I had a Pinto wagon once. It was a '73 squire I bought used ~10 years old for $250. That was one of the best buys ever. That car was rock-solid and ran great for 17 years before I donated it to charity. The only major repairs I had to do in that time was replace the timing belt (2,000cc OHC engine) and replace the clutch. Otherwise it was a killer DD, ran great in the snow with the radial tires I put on it.
