    I used to own a 75 like that but, alas, no woodgrain on mine.

    Money you enjoy wasting is NOT wasted money... unless your wife finds out.

    Had one just like it, white with fake wood, and mags, except a 4 speed trans, loved that car. It was pretty peppy with a manual tranny. If your referring to the gas tank explosions, the wagon wasn't effected by it via the location of the gas tank. When I bought it a survey group came to my house to ask me questions about the Mustang and the Pinto. They wanted to sue Ford for the Mustangs rear end explosions. In the end I told them I didn't want to participate in it.

    That brings back a suppressed memory I had in a Pinto wagon. A buddy of mine and I hit a flooded road one night at about 40mph. Engine goes out. We’re stuck in two feet of water. What to do? Put it in first, let out the clutch and crank the starter! That starter pulled us through about 50 yards of flooded road.
