Known problems include: Soft break pedal, no heat or A/C though it originally came equipped with both, at least one tire showing signs of dry rot, very worn interior, and cracked windshield.
Buyer is responsible for all shipping charges, but I am willing to help with what I can as far as delivering it to a transport etc. Car is just south of Albuquerque, New Mexico. As is sale. Please watch my youtube video and/or send your inspectors if needed.
I stumbled on that one yesterday on CL, I think it needs too much interior work unfortunately. Love the two-tone color though
2.3 in a '72? Don't think so. It should be a 2.0, which is a much better engine anyway.
Worth $2K or more even though I've never been a Pinto fan. Engine compartment's big enough for most sane swaps, if that's your thing.
Oh wait, no way, that's a buttload of rust on that thing.

Slushbox and woodgrain. Both can be fixed. Better choice than the rusty Ford of Canada sedan.
Damn. I actually kinda really want that. It's so ugly it's cool.
Go for it. Pinto chassis is simple-but-effective, lots of fenderwell room for rubber, etc.
I'd keep the faux wood paneling, but yeah, 86 the auto-tragic.
Well, I would say "Not bad, for one million miles". That is the first time I have ever seen rusty carpets, however.
