This was a model I commissioned someone to build for me so I could give it to my best friend for his birthday 1-2 years ago. My best friend used to own/drive a few Pintos in the 80’s/90’s. Actually, I don’t think or remember if this is the correct style of Pinto my best friend had, but it was the only model of a Pinto I could find in the hobby store at the time and I bought it. This is the Pinto I remember the most from all the rides I took in it because of the bright orange color. The car sure stuck out like a sore thumb so to speak, eh?
Anyway, my friend loved the model that was built for him.

My best friend last two years of high school (who in the end was not a best friend, but I digress), drove a Pinto. 1977 to 1979. I’m sure his was used, so no doubt an earlier model. Perhaps a ‘71. He’d pick me up at my house in the morning before classes. I think it was light blue, if I remember right.
Aside from that……I would love to see Revell include Joyce’s Pinto as part of their recent Stranger Things vehicle releases. That would be cool.
Cheers,

What a great gift for your friend. The Pinto turned out very nice. My oldest brother had a green Pinto while he was in the Navy.
Might need to find a copy of that kit as my mom had one as her first car.
I had a 1978 pinto. Yellow… That car went everywhere.
