Is he willing to trade for another Pinto? Specifically yours?
Is that the car you want to end up with?
If the answer to both is a loud YES, then go for it. If a mellow yes, maybe. If a I don't know, then no.
Bet that helps a whole lot. :-)

He's had that listed a couple times. Pics look good. Only issue is going to be the spool. Just be ready to drop 500 or so to swap in a locker. Keep that in mind....

I have a buddy that has a 9" 3rd member with a factory limited slip in it just sitting in his shop. I can prolly trade the mos system off the car and get the 3rd member set up he has. Guy will be here tuesday at 4pm to look over the wagon. I told him to bring a title and we would swap paperwork now. Tired of these folks that say a deal is solid and them for whatever reason bail. Nothing wrong with the wagon other than the damn color.
Info on the other Pinto
1975 pinto. 302 with studded and guided heads,C4 trans with shift kit and stall. 9" rear end with 4:11 gears with mini spool, strange gears and mosser axels. aluminum radiator with elect. fan both are Cool brand. B&M pro stick shifter, big tack with shift light, all gauges after market and all work. nice aftermarket seats, line lock for front breaks, battery, fuel cell and NOS bottle are in trunk. pinto is street friendly "legal" and will run mid 8's in the 1/8 like it is with street tires. Jegs sport light aluminum wheels 4 lug front 5 lug rear. I do have another hood with a scoop on it.

Fingers crossed! Guy is on his way. I love my little wagon but I sure miss the hell out of the V8 Pinto trunk model I had. This can correct a mistake I made 4 years ago!

Here's hoping you'll get it, and that it won't have issues you weren't told about.

Trade wrapped up! I gotta finish the new header install and then he is meeting me halfway between our places.

I had a HORRIFFIC 20 year marriage....Th at was a MISTAKE! :lol: :lol: Getting rid of a car you should have kept is a regret. Good to hear you got the deal made. From the pics thats a good looking trunk Id be happy to own.

If only I hadn't let my mint '74 Florida hatch rot till it needed scrapped. I regret that one badly.

302PintoMan · « **Reply #10 on:** July 31, 2010, 01:03:33 PM »

Didn't happen he sold it and didn't even have the courtesy to let me know that he was working 2 deals at once. Oh well.

blupinto · « **Reply #11 on:** July 31, 2010, 03:05:46 PM »

What a bummer! I'm sorry the deal fell through.

RSM · « **Reply #12 on:** July 31, 2010, 03:23:52 PM »

I thought that post about the new guy with the green Pinto looked familiar. That's totally wrong when people do that crap. I don't have any respect for people like that...

302PintoMan · « **Reply #13 on:** July 31, 2010, 03:51:02 PM »

I can totally understand cash over trade, just call a person and say...need the money more, if it doesn't sell then we will trade. I was still installing headers so he said "Based on hearing it run we have a deal. I will meet you halfway" That to me says get your headers on and we are solid.

blupinto · « **Reply #14 on:** July 31, 2010, 04:02:03 PM »

People nowadays lack courtesy- maybe they don't like confrontation. .. maybe they can't give bad news. They should learn to "Man Up" or "Woman Up" instead of taking the coward's way. Honesty is the cest policy. You can tell I've been burned by cowards, huh?

A couple of them I used to call friends.

302PintoMan · « **Reply #15 on:** July 31, 2010, 04:05:56 PM »

I SHOULD just paint the damn car and I would be fine. The color of the car is what is sucking the fun out of it. I have it almost ready to paint. Maybe paint and Build me a nasty roller 302 with a Parker Funnel web intake and all will be right again.

Well, for all you guys that think I bought this car out from under the other guy.
I will tell you I had no idea that there was another deal in the works.
I came here to this web site after I bought the car.
Sorry 302pintoman.
I thought this would be a cool site to hangout.

This is, indeed, a cool site to hang out. No one is blaming you for anything... 302pintoman was kept in the dark too. He believed he had a deal and then it suddenly fell through. He's going through some disappointment, but no one here is blaming you for that. We are glad you found us and look forward to your participation.

Dwayne :smile:

blupinto · « **Reply #18 on:** July 31, 2010, 11:34:40 PM »

I agree with Dwayne... you're not to blame with this deal. The guy who sold it to you without a word to 302PM or you is the culprit.
Please give us a chance... there's lots of good information from great people here. :welcome:

302PintoMan · « **Reply #19 on:** August 01, 2010, 02:18:04 AM »

Yeah I am not upset with you, hell I am not upset he sold it. I am upset about just shooting me a text saying he MIGHT sell it and not trade. My last text from him was "yes deal is still on there is an issue with the car. Will call you friday night" The "issue" was he was selling it. Just send a text that says. Deal is dependent on whether a cash offer I have goes thru. I can understand that. I can NOT understand KNOWING you have a cash deal and then leading me on incase cash deal doesn't happen.

He came to my house and I was in the middle of a header swap. He stated PENDING hearing my car run and driving it, we had a deal. Has NOTHING to do with you at all. This is a great site. I DID find a local gold mine of Pintos in a field here. Checking to see if there is a Buildable trunk model. I have 2) 302 rollers and 3) c4's. I will just build one. Might even GASP put a chevy in one.

You should not leave the site over a misguided individual who sold you the car. No one blames you for it. its the sellers fault for messing you and him up onit. Either way you got a great little car. be proud of it

:welcome: STREETREBEL!
In no way did we mean to come down on you for buying the car! It was the seller that was not upfront about the deal with 302PM.
Glad to have you aboard and we look forward to seeing more pics of the car. :fastcar:
BTW 302, if you put a (gasp) chevy in one, I will come to your house and put sardines in your hubcaps!! :lol: :lol: :lol:

Thanks for everyone understanding.
I look forward to hanging out here and making new friends.
I drove 400 miles to get this little Pinto, and had a blowout on the rear
of my truck on the way home. I was in heavy traffic and almost hit 4 other
vehicle's, while trying to keep control of the truck and trailer. Me and the Pinto
finally made it home after a 14 hour road trip. But it was worth it!
My wife and I have already went cruising in it and enjoyed showing it.
It amazies me how many people don't know what it is!
Thanks again to everyone.

Has anyone used these retarded Hedman MustangII/Pinto headers? I have been installing them, hitting steering shaft on drivers side and I don't even WANT to talk about the other side. Looks like I am going to have to lift the p/s of engine, remove mount, lower engine and then slide them in from teh bottom. There HAS to be a stock exhaust manifold of something that fits! New guy has them on the Green pinto but he didn't build it so I am SURE he doesn't know what they came off of. Any info a help. I had stock ones on my grey V8 Pinto but I didn't build it!

About to use gas can and lighter and fix my problem! Or trade the bitch for a Baja Beetle!

RSM · « **Reply #27 on:** August 01, 2010, 04:46:24 PM »

just out of curiousity...w hats a chooped wagon?...LOL

Bigtimmay · « **Reply #28 on:** August 01, 2010, 06:55:26 PM »

i bet a set of Mustang II manifolds would clear in a pinto instead of them worthless headers.

An if you drop a SBC into that car it would put a smile on my face you guys might not like it but id take a SBC over a SBF anyday of the week.

russosborne · « **Reply #29 on:** August 01, 2010, 07:58:02 PM »

Well, the good news is you still have one of the most unique Pintos around. I actaully like the color, but then I painted every bicycle I had when I was a kid purple.

I know how you are feeling about not being told. I have been sitting here all day waiting for a guy to show up to take my stock engine and transmission and other stuff. FREE!. He was supposed to be here 9 hours ago, and not a word from him. Now I have to go cram stuff back in the garage that I thought was gone, just so I can put our car back in it. I too can understand stuff happening, but he has my number, at least call or pm here saying something has changed.
