In regard to Ford Pintos, someone had mention back in Aug of 2000, how Pintos had exploded as they were getting rear-ended. However, did Ford ever take care of that problem? Also I read somewhere that the Canadian Ford Pinto never exploded when they were hit from behind when tested in Phoenix Arizona in 1977 by NHTSA.

a 1972 Ford Pinto for $3,000. It say that it's in a excellent condition and it only have 5,000 miles in it. I was wondering if it's a perfect classic car collection. Also, is the Ford Pinto has been a very reliable transportation in the 60's and 70's.

after a few months of going back and forth (4 times), and with help from ford customer service, i got ford to service the vehicle for the emergency brake light coming on and the service brakes message coming on.

As a result, Ford could get by with using a 4-cyl engine as standard, and it probably wasn't much worse than a Volare with a 225 1-bbl or a Malibu with that tiny 200 V-6 they offered for a few years. Ford's 200 inline-6, which would've been hard-pressed in a car like a Granada or Maverick, would have done much better in a lighter Fairmont.

I'm looking for an affordable, domestic, older car. Since aging boomers have driven the late-60's/early 70's cars beyond my price range, I'm looking at 75+, probably up to the introduction of smog equip (I recall from experience as a kid that early smog stuff wasn't very efficient and took a big performance hit).

The brakes need replacing very 20,000 and dealership charged me $1000 bucks for all four brakes. Customers have every right to be dissatisfied with a poor vehicle or poor dealer performance whatever the make, but some reports need a little context, I think.

I went to a local Ford dealership informed them of the issue, and I now have a brand new Ford Focus with a warranty. :shades: I like the car, and I hope it does last a while. It gets better gas mileage than the Cruiser did. The handling is superior quality too. The seat is a little uncomfortable, but the Focus makes up for it on road handling.
