1974 Ford Pinto Hatchback review from North America
"I love the notoriety I get from driving the famous "explodeable" pinto."
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I have had nothing go wrong with this car. It runs with or with out gas or oil.
The only thing that I have done to this car is get it reupholstered.
General comments?
It is the most reliable car I have ever had. I drive it a minimum of 100 miles a day, five days a week. It hasn't let me down yet.
I get lots of compliments and offers on my Pinto.
Best $800 I ever spent. This car runs so well that if I run across another one for sale I will most definitely buy it.
