gbtr6 Posted September 11, 2022 Share Posted September 11, 2022 Looking for a Pinto kit to build my wife’s first car. It was a 74. Anyone have a 74 or 75? I’d take other years. What do you have, and what do you need for it. Perry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oldmopars Posted September 15, 2022 Share Posted September 15, 2022 If you can live with the 77, I have one. If it needs to be an earlier one, be prepared to spend big money to get one. I've been looking and it's a lot for such a poor kit. They changed the molds to make the 77, so the older ones are bringing big money because they are all old and no new ones will be made.

This is so true, I have been looking for an Amt 74 or 75 but just not affordable.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gbtr6 Posted September 15, 2022 Author Share Posted September 15, 2022 Thanks guys. I assume if I could find a 74-75 grille I could adapt that to the 77. I would think there weren't many changes between years. Perry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perry I believe Kris Morgan used to cast an early Pinto wagon, he might be able to do just the grille for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
