@itsmegp46 Funny..mine was a 1975 128..fortunately I got rear ended and it was totaled by the insurance company . The could have totaled it for having less than 1/2 tank of gas..even at 1975 prices it wasn't worth filling up

@homemoviescolorado Hah! I had the exact same experience. Went from a Pinto to a Fiat 128. Purchased new in 1974. By the time 1975 ended, the 128 was barely running.

I had a 3 speed manual 1972 sprint also, thanks for posting it carried me many miles and held a boatload of good memories.

I had a 72 Sprint automatic . Thanks for the memories. Great little car unless you needed to go uphill. Traded it in on Fiat..from bad to worse. I painted a model in the Sprint style for the shelf in my office

Identical to my first car except mine was a 3-speed.

really? 3 speed manuals were not an option for the Ford Pinto. Do you know what type was installed/swapped in?

Have no idea. My father gave it to me when I turned 17 in 1980. My stepmother had it before me and she only had it for a short time. It was falling apart at the seems. My father-in law helped me rebuild alot of the engine. I sold it two years later for $500 and have regretted it to this day.
It definately had a three speed transmission though and it was identical to the one in your video.

Thanks for sharing the story, the sprints are a rare paint/interior combo and 1972 only. Nothing special for preformance or suspension just the looks. Part of the Mustang, Maverick and Pinto set all painted similar with similar interiors.
