There's several for me. I like the 1st gen Mustang Fastbacks and the interior isn't bad either but man, got tired of the breakage and especially stuff that shouldn't break from abuse from a low torque 289. GM products was they way they rode and hated the way I felt once inside and driving a new 67 Camaro. Plus it had massive wheel hop after dumping the clutch. If I took off easy and then laid into it, it was fine but had a lot of rear end squat which isn't a bad thing I guess? Neither one of my Fastbacks had a bunch of rear squat and had no wheel hop and so far never had a Mopar with wheel hop.
67 Chevy Biscayne (I think it was a Biscayne) 4 dr sedan military cop car. Wasn't nothing cop about that sponge cake but it did run ok with the 283 and 3 on the stick. Yup, didn't like driving it above 80....felt like driving a super soft sofa and doing 80 in Germany only puts you in the way.
Pickups? Don't even think about trying to shift the 3 speed column just a little bit faster than normal because it would jamb. That was my dad's 65 Chevy. Other than that, it was ok....basic no frills at all but did have a heater at least.
86 Mitsu Tredia....ran good but difficult to get to the oil filter. Other than that and a sorry resale value, it was ok.
76 Dodge Colt....too little and no power even with the 4 speed. Dang Vega was bigger. Got a good story about that episode lol
Late 70's big block Mopars.....down on power and leaking valve covers.
All the Dodge pickups with the fuse block in the glove box. Most with those trucks know what I'm talking about. None of mine melted but saw plenty that did. Also the alternator gauge not bused right on most Mopars and especially the trucks.
Can probably think of more but that's enough for now.....
