California/Arizona car Mostly original Chestnut Metallic exterior
with Tan interior Three-door Runabout model Auto Meter and Stewart
Warner gauges Mach One style hood scoop Documentation includes
original owner's manual While it looks like a typical Malaise Era
subcompact on the outside, this wee Ford has a secret under the
hood and possibly one of the best sleeper cars we have had in our
inventory for some time. MotoeXotica Classic Cars is tickled to
present this 1976 Ford Pinto Turbo Hatchback. Yes, that's right,
under the hood is a modified turbocharged 2.3L inline four-cylinder
engine transplanted from a 1988 Ford Thunderbird Turbo Coupe.
Backing up that boosted motor is the turbo coupe's five-speed
manual transmission and an eight-inch rear differential. This Pinto
is very fast and just too much fun, something that Ford should have
done from the factory! Amuse your friends with the power this
small, light car generates and surprise fellow drivers who think
you'll be the last one away from a stop. Ford enthusiasts will find
this Pinto the ultimate sleeper car that still even sports it's
unassuming 13" stock wheels! Made in February 1976, at Ford's San
Jose, California assembly plant, this car was shipped to the Los
Angeles area. This car's mostly original Medium Chestnut Metallic
paint is in good condition with some minor blemishes while the trim
is in fair shape. The glass sections are in good shape and
crack-free, as are the lights, which are intact and clear. All of
the body panels are in good shape, including the Mach One hood
scoop, and the cargo area in very good order. The engine bay is
reasonably tidy and the battery is in very good shape. The bumpers
are decent condition. Car rolls on 155/80R13 radial tires with
13-inch wheels with factory wheel covers. Inside, the tan recovered
seats are in good shape while the matching carpet is in fair
condition. The headliner needs some attention, however. The
instrument panel is in very good condition with Auto Meter and
Stewart Warner gauges to monitor the actions of the turbocharged
engine, while the three-spoke aftermarket steering wheel, door
panels, mirrors, center console and shift lever are all in good
shape. Rounding out the interior is a factory AM/FM stereo.
Competition to this Pinto in 1976 included AMC's Gremlin,
Chevrolet's Chevette and Mercury's Bobcat. Documentation includes
original owner's manual. This car is currently located at our
facility in St. Louis, Missouri. Current mileage on the odometer
shows 109,414 miles. It is sold as is, where is, on a clean and
clear, actual mileage title. GET OUT AND DRIVE!!! VIN:�6R11Z136600
