Might want to be sitting down before checking the sale price on this Pinto.

Seems like a lot but when I think of the $70,000 price tag on a new pick-up truck, it doesn't seem so bad.

Perhaps buyer has too much money and had too many drinks, at the end of the day it's still a Pinto!

Those auctions are so damaging to the hobby. That said, I would LOVE to have that Pinto! I love the wagons and what color's better than Jade Green?! Even with a green interior! Oh, baby!

I don't know Brad. Event though this is a Bobcat and a hatchback, this Tangerine with orange interior is pretty nice

I'll grant you that IS seventies-tastic.

All the plaid makes my eyes hurt LOL. I always liked the pintos. When I was drag racing s guy showed up with a sweet wagon stock 351 running 13s

i was at mecum indy this year and there were 3 pinto wagons just like this there and 2 were factory 4 speeds, all were original and low miles. they all sold for under 10K. around 8k each if i remember right. weird this one went for so much.

lol...that article is fake news! Its just the powers that be trying to create and promote inflation.

For that kind of coin, I was expecting a Black Jade '72 wagon with blackwalls, on jackstands, nubs still on the tires, and 3 original miles. Kind of a letdown!

Unless the same words are repeated again..... and again.

Guess this means that all the basket case Pinto's are now worth $5000.
