I'm not arguing in favor of the car, cause it seems Fairmonts have many advantages in size and availablity without a huge weight penalty (my 351-C4, 8" rear 71 Pinto weighed 2400#'s), however this is a good opportunity to share a true story:
Back when my kids were knee high, we were computer shopping and couldn't make sense out of nearly identical spec'd units. I asked a salesman about this, and his dumb explanation was "the expensive computer is like a Cadillac and the cheap one is like a Pinto".
My kids, thought Cadillacs were for old men, and having heard good stories about my old Pinto reacted very affirmatively to the "Pinto" computer. The salesguy was totally baffled, I love having kids like that.
