Vehicle Detail

Here it is, re-listed and re-available!! This time, with NO RESERVE! Git it OUT of here!! I had to chuckle when I was asked to list "options", "safety features", and "power options" for this car... It's a '75 Ford PINTO!! It comes with a complete set of four forward gears, and one fantastic reverse gear, all accessible via the clutch and shifter knob. It has plenty of glass, four of which retreat right into the doors, via this nifty rotating knob! It has SEATS!! Four of 'em! It has sun visors! It has HEAD lights! It has the original spare tire, with authentic nineteen-seventy-five air in it! Seriously, the spare has never been out of the car. This vehicle is a complete and total anachronism. It's all original, the interior is in splendid condition for what it is, the body is almost perfect (although the paint could use a wee bit of help), it shows no signs of ever having been wrecked or damaged, as all the body panel seams are perfect. I tell you, when I sit in the passenger seat, I'm instantly six years old again, and barely resist the urge to chew on the dash board (again...). If you are a Buddhist Monk, this is the ride for you! If you are a masochist, this is the ride for you! If you want to totally and thoroughly embarrass your teenage daughter, this is the ride for you! Alas, at some point along the way, some moron completely harshed our authentic '75 flashback by installing CRAGAR rims! Nothing else; no Hurst shifter, no deer avoidance whistles, no double windshield wipers, no window tinting, little tree air fresheners, or curb feelers. Just CRAGAR rims. The CHUTZPAH! It's almost as if the car has never even seen a Track Auto or Pep Boys, with the glaring and complete non sequitur that is the absurd CRAGAR rims. On a '75 Pinto stick shift. One can only wonder. Oh, and the windshield is cracked. We can get you a new one, if you want us to. Up close and personal inspections and test drives always welcomed and recommended. The car is in Manassas Virginia, of course (where else, except perhaps Culpeper or Martinsburg...) We can assist with shipping, nationwide. Oh, and by the way, it really does run great. Steers straight, brakes well, clutch is tight, compression is plenty healthy. I'll drive it to you if you live within 250 miles (if you win it, that is). auction contingent on local sale.
