That just an old wife's tale. The tank was outside the body, behind the rear end, and was vulnerable in a rear end crash, but the fuel couldn't get inside unless the car was totally crushed, then it was a moot point. I had one for 6 years and never feared it. Wasn't the best design feature, but what car is perfect?
Aren't there any craigslist cars east of the Mississippi River
I like (#5) the '63 Plymouth Belvedere sedan, (#6) the '65 Plymouth Valiant coupe, and (#11) the '60 Ford Edsel Ranger.
The pinto would explode on impact, when rear ended. Covering the passengers with fuel. Just a little problem.
