Bkojote "minivans are better than crossovers"Hold up full stop, that's not exactly true.If you're going to build a custom ride, don't give up half way and then try to recoup your "investment." IH_Fever Another piece of old iron that's been bastardized in the hopes it'll be worth a bunch of money.This includes many years of BMW's including a couple of E30s (one a swap car) and an E36, a heavily modified AMG Mercedes-Benz, and a host of American muscle. I've had cars from every automaker and decade from 1970 to the present. By the way, being the favorite car I've ever owned is no joke. The rust cancer finally got it - it went to the junkyard still running. I would tear down twisty dirt roads in the boonies at ridiculous speeds, and let the tail hang out at every opportunity. It had excellent weight distribution, a 5-speed and you could tach it until the valves floated. Despite being a rag bag, it is to this day my favorite car that I've ever owned. We’d leave the exterior the same as it is now and just give the thing a few hundred more horsepower, making it totally, 100% boss.I owned a bunch of Toyotas throughout the 90's including a Corona, two Celicas, and a couple of these - one just like the one in the photos (!), and one two-door SR-5 Liftback in that burnt orange color that they sold so many of them in: bit.ly/20ZNpLC. All this thing really needs is an entirely reengineered suspension with high performance parts and a 2.3L Ecoboost engine under the hood backed by a six speed stick shift.
Automatic transmission, sport mirrors, air conditioning, front AND rear defroster, and other high falutin’ stuff that rich folks like to brag about. The car was optioned up from the factory. Yeah, we just face-palmed ourselves for saying that. That means you have the pinnacle of styling and engineering here. 1980 was the height of refinement for the Pinto as it was their last year of construction. Those are actually kind of neat instead of the traditional bench seat that most cars like this have. The interior is amazing and we dig the back bucket seats. The four banger/auto combo means that you and a city bus can have a spirited acceleration contest pulling away from a curb but outside of that the only race this thing cares about is the human one.

The southern car is completely rust free according to the seller and it has less than 65,000 miles on it, to boot. We’re nearly 100% sure those are Appliance wheels that have been painted on the corners. The “Stallion” package, one of the saddest in automotive history (in our opinion) was only available in 1976 and it was basically some stickers and a set of shocks. The only deviation from bone stock was the addition of some 1976 “Stallion” flavor. No, the engine has not been swapped, the thing is still powered by the sad little 90hp 140ci four banger that was in it from the factory when Ronald Regan was took office. The car is immaculate and likely better than new in most every way. As in, this thing exists…really?! You are looking at a restored 1980 Pinto Station wagon that is on its third owner.
