    I hope the photos were taken before it was driven - so dirty you can't see out of the windows. Mold all over the interior. Why spend the money to list on eBay and not even bother to clean the car? Could be a decent find, but the appearance turns me off.

    So opportunistic seller buys it from deceased original owner's son, and puts it on E-Bay as-is, without even WASHING it? I could understand that selling technique if it were a Ferrari, or a vintage Packard or something, but this is a FORD PINTO, dude.................... Some people..................

    So true Krash. Vintage barn find Packard has patina, 73 Pinto has dirt. Just wash it off so we can see what it looks like.

    I just don’t get sellers that don’t put their best face forward. Ok maybe one pic of the dirt if you want to emphasize the storage angle, but get the thing out and wash it and detail the interior. Mold and dirt don’t excite me to juice up a bid on this car

    I'm willing to bet that the eBay seller didn't even have the energy to take these photos, and just reused the photos the original owner's son took. Whey you're lazy, you're reeeeal lazy.:sleep:

    He is simply trying to capitalize on the “barn find “aspect of the car. This is OK, but you include one or two pictures of it with the dirt on it then you go clean it scrub it make it look as good as it can to show you that the time spent in the barn helped preserve the car. I’m with you guys, this is no way to market a car.

    The dirt is hiding all the rust. This thing in pretty rusty from the looks of it.
