Pinto Conversions?

[oldcarfan]

I understand the MPC 1979 Pinto wagon will be reissued sometime this year. I plan on building a plain wagon and maybe a full on custom panel van as well. Does anyone know if a conversion kit is planned to either backdate it to the early small bumper version or even it there might be a hatchback conversion? Also decals to do some of these would be nice too! I for sure have one in mind kind of like the ratty one in the picture below, using the Fireball models 13 inch Minilites and wheels as a definite project.

Morgan Automotive Detail offers a 71 to 71 Pinto wagon kit.

Thanks Peter. Being that the 79 was not an easy to find kit,, we did ours as a full kit. We will gladly sell just the needed body and parts as a transkit as well. Work on a 79 coupe is underway. It will be a trunk car not a hatchback though.

Indeed! I should have mentioned that in my original posting. You will not be disappointed with a purchase from Kris at MAD.

MPC did trunk cars for 74, 75 and 76. They did hatch cars for 77 and maybe 78. MPC also did the wagon for 78 and then 79. No one has ever done a 79 hatch or trunk car.
