1974 Ford Pinto Wagon review from North America
"Well made little car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Timing belt broke at 60,000 miles (replaced every 50,000 miles after that).
The water pump started leaking at 130,000 miles.
General comments?
The little car was very easy to keep up and easy to to fix. Would carry anything and everything I could stuff, tie on or pull.
