What is the most unreliable vehicle you have experienced?

All British stuff with Lucas wiring, AKA the 'prince of darkness'.

Friends with those are why I went Miata.

A friend with a Mitsu and 5 transmissions is why I stayed Nissan, Toyota, Honda and Mazda.

The worst car I personally owned was a '67 El Camino that I picked up in '75 or so. It was pretty clapped out, and I 'paid the price' for not doing my pre purchase due diligence. I didn't own it very long.

 

Damn your old like me!

 

Mine was a 1964 Rambler. My teenaged self killed it in a week. I drove it like it hadn't been driven in a long long time.

 

Damn there's some cool dudes on here!

 

I'm not the Captain of the old team around here, but I'm likely in the starting lineup.

 

My first POS was a 1974 Ford Maverick. Thankfully someone totaled it

 

Vega and Pinto...followed closely by 2005 VW TDI Beetle.

 

I take it that it wasn't a Grabber? Yea, they were still Mavericks, but a little massage and they were decent street runners for the dawn of the emissions era.

 

You have 16K Post I can see you know the English language better than me! Nice post!

 

Does that have a 302 in it?

 

Can we drop a 454 in this? If so I'm in.

 

Wow that one is nice!! The one I had I bought for $500 it was my first car. Had a straight 6 manual choke. Left me stranded a few times.

 

Ya know.... It take a special brand of cool to drive a 3 on the tree rambler with an ass dragging lower than a dogs with a piece of grass sticking out it's butt.

 

1985 Mercury Cougar. Purchased brand new with about 5 miles on it. Returned to the dealership for erratic steering and handling. I was given a loaner (new demo). Car had a mind of its own. They kept in the shop for a month. Got a call one day to come in. When I got there I was asked if I wanted to keep the demo I'd been driving. The demo had 1500 miles on it when I got it. Long story short, I did some paperwork and was gone. Same terms nicer car. The original was returned to Mercury because a "factory defect". Mechanic later told me they could not get the car to align no matter what they did. Drove the new Cougar for a year and bought a 86 Olds 442. Never looked back.

 

Clearly you weren't taught how to use the proper tune up tools.

 

427 Ford is adequate. If a backyard project, a 460 from a Lincoln would be an easy score. Helped a friend stuff one of those in a Falcon a few years ago.

 

Thank you my keyboard now has laughter spit all over it. LMAO!

 

'89 bronco II biggest POS i ever owned

 

OK This deserves more than a like!

 

I spent hours fixing one of those for a girl in high school..... always was broken, and she never went out with me. Hate those things.
