1971 FORD PINTO TRUNK MODEL 99% RUST FREE

CURRENTLY TAGGED AND REGISTERED IN MY NAME

THIS PINTO IS ULTRA ORIGINAL, CAR HAS BEEN OFF THE ROAD SINCE 2003. ORIGINALLY PURCHASED IN CENTRAL CA AND HAS BEEN IN CA EVER SINCE.

EXTERIOR: STILL WEARING ITS ORIGINAL YELLOW PAINT. STILL SHINES VERY WELL. THIS IS A GREAT 20’ER CAR LOOKS GREAT FOR 20’ AWAY. HAS LOTS OF LITTLE DINGS, SCRATCHES AND SCUFFS. THE WORST OF THE BODY IS THE HOOD AND COWL. DURING A TEST DRIVE IN THE PROCESS OF GETTING IT BACK ON THE ROAD, THE HOOD CAME UNLATCHED/FLIPPED UP AND DENTED IN THE COWL AND SLIGHTLY TWEAKED THE REAR OF THE HOOD. (SEE PICTURE/VIDEO) THIS CAR IS VIRTUALLY RUST FREE WITH ONLY VERY MINOR SURFACE RUST IN SOME TINY AREAS. ALL TRIM PRESENT. FRONT GRILL IS CRACKED. OVERALL VERY PRESENTABLE FOR IS AGE.

INTERIOR: IN ORIGINAL CONDITION AND IN NEED OF ATTENTION. MISSING PASSENGER BUCKET SEAT. DRIVER SEAT COMPLETE BUT WILL NEED RESTORING. CARPET IS ORIGINAL BUT SHOT, HEADLINER IN PLACE BUT WILL NEED REDOING. ORIGINAL RADIO INSTALLED BUT NOT WORKING. STEERING WHEEL IS WEATHERED AND CRACKED. MISMATCHED WINDOW AND DOOR CRANKS. SPEEDO WORKS, GAS AND OTHER GAUGES IN-OP.

GLASS: FRONT WINDOW IS CRACKED ALL OTHER GLASS IN GOOD SHAPE. WINDOWS ROLL UP AND DOWN AS THEY SHOULD.

DRIVE TRAIN: 2.0 4 CYL IS STRONG AND SOUNDS GOOD. AFTER SITTING FOR ALMOST 17 YEARS I INSTALLED A BRAND-NEW CARB AND WATER PUMP. SOME FRESH GAS AND SHE FIRED RITE OFF. IDLES FINE BUT COULD USE A GOOD TUNE UP BEFORE BEING DRIVEN REGULARLY. TRANS OPERATES AS IT SHOULD. DRIVES DOWN THE ROAD STRAIGHT AND WITH A LITTLE TUNING WILL BE VERY RELIABLE FUN CAR TO CRUISE AROUND IN.

WHEELS AND TIRE: CAR IS RIDING ON ITS FACTORY 13” STEEL WHEELS WITH BRAND NEW 155/80R13 WHITE WALL RUBBER ON ALL FOUR CORNERS. ORIGINAL HUBCAPS IN GREAT SHAPE. ORIGINAL BIAS PLY SPARE STILL IN TRUNK.

CONCLUSION: VERY ORIGINAL RUNNING AND DRIVING 1971 PINTO THAT WITH A LITTLE WORK WILL BE A GREAT CRUISER, OR PREFECT STARTER FOR A TURBO OR V8 SWAP.
