Title: 1974 Pinto Wagon
Post by: roost on October 28, 2014, 07:28:17 PM
Unfortunately time to sell my '74 Pinto wagon. My daily driver for 5 years, runs exceptionally well. Originally came with a 2.0l 4-speed, the original owner converted it to a 2.3l C3 auto. Odometer shows 156,490 miles, but it's not accurate as the big and littles make the speedo off by about 15%. Not a big deal though since this car has been maintained & modified better than far newer cars.
New: radiator, starter, distributor, Esslinger adjustable cam sprocket (currently 2* advanced), motor mounts
Very recently replaced: 2.3 shortblock bored 1mm over, rack, spring bushings, rear shocks, carpet, water pump, battery, Comp Cams (higher lift, tad more duration). Custom carb spacer to raise the intake plenum.
AM/FM/CD/USB/ stereo, 6" 2-way front speakers, 6x9 2-way rear speakers. Needs a few things, and has the normal dings (what 41 year old car doesn't?), but is a blast to drive. There's more I'm sure, but it's a car you have to see to appreciate.
Located in Anaheim, CA $3,500 obo

Sweet wagon! I used to ride in one when I went to summer camp as a kid.

With a divorce rate of over 87% in the USA why would anyone in there right mind do it. I guess there still is those who are insecure or prey on the insecure. Just think of all the things you could of kept or even achieved on a lone path not using someone....makes you a solid independent individual. It cost a grip just to date but at least you can escape an on to the next.

Where did you come up with 87%? Even the generally accepted 50% is misleading as many divorced people get divorced again skewing the figure. Sounds like ya gots a little baggage.....

So everyone has the facts and not opinion (and to get a "For Sale" thread back on track).
According to Divorcerate.org:

" What is the present divorce rate in America?

The statistics regarding the divorce rate in America often report a 50% overall rate of divorce. However, this data is not really very accurate, though it is quite close to the real figures. As per the 'Americans for Divorce Reform', an approximate of 40-50% of marriages in the U.S., would end in legal separation if the present trends are likely to continue. This is only a projection. There are many factors contributing to the upward trend in the divorce rates and the laws pertaining to divorce are one of them.

"50% of all marriages in America end in divorce"


According to the Forest Institute of Professional Psychology:

    The divorce rate in America for first marriage is 41%
    The divorce rate in America for second marriage is 60%
    The divorce rate in America for third marriage is 73%

Carry on......

I would say those numbers are going to drastically change because gay people can now get married

Why are you selling it?

What do you figure your MPG?

Want something economical and reliable.  The modern suck boxes just don't do it for me.

Bought a new car and the driveway's not big enough. I tend to bury my foot and get 18 mpg 60/40 street/hwy. If you have self control your mileage would likely be better. If not, I'll have a modified 38/38 Weber available separately that should make driving even MORE fun!

Now the real test of self control for me is, reliable transportation or AnthonyH3's 71 Hallett?

Cheers,
