The Ford Pinto was Ford's entry into the subcompact market, debuting for the 1971 model year to compete with imports from Volkswagen and Datsun. Produced until 1980, it was available as a sedan, a hatchback (Runabout), and a popular station wagon. While its reputation was forever marked by the controversial fuel tank design, the Pinto was a sales success, with over 3 million units sold during its production run.
Collectors are drawn to the Pinto for its 1970s nostalgia and affordability. It's a simple, rear-wheel-drive platform that's easy to work on, and parts for the common 2.3L inline-4 are still available. Station wagons, V6-equipped models, and rare dealer-customized versions like the Pangra are particularly sought after by enthusiasts looking for a distinctive piece of automotive history.
Buying Tips
- Rust is the primary concern; thoroughly inspect the floor pans, rocker panels, strut towers, and the area around the rear window.
- Check for evidence that the factory fuel tank safety recall was performed. A plastic shield should be visible between the tank and the differential.
- The 2.3L OHC engine is durable, but listen for timing belt noise and look for signs of a leaking head gasket or excessive oil consumption.
- Interior plastics and vinyl are often brittle and cracked from sun exposure. Finding a car with a preserved interior is a major advantage as trim is hard to source.
- Station wagons and models with the factory V6 engine are less common and typically command higher prices.
