Yet another 'bid goes on" at Mecum Kissimmee. Bidding reached $13,000. Power steering. AM/FM Stereo. Only 16,000 miles. But no A/C. https://www.mecum.com/lots/FL0119-356540/1979-ford-pinto-wagon/
When I first moved to NM I bought a ‘79 Baby blue squire with the blue/white checked interior. The interior wasn’t too bad, but the wood grain had that gater crackle going on, but it was a fun car to drive, I think it had the 4 banger. It was a good little parts hauler.
I wonder how many of these have crazy reserves that the owner bids up and then doesn’t take it. Builds the price for next auction. Chandelier bids are allowed. And auctions are used to establish pricing.
