I wonder if they made that rear cabin bulkhead a firewall, or left it open to the top of the fuel tank, out of a sense of traditionalism? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
railfancwb Posted December 27, 2023 Share Posted December 27, 2023 We had a pinto station wagon. Stick shift. Took it on at least one road trip out west. Was later totaled. No problems otherwise. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators Eric Posted December 27, 2023 Author Administrators Share Posted December 27, 2023 Vance DeBar “Pinto” Colvig was a virtual human library of sound effects. In an array of Disney animated films and shorts, Pinto provided spitting for grasshoppers, belching for bugs, and grunting for hogs, among other quirky sound effects. The musician, artist, and former circus clown also lent his voice to Disney’s beloved character, Goofy, from the time of the character’s debut in the 1932 short Mickey’s Revue until Pinto’s death in 1967. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Huaco Kid Posted December 27, 2023 Share Posted December 27, 2023 They had to relocate that statue away from customers and especially away from bulky luggage, as any sharp bumps to it would result in sudden flamage from the ass end. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I nor my wife, could get it to move on an icy street so the next year I went to the dealer to talk about the new announced Pinto Wagon. It had two hundred pounds more on the rear axel. I bought some cars from this guy and he said he would "trade me even up", a wagon for my pinto three door. I didn't believe him so I told him to get it approved. He did. He said the demand for them was so high he could get more than I paid for it new, as a used car. When I realized I could get a swap with no money, I loaded it with every option they had and paid a few hundred difference for it. My wife was pleased. I could get that thing to chirp the tires in three gears. I "rust proofed it" and 10 years later it was still cherry, got a good price for it too. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aren't the Pinto's the ones that "exploded" when hit in the rear? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Huaco Kid Posted December 27, 2023 Share Posted December 27, 2023 Nader totally missed the mark on hating on that car, all while ignoring motorcycles. He probably popularity-polled motorcycles and found that a large00 majority loved them, so he went on to #2. (and, besides, motorcycles were joan claybrook's platform, so she probably cat-fought Nader every time he came sniffing around) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
