Congrats on your find! Let me know if you'd like a list of resources that I have used to locate parts. May I ask how solid are the floor pans? There is a Pinto in Desert Valley Auto Parts (dvap.com) that supposedly have solid floorboards.

Happy Motoring!

Tommy Mac,

Welcome!  I totally understand your excitement.  My first car was a new 1974 orange Pinto Runabout with black interior.  I foolishly traded it away in 1976 but I FINALLY found and purchased its twin several years ago.  There's nothing quite like that first car and if you can't get it back, then replicating it is the next best thing!  Enjoy!
