Full disclosure: We love Ford Pintos. We love them more than is probably healthy. Blame it on some childhood trauma, or just the residual effects of growing up in the 1970s, but we have a soft spot for all of Ford’s long-running Pinto lineup. Especially wagons with paneling on them.
And Village Green, all-original wagons with the full woodwork treatment are right at the top of our Pinto Wish List.
This amazing specimen has just 84,000 original miles. It’s one of the most beautifully hideous creatures we’ve ever seen, and it’s got the 2.8L six-cylinder with an automatic, which is a bonus.
It will be up for bids at the Raleigh Classic Auction June 2-3 and will be a charity lot with all proceeds going to the Ruin Creek Animal Protection Society of Henderson, N.C. — a no-kill animal shelter.
We hope this baby brings a big bag of money. We’re green with envy over whoever gets it.
