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
Jay

Congratulation s Jay!  I have a '72 wagon and a '74 Runabout.  Pintos are terrific little cars and I hope you have a blast with yours!

Overall , I put the tires on , new battery and fresh oil change and she runs .
Does run rough but I'll tune up soon n work on it as I go.

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!
