Hello everyone !
Just purchased a 1974 pinto wagon from my wife's step father , he owned for 15 or so years and drove car daily up to 3-4 years ago where it sat in his driveway. Car was well taken care n maintained pretty well to my knowledge being it was his daily driver to work daily
I'll try n post pics soon k.
Thanks

I'm glad to see I'm not the only Pinto owner who likes the stock look; whitewalls and all! When I got my '74 Runabout, tires were my first investment and I had a heck of a time sourcing 13 inch whitewalls! Finally found them and bought five (wanted a matching spare). For door handles, you might want to try Green Sales, but I've had excellent luck finding whatever I need on eBay. Type in Ford Pinto NOS and you'll be surprised at what all pops up! Good luck!
