  • FORD PINTO: WORST AND MOST DANGEROUS CAR EVER!

  • Perhaps not the worst and not the most dangerous either. Only 1 model year had the issue with the exploding gas tanks. Didn't the 70s Chevy trucks with the gas tanks behind the cab blow up too? Pintos were a simple design and fortunately easy to fix if something broke. Junk yard parts were plentiful too way back when.

  • Actually ford corrected that problem in the early 70s these are good little cars my cousin has one with over 320,000 miles on it a 80 pinto hatchback he just rebuilt the engine and tranny great car gets about 30 32 highway too better looking than a focus thats for sure

  • I agree with all of the above but the last part about the Focus. I think they are equally not so good looking. That being said, I'd put a 29 year old Pinto against a 29 year old Focus (if we could go into the future) and I'd bet the Pinto would be in better condition.

  • lol actually the pinto didnt burst into flames more often than any other car during that period. It was the notorious ford damage coverup that got it into trouble.

  • If I rememeber what my friend Wayne said many years ago... the MPG figures were for the Pinto Pony. It had a manual tranny, maybe 4 speed?, and a high ratio rear end to get that kind of mileage.

  • Announcer "why don't you join the family"

    Me "Because I don't want to blow up"

  • A guy at work lost his first wife in a Pinto. She was rear ended and the car caught on fire burning her to death. His baby girl was shot up (before car seats) under the dash somehow and was spared. She's 36 now, is married with two kids.

  • SMALL car? It's massive!  And Hideous!

  • 2-1/2 million? Idiots!

  • Wow, thats just wrong!

  • Correction: Retired @ age 59. Placed a total of 600-700 thousand miles on the 5 pinto/bobcat wagons. Model years 74-80.

  • Owned five pinto/bobcat wagons, model year 74-80, cars were used as everyday work car. Cars were very rugged , and reliable. Earned enough to retire @ age 50.

  • I had a 73 and had my gas tank fixed. It was a dependable car we passed through our families. Nobody disliked it...not one of us. It was fun to drive even with automatic.

  • @gearheadmatt . Did FORD correct the gas tanks from blowing up. That's probably why 1980 was the last year for the car, don't ya think. LOL

  • 1980 . Smile everyone. This piece of shit flame thrower is GONE !!! LOL
