Thanks. Found these in the back of an arcade in Mississippi, unplugged and unloved. Told the manager I would like to take them off his hands, and a month later it all worked out. 1000 miles round trip to go back to get them, but I think it was worth it.
Quoted from spfxted:Will a 2011 Subaru Forester fit a machine?
I have a 1999 Subaru Forrester and I moved Bride of Pinbot and Batman (DE) before (each on their own trip). Legs off, head down...no problems.

Could a Toyota Corolla (non-hatchback) 4-door fit a pinball machine with the backboard down? I don't think it would.
Adding that a 2012 Nissan Rogue definately will not fit a Williams with a back box on. No problem taking the back box off... Not my car; was a rental.

Ummmm, not a chance on that one....doors wouldn't even open wide enough.

Pontiac Aztek. Yep, it's ugly but when you have the sliding package tray, the machine will slide in and out on it.
Quoted from arizonabuck:What's the tallest height dimension of a typical pin legs off and backbox down?
Don't know of any database with that info.
Every manufacturer appears to be slightly different, and different pins within a manufactures line varied too.

Clearly the "Pin Wiki" is not kept up to date.
Did you see the section on pricing.....LOL.
According to the Wiki all of these pins are $3000-$4000:
Attack from Mars
Circus Voltaire
Safecracker
Lord of the Rings
Spider-Man
Theatre of Magic
The Simpsons' Pinball Party
Indiana Jones: The Pinball Adventure (Williams version, not Stern)

The old man can get a wedgehead in his Toyota Prius. You should see the look you get when you pull up at someones house to get a game in a Prius.

Anyone fit a pinball in a VW Tiguan? Didn't see anything on the wiki. Dimensions look OK but was curious if anyone has tried.
I got a 2013 Ford Escape, which hauls a single pin nicely. It's also a good ride with tight steering. Don't confuse it with earlier Escapes, which were completely different vehicles. Also, I am 6'6" and have plenty of legroom.
I got my Lights, Camera, Action into my 2009 Yaris 2 door Hatchback. Had to take the head off and fold it against the back of the cab... but it went. Almost got the hatch closed too.
You can easily fit any standard or widebody pin into a new (2011+) Dodge Durango. A Gottlieb Premier was the tightest fit due to the height but it did fit.
If you removed the backboxes you could fit two standard pins and still shut the back.

I'm looking at a 2013/2014 Ford Explorer.. I assume I would have no problem but wouldn't mind getting some info from any owners out there
To fit most games, one needs ABOUT, 24 inches horizontal clearance, 30 1/2 inches vertical clearance and 60 inches depth at the opening; the opening is usually smaller than the interior.

My Ford Escape 2005 has fit all of my pins with the legs off and head folded, including gottlieb sys 3's and wpc95's. Only had 1 in at a time. Lots of room left, even had the 1 rear seat folded up so 3 people could fit in the suv. You could fit the pin and dolly.
My question is, will a pin fit in a Mazdaspeed 3 and a Subie STi wagon.

Since there have been a lot of questions recently, I thought I'd resurrect this thread...please add any info you have here.
Thanks.

Two pins will fit into a Honda Odyssey with the second row of seats taken out.
One pin will fit with one section of second row of seats either taken out or moved forward.
For the record. A D&D will fit in a Subaru Outback due to the uniquely shaped cabinet with the backbox folded down, A standard size 80's-90's Williams will not fully fit, but in a pinch can be loaded coin door first and strapped down if you drive carefully.
Tiguan is an inch or two too short for a pin - it's wide and deep enough. If you removed the plastic lining you might have a shot...kinda wish I had waited for the Mazda CX-5, apparently that fits pins fine.
Toddsolus, just looking at your post again - are you saying you got your non-wide bodies in your Tiguan?
Quoted from MiamiRedSkin:What about a 2014 Explorer?
Well, it's a fifth generation...so all of them should be the same...right?
Robert
Quoted from DarkWizard:Subaru Outback anyone?
I have a Subaru Outback and a pin will not fit in it. I shoehorned a redemption game in it with half of it hanging out the back.
I have been able to fit a CFTBL and a Tommy in a Ford Edge on separate trips.
Quoted from westofrome:Tiguan is an inch or two too short for a pin - it's wide and deep enough. If you removed the plastic lining you might have a shot...kinda wish I had waited for the Mazda CX-5, apparently that fits pins fine.
Oh yes the CX5 fits fine, I've moved several in mine. Anything but a system 3 from what Ive been told.
