I've got good and bad memories of an early 70s Econoline van.

One of my buddies had one around the time we got out of high school. The interior was pretty well gutted except for shag carpet on the floor. A bunch of us would get together and go to concerts or to clubs in Charlotte. Since it only had front seats, we would bring lawn chairs to sit in the cargo bay. Seat belts? Naw, who needs those.

We were coming back from Charlotte one weekend and a guy pulled across Independence Blvd (a four lane road) right in front of us. The van barely caught his rear quarter, but it was enough to cause my friendto lose control and we barrel rolled down the highway. There were four or five of us in the back, so we got pretty beat up but we all survived. It really taught me the value of seat belts.

I'm embarrassed to say it, but another friend had a Pinto Cruising wagon (with the small round window in the back). Gas was expensive back then, Pintos and Vegas were a lot more common than what you would think.

I remember when my local FORD dealer had a dark blue pinto cruising wagon on the showroom floor,I thought it was kinda neat at the time. Almost bought one that was on CL a few years ago, I still think they're kinda neat.

My brother had a 79 Pinto cruising wagon. Black, red interior, V6/4 speed. That car was a blast!

I'd do some trading on an excellent running 400 455 pontiac engine, No 557 castings. Price drop to $1300. Where are the hippies when you need them?

The Hippies are long gone. It’s the dawning of the Millennials, and they only like Subaru’s, Honda’s, and Toyota’s lol.

Not all gone yet, I see the hippies at the nursing home on a regular basis.

Perfect for building a "Mystery Machine", if you're into clones.
