Ford debuted the Pinto in 1971 as its first domestic-built subcompact. The Pinto was introduced alongside its arch-rival Chevrolet Vega that same year, as well as the Dodge Colt, to do battle with other such subcompacts as the Toyota Corolla and Volkswagen Beetle. The Pinto, like its competition was built to a targeted price audience and proved insanely popular in its first several years. Also like the Vega, despite the Pinto's popularity, they have all but completely disappeared from the U.S. roads. A Pinto is more likely to be seen these days as a tubbed-out 800 horsepower drag car on a drag strip than as a daily driver on public roads. This vehicle listed is extremely rare for that reason, When can you say you last saw one? and was it in this condition? And with only 10,480 Original Miles WOW!
A growing cult following of the Pinto has emerged in recent years with a very diverse group of Business executives who may have owned a Pinto in College and even delivery servers who still maybe still could be making deliveries in that Pinto today. All across the nation more and more of these fun little cars are showing up at meets and creating clubs to help spread the word. Much like the Vega, Gremlin and Bettle it wont be long before the Pinto becomes desirable as any collector car and it's value doubles.
This is a very rare Low mile Coupe in stunning condition that you can buy today and have a great investment for the future.
This Pinto was originally sold just 4 blocks from our showroom at Drew Ford in 1978. The vehicle has lived here in La Mesa, Ca for over 32 years belonging to only a few meticulous owners. The previous owner has owned this car for several years and just recently refreshed the vehicle to the highest standards with new seat inserts and one re-paint in the original color. This 1978 Pinto is virtually flawless and one of the finest examples we have ever seen. Locally shown over the past year the vehicle receives more attention on the show field then some of our personal vehicles of which many are national Concour winners and Pebble Beach entries. You may never have as much fun showing a car as you will this 1978 Pinto, people are simply taken back when in the presence of this car.
Mechanically sound and superior quality with extremely low miles is what makes this 1978 Pinto the one to own. With 10,480 original miles the vehicle has undergone a cosmetic restoration to the highest standards and shows beautifully. The engine is the original 4 cyl with 4 speed Transmission and it runs and drives like new. This is the second vehicle brought to us from the previous owner and he treats each vehicle with the most absolute care and attention to detail. You will not find any issues what so ever with this car. Everything is in working order including all Lights Turn Signals, and Radio. The interior is original and beautiful inserts are fitted in the original pattern much of the carpet and seats were covered with plastic for cleanliness, the wood trim is beautiful and the vehicle needs nothing. You will not find a finer lower milage example then this. Do not miss out on this opportunity the car is stunning and drives like new, you cannot go wrong with this car.
