    My dad had a 76 maverick. Had krager mags, a 302 4speed with 289 racing heads. 4 barrel holley and wicked set of hooker headers. Man that thing was scary as hell

      Yeah this ass hat made out like Ford quit making it bc of sales or the car itself. The car was based on same platform as first gen mustang. Back then nobody was making performance cars. The old muscle cars were simply sticker kits and strip packages with a anemic wheezing v8 with less than 200hp under the hood. You built your cars and you started with a good platform. Ford dropped the maverick bc it was hurting mustang sales. Especially when they offered the maverick grabber and the comet gt with v8s. Just like Chevy won't ever purposely allow a camero to out run a vett Ford couldn't have a car they made hurt their flagship car. I say purposely bc both the Buick regal GN and the v6 turbo trans am would smoke a vett of that era. But Pontiac and Buick slipped those in on Chevy.

      I wondered about this too. Seems like this video is strictly meant to crap on lower trim models. Those models aren’t great, but they were low cost options and the same marketing takes place today, where automakers offer multiple trim levels according to one’s budget. Really odd video. I think this is AI generated.

    The Charger shown is a 71 or 72. He presents it as a 73. The Charger still had good engine options. Plus affordable suspension upgrades. Almost none of them had a six and this clueless guy actually refers to a coil spring suspension. It was torsion bar front suspendiin and leaf springs in back. You could still get a 400 4bbl and a 440 4bbl. Even a 340 4bbl and finally a 360 4bbl. Does this guy even research his subject matter?

    This guy really has no idea what he is talking about. The Monte Carlo was very desirable. No one opted for a 6 cylinder. Nearly all of them had a 350 and that included the base model. The suspension was great and for less than 50 dollars you could have a heavy front and rear sway bar, heavy springs and shocks. By 73 all cars were choked.

    Talk about getting it wrong! The '72 Dart slant six engine was 225 cubic inches. The rust wasn't a big problem in the floors and fenders, it was in the front leaf spring mounts and thin sway bar mounts. The 340 was an option. Not watching anymore of this misinformation.

    As for the Vega, I've owned 4 of them. Two 1973 models, both Kammbacks, and a 1977 Hatchback as well as a 1977 Kammback bought from a junkyard. All were extremely reliable and required little more than routine maintenance, of which is something I am still extremely practicing.

    42:45 I do also expect that if you’re gonna call out the 74 scamp you need to call out the 74 Plymouth duster the 74 Plymouth valiant 74 Dodge dart the 74 dart swinger the 74 duster the 74 Barracuda the satellite, the Comet, the Thunderbird, the Camaro, the Corvette, the Trans Am, the GTO the Lemans, the Monte Carlo, the Buick regal the list goes on and on and on my friend there wasn’t shit fast in 74 there were fast cars for it being 1974 in the middle of a gas crunch, but none of them were fast. They were economical and freaking reliable.😂😂 which is absolutely why they were some of the greatest cars made because they still had the motors that you could create a lot of horsepower out of it. Just had to get rid of the US government conversions.
    The funniest thing I find about this video so far as I’m listening to it while I work on my daily driven 48 Plymouth is that nothing was fast and desirable back then now just Mopar GM Ford Ferrari Lamborghini Jaguar MG list could go on and on and on hell, the only real fast cars back in 74 was a freaking Pantera or a GT 40 cause we all know Ford was fucking up Ferrari in the 70s baby😂😂😂😂

    You do realize that even a fully loaded Corvette in 1974 didn’t have but 150 hp so unless you had a lot of money and you were willing to buy like the big boy hypo, they got 8 gallons to a mile you were living in the slow times I mean hell One of the newest trends is the late 70s early 80s Corvettes with a freaking L82 BS ass motor and 272 Rear End Highway gears and no horsepower that was the absolute rage in the mid to late 70s hell even into the early 70s but you took I don’t need to get into a damn novel with you bro.

    • @chucklenhardt7902
      @chucklenhardt7902 27 дней назад

      Worst of them all?
      I'm not sure how old you are but I'm pretty sure you weren't even around when any of these cars were made.
      I fail to see any of them on your list besides one being the worst cars ever made.
      The pinto was a pretty good little car if you got the 2.3 4 cylinder what's the original to my knowledge or made from the early '80s to the mid to late '90s they might have had them earlier in Europe I don't know for sure but they were cheap little A 2 B car and yes they cried about the gas tank, being too close to the back bumper but name me one American vehicle that the gas tank wasn't mounted at the rear within inches of the bumper.
      The AMC gremlin and Pacer were also good cars you couldn't kill that 258 6 banger And if you got the 304 V8 you had a pretty quick little car for its time.
      This video showed a Mercury Monarch which is pretty much the exact same car as the Ford Granada I had a Mercury Monarch for probably 15-20 years never had a moment's problem with it.
      Don't know why the Volare made your list The 318 and 360 V8s we're really good engines I'm not aware of any other major issues with these vehicles.
      Next you have the Ford Thunderbird..... Seriously? That's an American classic! Please tell me why you think the Ford Thunderbird was one of the worst cars made because I'm at a total loss. I've owned 4 T-birds and all 4 were some of the best cars I've ever had.
      Finally the last one in your list is correct, the Yugo which you spelled Ugo .... Yeah that was a total mess.
      So just for the record I'm 60 years old I've been an auto technician for going on 41 years now, it just seems to me that your statement is way off and probably because you weren't even old enough to own or drive these cars when they were produced let alone voice your opinion on them.... just like this video whoever made it is just way off base.
      I have to work on these new cars and I will tell you right now I would take one of the cars on your list any day over one of these new piece of crap vehicles that they're making these days even if them old schools had issues you wouldn't have to refinance your house just to fix it them, and they were just a few thousand bucks new unlike today the average cost of a new vehicle is what I'm guessing somewhere around 50k?
      All new American cars are mechanically and electrically horrible! The only decent vehicles to buy are Mazda, Toyota, and Honda I'll even throw in Mitsubishi because I never get any of those in the shop to repair!
      As far as the american big three? I wouldn't buy one if you gave me money to buy it with.

  • @donw3912
    @donw3912 Месяц назад +4

    The only one of these cars i would call even close to 'ultra crappy' is that version of the Matador. the really crappy cars of the 70's were in the latter half of the decade mostly. The Dart/Valiant were great cars...meant to be good basic cars...and if i'm not mistaken never had any recalls versus their replacements. Rode good and handled well...not bad for a long trip. BTW all Mopar cars had torsion bar front suspension since the early sixties.
    The Maverick is a rebodied Pinto straight up...down to the tail lights. More decent basic wheels to get from A to B. The Lincoln was never meant to be anything sporty or fuel efficient as far as i know. Big cars and cushy ride is what I see them as. The oil embargo and federal cleaner air stuff required starting with the '73 model year is what made many of these cars get a good bit less appealing and problematic given the required changes for carburetors among other parts. Vegas biggest problem was the engine design as to aluminum meeting steel and head gasket issues as i recall.
    But crappy...the only one i would call that of these cars is the Matador. If you want crappy...Volare'/Aspen come to mind for one...and still miles better then anything made today. Cars never survive consistent winter use and abuse as to the rust issues regardless of what it is.
    To me, what I would consider a crappy car of the 70's would be early Chevettes but that was mainly because it was a totally new car...problems are to be expected. They ended up as good basic wheels too in the end.

I did a little bit of work to it dual exhaust two barrel intake electronic fuel injection be up the clutch beef up the brakes swapped out to a eight and three-quarter inch a body rear end with 377 gears there was not a Corvette a Camaro or a Mustang in the mid 90s that could hang with my dart until that damn light turned green then they just gapped the crap outta me and ate my ass 😂😂😂😂

    Base model cars are not performance cars that’s why they’re called base models standard models. If you want to performance it came in a higher package with a higher performance, suspension and engine and 73. You could still get a Dodge charger 440 that ran pretty well or a 400.

    11:12 OK I’m working on my 48 Plymouth, which is my daily driver and I’m sitting here listening to you talking trash about the 72 dart swinger with a slant six I get it. It’s not the fastest car in the world, but Mopar never designed this land, six to be the fastest motor or the highest output, the most reliable yes the leaning tower of power yes you can feasibly get 450 hp out of a 225 slant six and it doesn’t matter what your block you start off with as long as you got heads after 72 so they have harden valley seats and as long as you have a crank that is forged not cast, you can produce some serious power out of them. The only downfall that I have with a 72 dart is the fact that it has the two piece front fenders. It has a fender and then a like a little fender extension because in 69 they had one piece fenders and 70 they went to two piece fenders and in 74 they went back to one piece fenders but they’re all the same fender. The only thing you have to pay attention to is it in 67. They had no turn signal indicators in 68. They had round turn signal indicators and in 69 and on they were square like the one you’re showing
    Now having gone on that big long ass fricking rant, I do have to say that I’m a new subscriber as in in the past 10 minutes before I started my rant😂😂😂😂😂😂

They were still dealing with today. We’re not out of oil. We’re not out of gas and they’re not called fossil fuels cause they don’t come from fossilsbut yet 52 years ago 53 the US government started this whole gas crunch bullshit that 71 Pontiac Ventura is sexy as fuck and just as fast as a 71 nova or faster because it was a Pontiac and Pontiac was an upgraded version of Chevy.
