here is a up date on the miles. She has 610 original miles. I still can not believe it. I am so STOKED.
