When we lived in North Carolina, my Mam had a Mercury Bobcat (a Pinto in disguise)  Will see if I can find any pics to scan in. |

I've always had a soft spot for them and the Maverick, also the Chevy Vega for that matter. Heres one I snapped at the NSRA northern swap meet.  |

Has everyone forgotten that the Pinto's star turn was to have it's fuel tank explode if you looked sideways at the back bumper?
And Fords Accounts department's cynical decision that it was cheaper to compensate relatives of the consequently deceased than to retool the car?
But yes! 40 years or so on the Pinto does look pretty cool - and it's ability to squeeze a big motor into it's featherweight frame is always going to appeal to the likes of me!
One of those (IMO) supercool cruising wagons, complete with fancy graphics and portholes, turned up on ebay a couple of years ago (in the UK) and I bid it for a while but was massively outbid.

This was for sale round the corner recently   My wife loves to be reminded that in an earlier life her boyfriend had a Pinto Cruising Wagon with the custom stripes and portholes - by which of course I mean, she hates to be reminded of this fact. I think I'll email a picture of one to her now... |

I gotta say, the wagons are particularly handsome cruisers! They have aged very well.
