1978 Ford Pinto Hatchback review from North America
"Pinto = Ford's answer to tailgating!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
What Went wrong in 69000 miles.
Head gasket.
What went right in 69000 miles
everything.
General comments?
This car gets nothing, but good looks and thumbs up from everyone except the "pinto haters" which are those which everyone else ignores.
This is a nice original 78 Pinto hatchback.
Orange with orange interior and the plaid seats.
Great car for the money it cost me new.
It's still a daily driver.
Want to put a Crate 2.3 from Ford in it and a turbo as well as some other performance parts.
Very nice looking car.
Earlies blow up 77 and up do not!
Get it into your head!
