I wasn't too keen on the color of mine either but the test drive is what sold me. I could get 4 gears of rubber with it! 1st through 3rd were very audible, 4th was just a light chirp. When the rustwork started bleeding rust a couple of years later, I did some quickie body work on it and painted the whole car flat black. Mine had a black interior.

I put slightly wider junkyard Mercury Capri wheels with new wide white lettered General Grabbers on mine. Much sportier looking than factory Pinto wheels. Amazing handling for what it was! I had a pair of tall aggressive snowtires for winter. That little car could tractor through the snow great with 100lbs over the rear axle.

My 1971 Ford Pinto 2-Door Sedan weighed about 2000lbs, had a 100HP 2L - 4 cyl engine, topped out at about 105MPH. Later years added weight each year. By 1980 they weighed around 2500lbs with a 2.3L - 4 cyl 88HP engine and 4-speed.
