Still running great, sold it in 1980 to an Indian student for $1600. Revved it for him to listen to the great "race sound" of the engine's original "aluminized" muffler. 😀

:) I will say that my Pinto... as humble as it was.. got me to and from high school and college. In snow.. for whatever reason.. it did pretty well. Maybe because it was lower to the ground. Anyways, I lost it in a pretty bad wreck when I was 21. Some crazy (she was literally crazy) hit me head on. I cried for weeks at the loss. Hugs, Mom
