Comment II: Used2 have friend job: Auto ad producer! No more talk necessary!

Simply... Don' makem as they used 2!

Our family had gas guzzlers. Parked them for 2 pintos in 73. One a 71 model. Second one a 73. . Both 4 speed. Friend of ours had hotrod Chevy 4 speed..she sold it to get Vega. She was shifting it one day and her foot went into the floor. One year old rust bucket. She never got chance to blowup the engine. Our 73 had absolutely no horsepower. But it ran till 1985. 150,000. Rear end quit. Top loader shifter came out of gate. Me on a date borrowing mom's ride. "Watch this" lifted gear shifter and waved it at her" . Stop, let me out. Right now.😮

As long as you didn’t get rear ended they were good. A rearmed hit over 25mph and boom exploding gas tank🔥

Commecial convinces me to buy a Ford Cobra!

I picked the Gremlin over the Pinto as my first car. The engine choice was 232 or 258 cu inch 6 cylinder, or a huge 304/v8. That thing moved!

The 80s automobile was mostly trash.

Talk about false advertising.

The Ford Crew

YEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!!!!

Yeah

Starsky & Hutch.

Worth a lot of money now

So if these are hilarious today’s ads are just downright sad (oh, and for children). Great progress America.

These ads actually talk about features of the car, a lost concept.

I was 10 years old that year!! I remember this Mustang Jingle very very well!!

I loved my pinto!!!! I had the sports package. It seemed really safr

My 1st car was a 1974 Pinto

Other than the Bird really a ugly line up

My high school buddy purchased a new 1973 Pinto Runabout 4 speed Butterscotch color… Neat little car… I would later buy a triple Firethorn red 1975&1/2 Chevy Monza Towne Coupe with a Getrag 5 speed M/T… NowToday, our roads are Clogged with huge fuel gulping 4 door pick-up trucks ALL with bad exhaust systems, Folks knock the 1970’s… and THESE days are supposedly “BETTER “??? I THINK NOT.😳😬 CB

So easy to work on, even the gas tank could be replaced easily after an explosive rear end collusion. 😁 I owned an orange Pinto for 3 or so years, it was a decent car.

I saw this on Facebook and it’s such a banger.

I had a 1974 piss green color pinto. I bought it in 1981 for $775 I was in the 9th grade and drove it until 86. I 4 wheeled in it up rough hills. The only problem I remember is the clutch cable ball at the petal would break off and the clutch didn’t disengage. So I put it in 1st gear and started it with the starter and had to jerk it in neutral. I miss those days 😂

Hard to hit, easy to fix!

You know...In reality, other than the obvious flaw, they werent bad cars and to be honest, I still see them on the road today on the rare occassion.

That guy in the Ranger with his family's got like Parkinson's or something you can't stop shaking I got the truck

Miss those days as well 😢

Thunderbird one of the GREATEST 'cars designed and built!

I owned two Pintos. They were both great vehicles. Easy to fix, easy to keep gas in and just darn right fun little cars!

$1995 for a new car….now tires cost more.

easy to fix, unless you get rear-ended!! 🤣🤣🤣

Only 25 years after WWII we have a nazee selling Mustangs on tv! Man, I'm glad I grew up in the 60's/70's!!!

Pintos were employed as MP vehicles in West Germany in the 1970s. Military police also drove Mavericks there. They looked much more stylish and distinctive than the typical German cars which looked bland in contrast.

I've seen them with mag wheels and racing stripes. They looked super cool back then.

Stout trucks. They aren’t kidding about the tough chassis.

Coming September 11th? What is the they all owned Pintos and it was never about what we thought it was about 🤔

They weren't going for a land speed record. Just wanted to break the sound barrier.

Did break the sound barrier in 1979. Done.

Funny how in one shot, the Bewitched house is right next door… where Samantha and Darrin have their new Chevy parked just behind the fence

The problem with the pinto it would jamb the doors and burst into flames with a 30 mile per hour impact in the rear.

My sister and mother were killed in the auto accident. The Ford had been rear ended and exploded like a small bomb.… No I’m just kidding the Ford was great. It never blew up but I did ride in the back of it a lot and I can remember taking it to the Ford garage and having the gas tank fixed so it would not turn into a gigantic bomb.

My father bought my mother a Ford Pinot. It was brown with black interior. You ordered the back window tinted it did not come tinted.… It was a great car. My mother loved it me and my sister were so happy to have a new car and then it blew up.

I've had many cars during the last 53 years. Corvairs, pinto, Vegas, corvettes, Camaros, firebirds, mustangs etc etc Things were affordable. Life was good compared to today.

Watching the Demolition Derby with a PInto driving around, I thought it would get rear ended and blow up. Those things had gas tanks in front of the rear bumper.

Neat little gas tank that just may explode and incinerate you in a rear collision

Did you know that if you hit that car from the back the tank will explode.

Here is a sad story. A guy died in his Pinto, and the coroner looked at the tires, which were Firestone 500's. He called it the a suicide.

My first car. 1974. I loved that thing.

had 71 pinto was a great reliable fast little car...

My parents bought a brand new Pinto in 1974. It’s the car I learned to drive in. They kept it for 15 years. My dad could do anything mechanically for that car, and it was probably the most dependable of all the cars I’ve had experience with. I don’t know why it gets such a bum rap.
