For several years we had a 72 Wagon, 2000 with automatic. Wife really liked it, but time to move up to something bigger, got the inlaws Fairmont wagon (squire) with 302 and air.
Pinto went to a friend, got t-boned by a Mercedes driver who thought stop signs did not apply to the rich and famous.
He drove it for another year, bent sideways, steered funny, but ran fine.
Good cars, far beter than their comptition (Vagrants)
