From AutocadeThe printable version is no longer supported and may have rendering errors. Please update your browser bookmarks and please use the default browser print function instead. Ford Pinto. 1971–80 (prod. over 3,000,000). 2- and 3-door sedan, 3-door wagon. F/R, 98 in³ (I4 OHV), 122, 140 in³ (I4 OHC), 171 in³ (V6 OHV). Infamous subcompact, meant to be a rival to Volkswagen Käfer (1960–80). Government recall affected 1971–6 models, where there was a risk of fuel filler necks and fuel tanks failing if the car was struck from behind, due to poor design. Built to a price, and not that great to begin with: poor ride, cramped for passengers and luggage, heavy steering, but acceptable handling. Twinned with Mercury Bobcat.
Marque: Ford | Successor: Ford Escort (1981–90)
