Ford Pinto 140 CID Inline 4 1980
General description :
For sale in our Detroit showroom is this awesome 1980 Pinto Wagon. This White with Blue Plaid Cloth and Vinyl interior Wagon is a restored third-owner rust-free, southern car that has less than 65,000 original miles on it. This Pony Wagon is powered by a cast-iron 140-cubic-inch, 2.3 liter ford "Lima" inline four-cylinder engine that produces 88 horsepower. It was the only engine available in the Pinto for 1980, which was the car's last year of production after 2.1 million Pintos were sold over 10 years. Of interest is the number of original factory options on this Wagon, such as Cruise-O-Matic automatic transmission, factory A/C, rear defroster, power steering, roof rack and dual sport mirrors. The car was made into a "Stallion" tribute car, with factory 1976 Stallion fender decal, and matching tri-color pin-striping to mirror the Stallion package offered on Pinto Coupes, Mavericks and Mustangs for 1976 only. To add an extra touch, a full set of Ford "Lacey Spoke" alloy wheels in a gloss black powder-coat finish wear blue reflective stripes and factory Pinto-logo chrome center caps to set the car off as a perfect cruiser. Drive a piece of American automotive history with this rare find -- a solid, exceptionally clean, well-maintained, one-of-a kind Pinto Wagon!

About Ford
Ford, founded in 1902, has arguably changed the history of automotive world more than any other car manufacturer by introducing the first people's car Model T in 1908. They had produced more than 15 million cars by the end of the production in 1927, by which T had become obsolete.Ford launched the first low priced V8 engine powered car in 1932. 1932 V8 was an instant hit with superior handling and performance to many far more expansive cars of the day. No wonder 32 V8 Ford has become such a favourite among hot rodders around the world with 32 Deuce coupe as their icon.
During the war Ford completely shut down civilian vehicle production to dedicate all its resources to the Allied war efforts (1942-45) They used to build B-24 bombers, aircraft engines, jeeps, M-4 tanks, military trucks and Bren-gun carriers and more than 30,000 super-charged Rolls Royce Merlin V-12 engines for Mosquito and Lancaster bombers as well as P-51 Mustang fighters. After the war Ford cars in the USA got bigger and flashier along with their competitors. In the 60's Ford was back in the forefront again when introducing their commercial hit Mustang in 1964. Mustang was so popular the competition had to follow Ford's example and the ponycar phenomenon took over the US. Over the years the ponies grew some muscles until the oil crisis kill finally killed them off.
In the sixties Ford rushed into international motor sports scene with a fury. After unsuccessful Ferrari takeover, when Enzo Ferrari had cut the deal off with Henry Ford II making the latter absolutely boil with fury, Ford turned to Lola in UK to produce a Ferrari beating long distance racer after. The collaboration between Ford and Lola created the mighty Ford GT40 that absolutely beat Ferrari in Le Mans 24 numerous times.
In Europe, Ford introduced some of the most epic race and rally cars of the 60's based on humble family sedans; Cortina GT, Lotus Cortina, Escort Twin Cam, and Escort 1600RS with the iconic Cosworth BDA engines.
Today classic Fords are extremely popular with enthusiasts and a great selection of classic Fords can be found for sale at www.ClassicDigest.com
