Pinto’s and Maverick’s were just as bad but they sold millions of them.

I had a 74 Pinto, $2500 brand new!......................

I had a pinto. Traded it in after 75,000 miles with no major repairs.

I had a Pinto or a Vega, but can’t recall which now. IIRC, it handled Alaska snow pretty well.

“Pinto’s and Maverick’s were just as bad but they sold millions of them.”

And we knew how bad they were but they still sold. Why? Because there is a market for them. We don’t need The Government mandating fuel mileage because the market will determine that. Fuel mileage and a lot of other things.

At least the Maverick had a bit of style compared to the Pinto and Vega.

My wife had a '72 Maverick when we first met. That thing was bulletproof.

It lasted through three generations of family members as a hand-me-down first car. It had an inline 200 6 and I guarantee you it handled all of the abuse offered and kept on chugging along.

I would buy another one.

And I had a Maverick I got used. I got almost 1k miles with it before the hood latch broke and the hood broke my windshield.

Not by a long shot!
