My first car was that color! Didn't shine so nice though! LOL! It was a Toyota Corona wagon... died a PAINFUL death with about 400000miles on it... when someone drove into the side of it with my sister and her infant...they were FINE..but my old car died... I had given it to my sister when I bought my first truck.... AHhhh... the good OLD days....

SOMEONE took GOOD care of that pinto! Sure is UGLY still....LOL... have fun, HappyDriving, Heather

Yeah I found a good one, 38k miles, one owner garage kept (except the back end) original paint, orginal interior. Nothing at all wrong with the car. and he gave me all of the spare parts he has been buying over the years. Including the air conditioner

Not a bad deal for 1,500. I was looking for a work car and happened on this little baby

At first i had to chuckle.....then thought about the economy and how much less you are going to spend on gas then i am with my 4x4 truck....and how much less you will be spending than i am on my truck payment....maybe i'm the dummy???

Looks to be in great shape yet..good luck with it.
