My family sold these two Pintos from my father in laws estate to Rev and Ole Man and we absolutely loved this video. Thanks for sharing and I know my father in law is smiling down from heaven.
Is the mustang or capri in the yard for sale?
We are so pleased that yall have watched and enjoyed... We are so happy to have gotten these cars running and hopefully back on the road... Thanks again for allowing me to own them and share these with our viewers... Thanks again.
Sorry your god sucks &blessings are to much to take 😔
Ino he is I love pintos runabout I hope he sale it to me cheap price I fill restore it
That's great they did and didn't get scraped . I bet he is happy we all get to enjoy seeing them
Love those Pinto's, hope you do more on them. Love to see a car wash and interior clean on the wagon.
More to come!
Love those Pintos. I've had three of them. Bought one (a station wagon) new.
Right on!
Rev, I haven't watched the video yet but I wanted to tell you the Pinto remains my favorite car. I had one as a 16 year old and many after that. While people today love complexity in their cars, I love simplicity.
I wish cars were simple nowadays. They are literally computers that can drive.
@@isaacsrandomvideos667 Yes they are. I daily a 1963 Plymouth Savoy and I will stick with that. Sure I have to open my door with a key, but I can make that sacrifice.
yessir, simple is better especially when it is time to fix it...cheaper too
I love these simple rigs too.. .Thanks for watching, commenting, and supporting..
@@RevStoration I am always excited to see Pintos. People wrote them off along time ago but they were great cars.. I had two cool Cruiser wagons with the port holes. I would daily one again.
Mustang II, Pintos, Mavericks, Ford sure was horsing around in the 70’s.
I’ll bet those shoes get more miles put on them than those Pintos, LOL!
Actually, these have become rare cars, you never see them, even at shows. It’ll be nice to see them cleaned up. Unique find, Rev, sounds like you bought them right.
I hope to get them both back on the road.
Talk her into driving it once. I had a 73 pinto runabout years ago. I absolutely loved it. One word of advice, if you put 8 adults in it, beware. The rear fenders will rub the tires. Oh, and don't hit any bumps.
I think 8 would be a little tight... but it is a fun story.
I injoy watching all the old cars being fixed up and getting them running
Thanks for watching we appreciate it.
My Father, God rest his soul bought a 1975 Pinto Squire Wagon with the Cologne V6! That Pinto was peppy!!!! He bought it around 1981, it was a very reliable car and even had A/C!!!! we grew up in a little town in Connecticut (in the sticks, lol).
I hope to get this one going with the AC working.. Thanks for watching.
That blue pinto with the 4 cylinder and manual transmission is good on gas both don't look too bad can't kill the old pintos
It is going to be a fun little ride.
If you want to sell either one let me know buddy. The misses didn't seem to happy lol
I have a 77 cobra ii. That I'm restoring I've had it since high school
Seems like good little engines! Wagons are really back in style now!
Thanks for watching.
When I was a teenager I almost bought a pinto like the runabout you got except light blue with a automatic it was actually in great shape it was probably a 10 year old car now back then people laughed at Pinto’s but I wanted a car so bad I do care what it was then a few days later found a lime green white interior Pontiac Grand Prix it was a 1975-76 one of those years and I bought it instead so seeing the pinto brought back some memories
I hope it is going to be a fun ride..
I had a 77 Pinto Wagon was my first car it was a great car wish I still had it
Thanks Harold..
I had a 71 hatch and a 79 wagon back in the day,loved them,alot of memories
We are going to enjoy getting these back on the roads.
I have had a couple of pintos back in the day, they were great.
I hope to get these running.. Thanks for watching..
Well it looks like you got yourself a pair of running pintos, one more and you got a heard 🐎🐎🐎 great job guys, always love your videos and may God be with you all 👍☮️🇺🇲
K S Everyone has heard of PINTOS,. DUH !!!! 🤔🙄😏
Thanks Kenneth... surprised to have gotten this ride running.
I had a '73 Pinto squire wagon that was given to me by my Father in Law I drove it to work for about a year and the transmission went out on it so I donated it. But my wood grain paneling looked good on both sides and as a matter of fact my Pinto Squire had the same green paint job as yours. Ah yes memories of long ago and I traded up quite a bit further than that now. But its always good to see you get those old cars running. Thanks for another great video Rev.
Larry... this is going to be a fun one to get em going.
Rev, it is great to see the two of you at it!!
Thanks Matt
I love your successes! I didn’t have a Pinto, but I had a “77 mercury Bobcat with a 4 speed that I loved. I brought my oldest son home from the hospital in it.
Fun car I am sure..
FORD Tuff! 20 plus years and both yard drive, Gotta love it. Cheers Guys.
Agreed... Cool experience... Thanks for watching.
Hey Rev love the Pintos, I am sure Ms.Nikki T will come around and enjoy the car.Hope to see more of this old girls!
Thanks Kat
Now that I see inside the wagon, I hope you do get it running, if so , open up the windows and let the ugly blow right out !
Lots of ugly... but alot of fun too.
I had a squire back in the 80’s as my work car. Really enjoyed it. The timing belt is very easy to change and should be the first thing you do on both of them. Had three of those engines, the squire and two Rangers. Always had real good luck with all of them.
Thanks for watching..
Hi Rev and the Ole Man. You did well there with these two. I am surprised that the rubber cam belt didn't break after all the time they have been standing. Cam belt breakage was very common on Ford pinto engines in the UK in the 70s and 80s. Great stuff as always and another enjoyable video. Cheers Chris.
that is true about the rubber time belt on them
I need to replace these for sure.
I replaced mine on the side of I-81 in Virginia around 1993 😃
Good times
From what I remember, the timing belt is something to check if not running well.
Most certainly.
I think I talked about the 76 Pinto run-a-bout I had , but it was a V-6 auto that had duel pipes pulled back to 2 resonators then into 1 muffler . Took it to the muffler shop has it duels all the way back to Monza mufflers at the right side , it sure opened that car up so it could breath . It had 2 cad converters , 2 resonators, then 1 big muffler , it was choked down .
Fun little ride I am sure.
Love the content, reminds me so much of when I still had my dad around.
As usual thanks for the CLEAN content!!!!
Thanks Kevin..
Absolutely love the wagon! You just don’t see them around here anymore. One of these days I hope to find one to redo and daily drive it.
Hopefully, we can get this one back on the road before too long..
Hey rev and old man , good to see you all again. Amazing those cars run after all those years. If any one gonna get em running it be you and dad. Crazy stuff. Keep trucking. Peace out.
Amen... Thanks Pappap
Keep working on NikkiT Rev. She will come around. Heck, I had several Pintos over the years and got well over 100K on them. Best little get around car ford ever built. FYI the 2.0 or 2.3 were the best motors to have in them.
I had a 1972 sedan with the smaller 1.6L over head valve and it lasted a long time.
Amen... she will come around... Thanks for watching.
“It’s not luck , it’s blessed “👍🏻
Amen.. Thanks for watching..
After all the people got burned up from rear end collisions in Pintos, a lot of people parked them, I had one and sold it after people were being enveloped in flames. Good luck!
I just try to be the one moving fast and not slowing down.. I understand they have a marred history..
Just don't let anyone slam into the back end of 'em, and you'll be good! Nice score, Rev!
Thanks for watching as always.
It was one year only and Ford remedied the problem. Audis from that area were exclusive and if you drive a Kia or Hyundai-they catch fire.
That pinto wagon has all the potential. Would make a good junkyard crawler
Amen
WOW I did not know there was a Pinto left on the Earth, I had a few of 'em WAY back when!!! They were a lot of fun to drive..
I am glad to own a couple of them.
Engines are sounding good. Bless you and your family.
Amen... Thanks Pappap
In 73 I worked on a lot of pintos. From the front to the back. I was in a ford school that my father-in-law got me in to. Love it.
Couple good rigs there they started like a dream, can't wait to see them cleaned up, all the best to yous and your loved ones
Donald, I was surprised and excited at the same time.
Man what a find!!!! That wagon is awesome!
Dale.. I am grateful to have them... Thanks for watching..
The pinto in England is well known as a 20L or a 1.6L really good race engine hard to get now due to the age but they will not let you down great content in well enjoying it 👍👍
2.0 and 1.6 here too.. Thanks for watching.
I’d rock that wagon!!!
Me too
Looks like y’all came out alright on the two Pintos! Looking forward to see how they shape up.
I believe so
Great video glad you posted keep them coming thanks
Thanks, will do!
My uncle had a runabout and my mom had a station wagon brings back memories
Sweet rides... Thanks Brian.
Hey y'all, My grandmother used to have a little pinto runabout. Great little car. Then my uncle bought it and put a 289 in it and made it even better. lol, It was a little bullet on wheels. We had a blast with that little car. Nikki T don't beat them too bad. God bless y'all. Love the content keep it coming.
Thanks Brother.. We are going to make this car fun again.
Oh well, you just caught the old man coming out from behind the car zipping his pants back up. Good Lord, he took a whiz behind the ford!!😂
I just saw that too... It happens when working on these ole rigs..
A relative of mine had a slightly bent Pinto back in the 70s and christened it the "BENTO".
Love it... Bento would work for either of these...
I LOVE Pintos! It's been fun watching these Pinto videos. I had several Pintos in the 70s & 80s - reliable & economical to own. Wish I still had one.
With your record of fires these are right up your alley 😆 still love the videos. I had a blue 72 wagon. Originally it was green. Wasnt a fast car but I did like the looks
Amen.. Keith..
cant wait to see the exterior wash and interior detail of these!
Those old 4 cylinder OHC were tough engines. I had one the timing belt broke on going to work one night. I kept one behind the seat of my Ranger. Changed it and was only 45 minutes late for work. True story Rev. Love yur videos i gaurantee.
Hi guys. You did super with two runners!! Wow, I am amazed. Great purchase Rev. Be well. Big Al.
Big Al... I was genuinely surprised... Pleased that they ran.
Nice video I think you guys would make a good father-son team God bless
Nice Find! Love Pintos I have 2 wagons- one is 7 feet tall mounted on a 69 Bronco chassis!! You can clean that wagon up and if You ArmorAll the woodgrain you will be amazed it will look like New I had a woodgrain one years ago and when it is faded like that ArmorAll works wonders on it.
Wow! I will have to give it a try... Thanks for watching..
I had a 1972 Ford pinto wagon back in 1977. Good cars. It had a 2000 cc engine. 122 cubic inches. Do a clean up video,and get them roadworthy!
Will do.. thanks for watching Randy..
Mustang II, Fairmont and Mercury twins fit pinto 4cyl. Some pinto V-6 have 5 lug wheels (14")
I got plain Jane green wagon with parsley swirl green cloth inserts. 1974 color name "Anti-establishMINT green" cleaned up with Rust-Oleum brown rust spots and car looks like peppermint. Chocolate chip ice cream. My 1970 coupe is robin egg blue. Both got under 82 k miles
Awesome video. Can’t wait to see more of these two!!!!
Coming soon!
I'd say you done good! Bit of history you've got there...and they ran!
Surprised me too..
Hi Rev & Ol’ man, greetings from Scotland.
Great video, and a couple of nice acquisitions. The wagon especially could clean up real nice.
I hope you do a follow up on both, perhaps showing a clean up and service of both vehicles. It would be interesting to see how they run after a decent service.
Incidentally Rev & ‘Ol man, any more trucks upcoming ?
Good luck to you both & Niki T & the family.
As always thanks for posting the video & keep em coming!.
Cheers. John
Thanks John.
take the 4 cylinder out of the runabout and drop in a 302 then she will love it, went to school with a guy that had one like that. it was close to being incontrollable
It would be too much for me..
Hopefully you do a vid cleaning and driving those cars awesome vid
Yep... coming soon.
Even though I pick on the pinto’s, I enjoy watching my hubs have fun restoring these old cars. I love the joy he has when he gets to tinker with these Fords!
Me too! Baby... We will have fun riding these down the road before too long.
Love em. Owned em. Really like em. Thanks preacher. Hey ole man and Nikki. Y'all be good. And many blessings brother...
Thanks for your support.
I love those 2 door hatchback runabouts!!! Make sure to remove and replace the timing belt. See if you can get your son interested in fixing up the Pinto with you. That would be great video content. Once he gets involved in revstoring the Pinto Runabout he can drive it to school!
I will most certain be fixing this one up.
man you just made me day i want a pinto wagon so bad i own a 1978 pinto runabout and i just love it
These rigs are going to be fun to work on for sure..
Friend of mine use to have a red one just like your blue one . He cleaned out every ditch in Tallahatchie county in the early 90’s. He would get wound up on a few Old Milwaukee Best and run in ditches. We use say the county should send him a check for keeping the ditches clean.
Fun ride for sure..
Pintos are kind of a guilty pleasure car of mine. I think they get too much hate. Gotta love old vehicles. They can sit for a long time then fire up like they were parked yesterday.
You guys are great, God bless you all and stay safe!!
HowDoRev&Old man? I've owned five pintos back in the eighties and early nineties,71,72 -two-73squire wgns and a 76 hatchback in 1992-93.Man,I sure had a lot of fun driving them,and my fair share of head aches with them as well. You sure have a couple of keepers with many potential options.Oh Betty? Otherwise,I had a blast with em' have fun! 😁😁👍✌️
The blue pinto was my first car and love that car . Still wish i had that car
Thanks... I am going to enjoy getting this one on the road.
@@RevStoration most people hate them but you can do a lot of fun thing to them turbo change. I did my what a mustang 2.3 turbo changer . Ran like a 302
I'd call the lil green wagon "sweet pea" preacher. it might clean up pretty good.
Not a bad idea..
Couple great finds. Let me know if either will be for sale. God Bless and keep em coming. Be safe.
Thanks
Good Lord Almighty... What a pair of Pintos. All the best to y’all Rev, NikkiT & Dad from Jerome & family in California.
Thanks so much.. God Bless
This is the first car I actually first drove a ford pinto station wagon my brother had one in the 1970s I wasn't old enough to get drivers license yet I was a kid when I was taught how to drive for the first time in my life as a young lad it's the same exact color my brother owned years ago
They are fun cars and I hope to get them going before long..
@@RevStoration I hope so they don't make them like that anymore
The little wagon is the same color as my brothers 73 maverick was,I repainted it to the original color and it's called medium lime yellow !
I have owned a 73 maverick but it was dark green.
7:41 maybe those keys fit the one in the woods.
Potentially
I want both of those cars! Especially the runabout
Going to be fun little rides for sure.. thanks for watching..
I like the wagon alot. It's a two door wagon. That's so cool.
I love it too...
Excellent video Rev :) Old Man :) get Pinto cars up running nice again also Rev you want now writing on Time Chain cover means on service did to engine like Time chain or belt or Thermostat changes plus fluid to or anything! But got get those car on road Lol!
Thanks for the info!
Love me a pinto and have had many ! Best was a 1974 that was yellow. My friends mom bought it new , i got it in about 1997 with 33,000 miles on it ! Would love to see you two race each other pinto to pinto once you get them running smoother ! lol
This is going to be a fun ride for sure.
Thank you David for that and you're APPRECIATION to your subs
We most certainly are grateful for each.
I knew it was a pinto station wagon. Just had a feeling that was the picture i seen. My gramps had a brown pinto wagon and it was a pretty good car.
Yep... you were right... Thanks for watching.
Imagine that Pinto with a stick shift and it's close to the car we had to push to school...
Going to be fun for sure.
OLD FORDS NEVER DIE,THEREJUST RESTING!!!!!!great video!!!!
Amen... Thanks
i had a 1973 pinto run about it wasn't the best car i ever had but it was definitely the must fun great video God bless
Thanks Robert
I had 2 Pintos.
My first was a red '75 Runabout hatchback with absolutely no power anything.
No air
Manual 4 speed
Manual brakes
Manual steering
My second was a 1977 Runabout full glass hatchback with air, power steering and brakes.
Flew to Oklahoma to buy and drove back to Michigan.
2.3 litre engines in both.
I ran the doo doo outta both and were some of the easiest engines to service.
Thanks for the memories.
My Grandma had a wagon like that when I was a kid, same color, same wood panel decal. I liked it, but sadly it caught fire under the hood and got replaced by some other less memorable car.
Very nice find, I’ve been looking for a 71-72 runabout for a bit now, can’t really find em out west anymore
Im pleased to own these..
Whoa....! Check out that Vintage Pinto. Very cool. 😎 How many junkers do you all have left?
Fun rides for sure... Thanks for watching.
I graduated high school in 78. And joined the USAF in August 78. I bought a brand new 79 Pinto when I got to Wright Patterson AFB in Dec 78. It was a good car. It cost less than $3500. Including tax, title, tags, etc. I kept it for 6 yrs and sold it for $1200.
My pinto was a "Pony". No air, no power, no radio. 2.3 liter 4 speed.
Good times and I hope to bring this one back
I've always liked the pinto wagons,looks great!
That takes me back! The only car I ever changed the engine on was a Pinto.
That color of green was the color of my first car a 74 Mercury Comet. I loved that car and I wish I could find another.
Hey Rev, old man, and the rest of the revstoreation gang! The question should be "will they blow up"! I love the wagon, drop that 352 or that 312 you got laying around or better yet, the 260 ! Keep them coming and God bless! Are the chiggers free? Good luck!
@@greasy8eyes Don't confuse people that know nothing with facts.
Hopeful that they do not.
@@greasy8eyes I stand corrected Sir! I am humbled in your presence!!!
I need a couple of those in my life for sure.
Can't beat a old Ford thay can set for years and still run with a very little work God bless you all
Thanks David
Great video, the blue one would look good with a set of white wagon wheels
That little roundabout with a 289 or 302 would be fun!
My friend SAM TAFLINGER up here in southern Indiana had the 2300cc engine rebuilt next step up camshaft and the American 4-speed transmission with a 2:73-1 rear gear ratio. In second gear he was already doing 55-miles an hour. His little pinto out ran my Ford Pinto I couldn’t even catch up to him and I had a 4-speed German transmission and I had a 2000cc engine with a 3:8-1 gears ⚙️ in the rear axle. And I had the pedal to the floor. And we still had the factory two bbl carb’s on the engine’s all rebuilt.
Those inline 4s always made me nervous with those belts. Im always afraid theyre gonna snap.
No doubt... gotta get this one repaired before long.
Look real close at that right front unibody frame rail for structural rust damage, other than that it should be easy to fix up one or both of the Pintos. Those battery trays would corrode away from the leaking battery acid!!!
We are going to get them going and I will check the frame
My brother had one just like this you got it lookin great
