- Let's look at this Ford Pinto in the junkyard. This one wasn't in terrible shape too bad no one saved it. Unfortunately cars don't leave this place in one piece.

#4👍🏼 Nice car jack! 😂
Those almost look like the 1968 Shelby style tail lights. 😮I think the Shelby is my favorite Model from Ford. 😍 💪🏼 Must be the muscle! ❤
Speaking of muscle... thanks for the tingles, Natey! 💋
Have a good one🌄🤘🏼
😎
Seen a couple of these with V8s in them. 👍
It would be a screamer with a V8
Few good parts still left Nathan 😎👍
@@HODGEPODGEDODGEGARAGE It still had a lot of good parts left
Cool 👍😎👍 love the plain dash… nice and simple!
@@Kevscancave It could have been a cool little car at one time.
@@NathansMoparGarage They were! 👍
Man ! I like that color , that body not bad 👍🏼
It could have been a good car to fix up.
Ya it doesn’t look too bad
How did i miss this video? Dang, that's too bad for that little runabout. Back in the late 70s my friend's parents had a 74 Pinto. Horrible, grubby, loud and slow little car. Oddly enough, my mom got to drive it once and she liked the crisp steering and composed ride.
It's weird how some videos and posts don't get pushed out until a couple days later. Someone we knew had one and that had pinto bean painted on the trunk lid 😁
My wife and I had a red pinto that looked just like that. It was a neat little car
@@THEMOFODRIVER. Nice
That's a shame. Pintos are going for good money today. Im surprised the yard didn't try to sell it. I would have snapped it up in a hurry if i knew it was available.
@@rickloera9468 That yard scraps everything unfortunately. I have seen a few cars I didn't think belonged in there.
Hey man we had one of those, it was in pretty dang good shape. Wish we would have kept it, I’m mopar but I appreciate the pinto lol
@@HustlehousePA1978 Nice, It was in decent shape to bad it ended up in the yard.
Not a bad body a small block ford with a rack & pinon oil pan with a C4 trans will bolt in on the same mount brackets as the 2.3 would be a quick flip ,,subed cool chanel Nathan 👍 👍
That would have made it a fun car. Thanks for subscribing. 😎
I was hoping it'd been one that had a 302 stuffed in it😊
@@crazyburkey3677 That would have made it a fun car.
Seen far worse what Pintos are in the salvage yards. That one could have been saved & still be on the roads. Sad ending really of this one being picked apart piece by piece!
@@harrymiller8538 It may keep a few other ones on the road.
@@NathansMoparGarage , I hope that will be the case. That one was complete & not a rust bucket or rat ruined one waiting for the crusher like the few that end up in a yard these days.
I tried to buy a 67 Mustang S Code 390 CID from a Yard in Illinois. They said by law they could not sell. It ended up being crushed.
There are only a couple yards that I know of that actually try to save cars anymore. Usually once they are in they are done for.
Candidate for a V-8 Swap.
@@Blu_Grit_Garage It could have been unfortunately this one was junked.
Easy fix... Shouldn"t be there!😢
Exactly where it should have been in 1980. It makes a Chevette look like a Cadillac.
@@moparnut6286 Someone gave up on it.
@@googleusergp Sounds like you love to hate it 😂
@@NathansMoparGarage Piece of junk.
Put a fuel cell in it though so it does not explode on you, like they are known to do.
@@Blu_Grit_Garage I have heard that a few times. It did have a plate on the gas tank.
That’s because the later ones didn’t have the problem at the early ones did. However, they were still pieces of crap.
😂
@@googleusergp I believe there was a deal where the exhaust clamps were facing the Gas Tank which made matters worse.
@@Blu_Grit_Garage I think there were a couple of things going on back then. I thought also some bolts were also puncturing the tank upon impact too. Either way, the Pinto and Bobcat were both heaps of junk.
😢🍟

In the 90s I walked up on a 1982 Dodge Rampage in Pick-A-Part gave the man 400 bucks he gave me the title and put it on a trailer for me it was so complete the keys were in the ignition the only thing I could find missing were two pieces of angle iron going down the bed rails those days are gone you can't buy nothing from these people
@@randysummerhays4168 That sounds like a cool find. There is only one or two yards that I know of that still save good cars
@@NathansMoparGarage took a 1980 Dodge D50 frame front half Chris Allison ladder bar rear half banged out 440 727 main inch giant go-kart
That sounds like a fun ride.
@@NathansMoparGarage people usually come into my muffler shop and say how fast does it go I would say Richie's they would say Richie's what do you mean Richie's you know Richie's Funeral Home fast
😂🤣
A heap of junk and exactly where it belonged since 1980. These were never good vehicles. This was a typical kicking and screaming entry into the US small car market.
We got the VIN, we win: 0 for 1980 model year, X for St. Thomas, Ontario Canada assembly, 10 for Pinto base two door, A for 2.3L (140 CID) four cylinder with Holley-Weber two-barrel aka "Horrible Holley-Wobbly Weber" and the rest is the production sequence. The St. Thomas plant closed in 2011. The Holley-Weber two barrel, like all of Ford's carburetion during this time are only good as door stops and paperweights. They are absolute garbage.
We got the tag, we can brag: 3F for Light Medium Blue exterior paint, 62D for Pinto two door base model, GB for Blue interior trim, 2 for AM radio without CB, Y for 3.08:1 rear axle ratio, non-locking, W for C4 automatic transmission AC with a blank means no factory installed air conditioning, and 41 for Chicago, IL sales district.
It made over 44 years before it ended up there.
@@NathansMoparGarage 44 years too late.
@@googleusergp 🤣
I used to take off those carb's & EGR plates then put on one of those 2bbl to 4bbl adaptors and install one of the smallest Holley 4bbls I could find. It would really wake up a 2.3l.
That sounds interesting 🤔 I guess the 4 cylinder is thirsty too.
