It had a dark green interior with a silk paisley pattern woven into the seats. It was SWEET!!! If I recall, it got approximately 8mpg. It was a two-door, but could fit comfortably 3 in the front seat, and 4 in the back, sans seatbelts of course. Spent many of weekend night cruising Clearwater Beach with my buds in that ride.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23869235.post-1156536568883877152006-08-25T16:09:00.000-04:002006-08-25T16:09:00.000-04:00on the old commune, The Farm, many of the pregnant...on the old commune, The Farm, many of the pregnant women who came to have their baby with us drove in on a Pinto, which we called Shinto - and always they had a bad timing chain which actually was just a thick rubber band!
