The Ford Pinto is a subcompact car that was manufactured and marketed by Ford Motor Company in North America, sold from the 1971 to the 1980 model years. The smallest American Ford vehicle since 1907, the Pinto was the first subcompact vehicle produced by Ford in North America.
The Pinto was marketed in three body styles through its production: a two-door fastback sedan with a trunk, a three-door hatchback, and a two-door station wagon. Mercury offered rebadged versions of the Pinto as the Mercury Bobcat from 1975 to 1980 (1974-1980 in Canada[5]). From 1974 to 1978, the Ford Mustang II shared a common platform with the Pinto/Bobcat, though with a different unibody and powertrain assortment. For the 1981 model year, the Pinto was replaced by the Ford Escort, as Ford transitioned its product line towards front-wheel drive. Over 3 million Pintos were produced over its 10-year production run, with the Ford Pinto and Mercury Bobcat produced at Edison Assembly (Edison, New Jersey), St.Thomas Assembly (Southwold, Ontario), and San Jose Assembly (Milpitas, California).[6]
Since the 1970s, the safety reputation of the Pinto has been surrounded by controversy. Its fuel-tank design attracted both media and government scrutiny after several deadly fires related to the tanks rupturing during rear-end collisions. A subsequent analysis of the overall safety of the Pinto suggested it was comparable to other 1970s subcompact cars. The safety issues surrounding the Pinto and the subsequent response by Ford have been cited widely as a business ethics as well as tort reform case study.
For the 1977 model year, the Pinto received its first significant styling updates with slanted back urethane headlamp buckets, parking lamps and grille. The taillamps were revised except for the wagons. Runabouts offered an optional all glass rear hatch for the first time. Pinto wagons were given a new option package. Dubbed the Pinto Cruising Wagon, it was the sedan delivery version of the Pinto styled to resemble a small conversion van, complete with round side panel "bubble windows" and a choice of optional vinyl graphics.[36]
Ford offered new sporty appearance packages similar to those found on the Chevrolet Vega and AMC Gremlin but were strictly cosmetic upgrades that added nothing to vehicle performance.

Very glad Round 2 is re-issuing these older kits. It's sad to think the 72- 79 Thunderbird, 71-88 full size Ford , Any year Lincoln after 69, any full-size Mercury after 66, have all been ignored by the major kit makers.
Great build of an iconic 70's car.
I remember when I was an teenager my family had a 76 ford pinto it got us from point A to point B and back to point A and it was a basic pane jane pinto,thanks for sharing it brings back memories!!!!
Thank you and thanks for stopping by the channel and watching!

Looks exactly like the car from the movie Cujo, even the color. Great looking build as always Chris, keep up the good work!
Cool, thanks!
I love the Pinto design. Ageless.
I am so making this for my wife. Only difference, her Pinto was brown and had a window made out of a trash bag and duct tape. And her cassette was Frampton Comes Alive.
Make it happen. :-)
Did the cassette come in the mail with samples of Tide detergent?
I just have to ask...do you, feel like I do?
Frampton’s and Tom Scholz’ live guitar setups must have been interesting.
I had one when I was younger it was red and had a starskey and hutch stripe also a trunk ,,got like 30 mpg lol.Fun little car.
Love it! There’s way too much tread on them beater tires though. Throw them in a drill and wear em down like the car’s camber or toe is out.
Thanks Frank!
Elementary teacher twin sis had a dark green 76. She always was talking bout what a great car it was. Man you NEVER see one now. No refurbs. No Escorts either.
The only thing I would have done different is the tail lights. They were larger those later years and the red piece went on the outside of the rear panel. I had a 71 Pinto with the pre-emission 1600 and 4 speed. To me it drove like a taller MGB. I really loved that car!
Sweet little patina-ed Pinto. I wamt one.
Thanks Shannon!
This seems like a fun little kit. Have you done an AMC Pacer?
That came out awesome bro'!!! How much did you buy this kit for??? I've never built a pinto...
Thanks William this was sent by Modelroundup, link to it is in the description.
@@hpiguy Hey Chris are, you saying they sent you a freebie???!!!
Frampton comes alive was my only 8 track . Ha
Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment!

Buy 3 more kits for hubcaps lol
Right!
doublenickelbob sounds like something I would do
Why just one hubcap?
as far as age I am 18 yrs older,I'll be 60 on the 5th of next month .
I truly love your work ,you give me alot of great tips
Thanks Roger!
I had just finished this kit when I accidentally dtopped it. It landed on the back bumper and was consumed by fire in less than a minute! It must be a very accurate representation of the actual car evidently.
😂
Call Ralph Nader!
I kind want to get one and burn the back with a lighter and make a “junk yard” burned version as if It g out rear ended
BOOM!!!
@@Buick_the_rd.master I was thinking the same thing
OMG if this was an Escort it would be my car, down to the Wal-Mart stereo. It's lacking the coffee can and hose clamps on the exhaust. Yeah I was a typical 25 year old. Crappy car with a loud stereo. Great job, thanks for the trip down memory lane. Keep 'em coming, lovin' it. Build on Brother...😎
Thanks BillyBob!
That oil pan wasn't loose in the box. It was trying to escape, in case the box got hit from behind! lol
Really good model making, as always. I always thought that kaki was a tone of the color green. Well, learned something new today. As for people that would NEED the hubcaps, they just have to make resin cast of the one in the kit. I also agree with Round 2, this IS a pizza delivery vehicle!
NICE REALITY - a Pinto's runaway oil pan! (separate hatch to?)
Thanks man!
Very nice build bro! My first car in 1978 was a 1973 pinto haha! I loved that thing lol! Have you done a video showing your entire collection? I’d love to see it. Thank you for sharing your builds dude. There awesome!
Thanks Timothy!
I don't have a collection but scrolling down my videos will do the same thing, all of them are on here.
hpiguys Workshop thx dude! I’ve been watching all your videos and you do a great job. Do you build one a week or just whatever you happen to get done. I really enjoy them thx for sharing with everyone
Wow, this really takes me back - and the music couldn't be more appropriate! We had a 1976 Pinto that my father got - my sister and I were getting close to driving age and there was no way my mother would ever let us drive HER car (a 1974 Ford LTD), so my dad traded in our 1968 Cutlass on a new 76 Pinto. My sister got her license with the Cutlass but I got it with the Pinto (a lot easier for the parking, etc). It was an automatic with the T-shifter, and I remember driving down the road shifting from 1 to 2 to D, pretending I was driving a stick shift. I can onlyu imagine what I must have done to that transmission - I really put that poor car through its paces before I went off to college.
You literally could not kill that car (I'm pretty sure by the 76 model the explosion problem was eliminated - I think it was the 74 version that had that. When I graduated from college my sister was still driving the Pinto (my father had passed away my Sophomore year) and we stopped at the local gas station to fill up. The attendant asked her if she wanted him to check the oil, and I said YES - he did so, and came back to tell her that there was no oil. Did she want him to put some in? Imagine that - one can only imagine how long she'd been driving that poor car with no oil (the warning light probably burnt out from constant flashing and she never noticed). She eventually traded it in on an 82 Camaro - and no, she never paid attention to the oil on that car either. She had a guy friend come over to change the oil once and he said it was impossible since the oil had changed from fluid to a very thick gum that just would not flow out.
Nice story - loved how it rambled, yet you ket it in the car arena. Nice. Now, go build your sister this car for her next birthday - you'll be a star!
Thanks for watching!
Omg I had a 79 as my first car..in turd brown and gold interior. Great job👍 im gonna get one and remake my old car😎
Thanks Arthur!
It would be cool to see it
my second oldest sister had a '73 pinto
Impressive, once again you knock it out of the park! Would have been cool to sand one of the "FORD" letters off the hood to indicate a missing letter(they always seemed to fall off-LOL).
Reminds me off an ex co-worker(she retired) who owns a 1975 Pinto. It's yellow with tan interior, it super weather beaten(we live in SoCal). I think at one point she brushed on yellow paint to keep rust at bay.
Well done sir!
Thank you!
I remember them well, a rolling bomb if you got rear ended! However, rip off the front suspension and replace it with a solid front axle, narrowed 9" rear and throw in a blown 429 and it moves down the 1/4 mile really quick! Nice review, make us a Pinto Gasser next! LOL
Compare it to the Vega kit, two old rivals back in the day.
I drove one around in my day. It was light blue. I ended up painting camo patterns on it with a black spray bomb. My brother had a Pacer.
Another top build. You have a 'happy accident' scenic mountain Bob Ross style on your filter at the back of the spray booth! :)
LOL, thanks! I'm using up some scraps of filters I've cut. Nice eye!
Great vid, lots of great tips here! I'm not much of a car builder, but I just picked this kit up to build for my wife as a replica of the Pinto from the 70s Charlie's Angels series, so your advice will be incredibly helpful!
Cool kit that brings back a lot of memories. Pintos weren't such bad little cars. My cousin bought an early Pinto Squire wagon, brand new, while he was in the army. He drove that thing forever. I almost bought one in '79. but ended up with a new Mustang.
It's a fun kit for a break in a sea of muscle cars on the market.
Had to laugh at the"got himself a krako" bc I bought an 82 mustang notchback years ago that had a krako in the dash and sparkomatic equalizer in it. Memory lane Chris. Keep up the great work
How did cars ever survive the Spark-O-Matic "add-ons"? By supplementing them with KRACO gear! Yes, a beauty memory flog.
@@r.a.monigold9789 I won't lie, every time I adjusted the equalizer, I'd worry if sparkomatic would come true lol. But thankfully it never did. Despite the names, the equipment did work
Thanks William!
This is a great, simple kit. I agree very much on the FS hubs. Perfect for the relic build. I think you can't go wrong with the windshield clean along the wiper path. Lots of crappy weather in WI. Nice job on the video.
Thanks for taking time out of your day to watch and comment!
Join the fun on our Facebook page if you haven't already!
I still remember when the Ford Pinto was the hottest car around. Well after they got rear ended they were that is. Lol
dude , you must be about 50 years old, because you just described what I have seen , right here in Minnesota. From the WD40 in the locks, to slappin the Kraco in the dash.
Pinto's get a bad Rap for no good reason. I've had 7 different Pinto's during my life (53 yrs old) ranging from 1972 model to a 1979 model. I've had them with the 2.0L, 2.3L, had one with a 302ci, one with a 351W and had a Tube Chassis car with a Chevy 427ci that I ran Super Gas (9.90 index) with in the very early 90's. Never had any trouble out of ANY of them. All of this bad talk comes from Ralph Nader's Commentary, but that didn't make them any less dependable. Yes, the early models had issues with fuel tanks exploding in a major rear end collission with a much heavier vehicle, but after 2 years that problem was solved. The 2.0's and 2.3's were indestructible. My Son drove one from his Sophomore year in HS through College Graduation and the ONLY maintenance it ever got were when he would come home to visit and I would do it. There were times I would literally have to put 3-4 qts of oil in it to get it full. That means he was driving it with about a qt of oil in it and it never came apart. If I could find another one to buy reasonably priced I would buy it in a heartbeat.
Ric H No, they got a bad rap because several people died horrible deaths, and Ford was more interested in profits than making a small design change. Quit good reason I think. Ford got off lightly given they designed a crematorium on wheels.
Do a video showing all your models
Yes, please..
I would love that too!
Nice job on the Pinto. My Dad had a 1975 (I think) Pinto wagon when we lived in Florida that he used for his farrier service. Would really like to see a wagon of this car. That and a Maverick.
Thanks James!
Some questions:
1 - have you ever shown your work at or entered model show contests? This one would look especially great in a small diorama setting.
2 - I'd like to see a multi-part build where you get to detail some of your techniques for us all to marvel at.
Another first class job!
I don't do model shows. Thanks Simon!
Oh.... I forgot I have Fred Cady decals of Bob Glidden drag Pinto I want to do this car
"used beer farts".. as apposed to fresh ones.
Oh man LMAO
I guess you never know what comes used inside a used car especially those pintos,lol
Ok I’ve officially seen it all.... they made a model kit of a Pinto lol
They have a few of them out, a wagon too.
@@hpiguy Back in 1974(I was 9) I started getting into model car building and one of my 1st ones was a '74 Pro Stock Bob Glidden Pinto, complete with a Roush 351 Cleveland V8 and wheelie bars. My mom wouldn't let me paint it, so it was all molded white with whatever else came in chrome. I think I must've done a good job because an older cousin bought it off me at a $1 profit LOL
Memories. I owned a '74 Pinto with a trunk. I paid for it twice, once to buy and then a new engine and transmission.
I like your work more than all the other guys doing models on You Tube.
Thanks for taking the time to watch Mark!
Someone might make this as part of a diorama of a car on fire...
"used beer farts" 🤣🤣
NOW we know why car seats wear out.
“Beer farts” I laughed out loud on that one...
Not just beer farts, but used beer farts!
PINTO= Put In New Transmission Often
I'm the FIRST Commenter - EVER. Now I'll watch. see ya after...
Almost more ralistic than a real Pinto
LOL, thanks!
Thank you for the tips, it's very very helpful for us newbies.. it's never to much information... ;-)
Thanks for watching!
That car accident happened near where I live. US-33, Dunlap, Indiana. Three girls stopped in the road to retrieve a gas cap that they left on the top of the car and were rear-ended by a Chevy Van. The three girls burnt alive and died. FORD was aware of the problem they had with the Pinto. It was cheaper to pay off a lawsuit than have a recall and fix the problem so FORD opted for the cheaper of the two.🚗💥 🔥
I have plans to do a BOB GLIDDEN
PINTO DRAG CAR. MANY MANY years ago when I was manager of a Hobbyshop ( ALLIED HOBBIES)
When I was able to purchase for the store, I introduced to my car model customers "FRED CADY" decales. At the time , No other Hobbyshop sold car model access.
like my store. Allied had 8 stores and builders from the otger Allied Hobbies got wind of my store and the extra mile I went to promote car model building and tgey started traveling out of tgeir area to check out my store.
I brought in Cady NASCAR DECALS, FLOCKING, FUZZY DICE. ANYWAY, when I was 18ish
I got a bug up my ass about buying a PINTO and putting a 289 C.I. Engine in it with 50 wide tires, rear wheel flares. Back then it was ALOT easier to retro a Vega.
They had conversion kits but nothing for tge PINTO. SO......Either I am gonna build tge Glidden car OR a street rod.
Cool pinto... looking good... I like the not too over done used look
Thanks Doozer, me too!
Thanks for your videos Chris! I’ve just got back into car models after 50 years of being an “adult”. I’m going to use many if not all of your technics. I just ordered the portable spray booth you suggested in an earlier video. I will be using rattle cans. My question is do you get much, if any, paint spray outside of the booth? Thanks for your time.
Thanks David!
With the fan on very little overspray makes it anywhere but the filter.
My grandma had several Pintos throughout her life. She didn't just love 'em, she swore by 'em. The one I remember from my early childhood was a blue Pinto wagon.
I wish I could find a kit of that Pinto.
For ultra realism, part 2 should show it on fire.
LOL
A friend of mine had this. He swapped the engine out of one from a Mustang GT turbo and gave it a Starsky and Hutch paint job.
So ridiculous rear spring hangers in the back with the leaf springs actually flat. Some big rear tires, thread bare on mismatched mag wheels. One white letter and one blackwall on stock front rims. A slight lean, for that worn out shock look. Tailpipe with cherrybomb and wire holding it up, just barely. Highjacker airshocks with air lines wrapped everywhere. Maybe a primer front fender. I knew this car from highschool. Had a friend who drove "the Pinto of Pain", I drove the Dart......
Highschool in Goleta California. Currently in Plover Wisconsin.
I'm a '57. That's beautiful. Back in the day, I had a neighbor who drove a Pink Pinto. Bright Pink with Dice in the window. Before I retired I used to spend a lot of time in Wisconsin on business. Are you familiar with New Berlin?
My sister had the alternate version of this car: The Mercury Bobcat! I remember riding in the very back (hatchback) on the way to school in the mornings. Now, you'd get arrested and your kid would need years of mental therapy if you let them ride in the very back of a car. Sick and sad times we live in! LOL
The 1976-77 Ford Pintos were excellent cars to drive and were very economical, agile, and comfortable. Your modelling work is superb!
Thanks!
I have 3 Pinto kits, this is one of them. I don't want to build them cuz they are worth a lot of money I spent a lot of money on these kids a long time ago the one Pinto kit I have is called Pintera. When I was young guy in my 16 years of age you had people building Vega V8 cars but I wanted something different and I always wanted a V8 Pinto and I almost bought one but I couldn't get the money up. Molded wheel well flares,50 tires, and tons of rust had a 302 Boss. I remember because it was such a long time ago the damn thing was painted all flat black. I wish I can get a cheap Pinto kit that I can build cuz I don't want to build the kids that I have cuz they're worth money I think ?
My first car was a 1980 pinto.
This was in 1997 mind you.
It’s original color was maroon but the paint had cracked in a fine pattern and if it wasn’t freshly washed, looked brown.
2 quick stories.... #1 - I remember making a modified stock car out of one of these. I remember I merged a 74 richard petty model for the rollbars, tires etc. I ended up with a Richard Petty modified. #2 - I once worked with a guy who drove a Pinto that had the flame job coming from the rear.
You awesome person
You should’ve put old pizza box or fast food bag under the back hatch.
I have a unbuilt AMT Ford Pintera . No one has this model featured. Must be a rare kit. I also have an AMT kit Alpine Sunbeam Tiger which I know is a rare kit I have not seen it anywhere I'm just wondering whether it's worth anything ?
Love it! I owned a 75 Mercury Bobcat wagon (yellow/woodgrain). It was so bad that my gas tank was barely hanging with actual coat hangers. Bought it from my ex for a hundred bucks. My goal was to make a Poison Pinto clone. Unfortunately my wife at the time was completely against me building it so I ended up selling it for a couple hundred bucks.
Cool!
My first car was a mpg floor model, stick, trunk, and I could bark the tires all the way to third gear, paid ,$300 only problem if someone rear ended you the gas tank would explode... I hate that when it happens
AMT kits seemed in abundance here in the UK at one time, but they seem thin on the ground now, loved i all those american car kits 30-40 years ago,hardly see them much even US revell kits...
My sister and I flamed one of these as teenagers in the 70s. I was driving and the car died in front of the local Ford dealer's head mechanic's house. When I tried to start the car, it burst into flames under the hood. The Ford Mechanic had to call it in ;-) Fortunately the fire truck arrived and put it out before the car blew up. Our car was Silver.
I'm thinkin' a Budget Economy Car with a 302V8 wedged in there!
:)
don't hate on the pinto, I have 2, a 77, and a75 both look stock but both have been modded with 302 engines 9 inch rears, love the wagon however
Thanks for sharing :) Would like to see more of the wheathering, and actually making it wheathered.
Thanks for watching!
I'm from WI too! Vehicles certainly don't last long up here. :)
Really great weathering and story to go with it! Two days to build it eh? You're a pretty fast builder Chris, but when it comes down to it, you're really only building each kit about a year faster than I do. lol.
Hahaha, nice Topper!
Hey happy guy you should have made a diorama from this model. Add another car like it hit the back end of the Pinto and have fake Fire coming out the back end.
Then he dropped the model on the back and the model burst into flames.
My brother had a green Pinto Pony. It was a descent little car.
Nope, no mirrors and that crusty, right side of rear bumper has to be bent up a little to show were they backed into something, body and sheet metal can't be factory straight
Thoroughly Enjoyable Video. Nicely Done!
That's no model. You shrunk a real car :D Looks totally real :D
Thank you!
Unless you lived in Hawaii. I remember the '75 Vegas and Pintos being only a year old and already the bottoms of the doors, fender wells and windshield posts were rotted out and the car was still shiny. We called it the steel termites getting to it.
Humid salt air and cheap 70s steel, recipe for disaster.
gotta chuckle.. i wanted this kit but "the popper" with the coke machine was all i could find. it's the same model. this is a nice model kit
Its the same kit that they used for the coke custom pinto .did any one have a problem with a worped interior...but the rest of the car looks ok 👌
My mum had one like that one with the big glass hatch, it was white with tan interior. When she discovered the big problem with it, she got rid of it and got something else.
One of my friends had one and another had the station wagon version. i did see a couple burn up..including a station wagon that wasn't supposed to have a venerable tank. Lucky no one was hurt. Thanks for the build. It seems the U.S. just wasn't really ready for small cars then . The Corvair, Metro, Fiat , Datsun were a little too soon to be appreciated,
Thanks for watching!
I was a Junior in high school when this car was new and I was NOT a fan of them at ALL! To me it represented everything that was wrong with that era in the ‘70’s......slow, uninspired styling, dubious quality.
Now over 40 years later, it’s kinda neat to see these cars again if only at shows, or very occasionally on the road.
Very nice job you did on this Chris and while weathering is not my type of building, I can very much appreciate the effort and realism you did there!
BTW, that car looks exactly as I saw them here in PA back in the ‘80’s into the ‘90’s. Rusty, falling apart, and then not at all.
Thanks again for the terrific review! 👍
Thanks for watching!
Model kit costs.. The same as the missing gas tank plastic piece ... Don,t blow up over it...
I love this! Those old molded round two kits can be a lot of fun ! Awesome build!
They are!
i was also wondering what that strange chrome piece was with the rims? i'm still not convinced it's a hub cap..
Should have painted it with flames... Coming out of the gas tank.
...or just set it on fire. 🤣
The Byrnes family next door had one. It belonged to their daughter Ashley.
I want to make a collection of shitty cars ! I already have a Citation ! Need this kit ASAP
We had a '77 Pinto wagon, when I was a kid. It was a pristine olive green. My step brother had a Maverick that was that tan/khaki color.
Excellent custom job, as usual!
Thanks man!
Very cool build my friend..My grandparents had a 1976 Pinto stationwagon...They loved it....Where do you display all of your builds?
Thanks Todd!
Most get placed on display for about a month and then put in storage containers and sealed up these days. Just no room to show off everything.
Fixing to start a channel building custom model cars. How do I link your channel in my descriptions. I'm going to link your channel on how to build these models straight out of the box. You do amazing work! Thanks for keeping your channel going.

After seeing this video I got the kit and am doing it right now. I'm going with a new look, and it's in what Ford that year called "Light Blue" (paint code 3U) but what we all called "Sky Blue" (I'm using that 2X Rustoleum color "Spa Blue" to imitate it). It'll have a contrasting-blue interior (including dark blue and 2X Rustoleum "Brilliant Blue," which also serves well for Ford's engine blue coloring). I saw some photos online of that color Pinto in all its "glory" (hahahahaha!) displayed at some Maryland car show or cruise or whatever, so I'm stealing from that. Also, I SUCK at "crusti-fying" and aging and rusting out model cars. Oh, well...
Now, I do like that Ford 2.3 liter four-banger, because look what it eventually became: the powerplant of choice for the Mustang SVO from the mid-80s and the T-bird Turbo Coupe. Hmmmmm... I wonder if I can find a clean example at an industry auto auction, buy it and then do some massaging... ;-)
Enjoy!
Subded😎 excellent work.
Thanks Jose!
Awesome model it looks great I haven't used simple green how long do you leave your model kit in it
Thanks Ross. Long enough to scrub the parts, that's all.
Fantastic video as usual Chris...Loved it! But...what is a "used beer fart"? Funny stuff...again...love it! I think this one is a must have. I used to drive one of these bad boys. Thanks for sharing...
You used the beer and now you drop nasty car farts.
Thanks Mike!
Building this kit right now. I’m going to get a big motor with a blower and slicks for it.
New subscriber. I modeled for years, went on a hiatus for about 20 years and just getting back into it. Living in Michigan I know what you mean about the older cars. When I was in high school and a few years after all I drove were Pintos. Cheap, easy to work on, parts easy to find. You mention a green wagon. Had one, my beater pinto. Driving home from work late winter early spring down a muddy frozen wash board gravel road the passenger seat fell through the floor board! Threw the seat in the back, next day it went to the scrap yard. Model on brother and stay safe. Jeff
Thanks and Happy New Year to you!
This kit is such a fortunate re-release! When I was 7 or 8, my dad had a paper route to make some extra cash and in the summer he'd take me out in his green Pinto and we'd toss papers together. A couple months ago I thought it'd be great to build a model Pinto as a gift for him, complete with small bundles of newspapers in the back, but the kit was so hard to find closing in on $100! And then, suddenly, here it was again! Thanks Round2!
I wonder if the popularity of the show Stranger Things in part prompted the re-release of this kit - a Ford Pinto is featured heavily in the show, driven by Wynona Ryder.
Could be, they come out with some cool reissues.
HI Chris! I just subscribed...I love your vids.This one made me sit up... my name is Paul Gioni and some close friends call me Pauly.... I never knew I made Famous Six-Side Pizza!
Thanks Paul, you should order one and use those decals!
