Why does the videos mismatch the verbiage?
-
If I remember correctly all these cars we're rushed to market the thought was the dealerships can sort out the flaws what a joke the consumers deserved better than that
-
Ironically the Gremlin was originally designed on an airplane barf bag.
-
If you're going to make these videos get your facts straight. None of these cars were performance cars. They were as good or better than what was sold at the time. They might not have been hemi Challengers but they saw a lot of people many miles
-
I had a '70 Maverick and it was a good and fun car to drive. The front suspensions were crap but overall it was a neat little car.
-
I loved the Buick Apollo/Skylark and the Chevrolet Nova.

You forgot to mention the Pacer's oversized passenger door which was touted by AMC as "super useful for long / wide loads and passengers. The passenger door was 4" longer than the driver's side door and I believe it was a bit taller as well, but I could be wrong about the height difference.

Only good thing about malaise era American cars. They were very easy to hot rod, “upgrade” engine and other drivetrain stuff. Chuck out wheezy 267 v8 that had 115hp to 350 or bigger V8 with 300+ hp engine. Was very cheap install and took a day or 2 to do. Gas mileage didn’t suffer that much.

It's a funny thing that if nobody wants any of these cars back WHY IS EVERY ONE OF THEM HIGHLY SOUGHT AFTER COLLECTOR cars?????
-
プリマスヴォラーレはデボネアインペリアルとして輸入されるはずでしたね‼️😅
-
The Vega was such a pile that It got listed twice.
-
シボレーシェベットは当時ヤナセが三百五十万のタグ着けたら「高過ぎる」の大合唱受けて撃沈したね❗😓
-
The chevette, americas very own yugo.
-
Here's my list of the top shit boxes; # 1 Chevy Vega,#2 Ford Pinto,#3 Ford Maverick,#4 Plymouth Volare & the ugliest was the Ford Fairmont.
-
Sure none of these set the world on fire but they were just meant to be basic economic transportation. Yes Pinto is a well-known black eye for Ford and the Vega with its aluminum block with no liners ended up being a disaster. We had a used Monza for a while and yeah that thing was a pile o crap.
-
Vega, by far the worst.
-
Need to get facts and pictures straight.
-
Dodge aspen the nova of chrysler.
-
1000 times the same crap theme. You don't want them, leave them. I'll take them. I'm not bothered...
