Once again, Pinto WAGON. Different than the Pinto.
There were no factory built front wheel drive Pintos / Pinto Wagons.
There were no factory supply lines sending the necessary front end (FWD transmission) stamped structural and suspension components that would be placed in body framework, for welding. Nor FWD driveline components in the supply system.
But, a Ford Motor authorized, or other, shop might have built a few FWD Pintos. The greater Detroit area has several capable shops that do project and short run production work for vehicle manufacturers.
The clue, is the 5 on the floor - 5 forward and 1 reverse manual transmission. Typical for a custom build.
Meanwhile, custom work at a Ford assembly plant, requires some harmony among management and labor. And the work was usually done at the end of model year production. An example would be some stainless steel versions of a few car models.
Once again, the Pinto WAGON did not have FWD.

The Pinto was marketed in three body styles through its production: a two-door fastback sedan with a trunk, a three-door hatchback, and a two-door station wagon.
The wagon shared the same RWD drivetrain as the hatchback.
And again, Ford's first U.S. produced FWD car was the Ford Escort.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ford_Escort_(North_America)
The North American variant of the Ford Escort is a compact/small family car introduced by Ford in 1980 for the 1981 model year. Sharing its name with the third-generation European Ford Escort, the model line is the first front-wheel drive Ford developed and sold in North America. The direct successor of the Ford Pinto, as the smallest Ford car in North America, the Escort largely replaced the European-imported Ford Fiesta.
Ford also around the same time imported the European Ford Fiesta, which had FWD.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ford_Fiesta
US models were Base, Decor, Sport, and Ghia, with the Ghia having the highest level of trim.[7] These trim levels changed very little in the Fiesta's three-year run in the US, from 1978 to 1980. ... In the US market, the North American Ford Escort replaced both the Fiesta and the compact Pinto in 1981, competing with the Chevrolet Chevette and Chevrolet Cavalier.
Now, if you told me you had a Ford Escort Wagon in college, and that it had FWD and went like stink in the snow, I'd believe you. If you told me you had a '78 Ford Fiesta with FWD, I'd believe you.
But if you insist that you had a Ford PINTO WAGON with front wheel drive, well I respectfully disagree that Ford ever made such a thing for the U.S. market.
