There are a lot of absolute crap cars listed in this thread.

So I'll add to it.

Incredibly used 1963 Ford Fairlane 500 with a 390ci engine. Cost was $250.

1989 Mazda 323. I miss that guy. I had to get my sister to drive it home as it had a manual and I only had driven an auto.

hahaha, me too.
It was my dad's truck, a 4 speed with the 4 banger engine. I used to fill it with my buddies and wreak havoc through the streets of Surrey.

Once I blew up the 3.8l V6, it got a hoped up 350 with a 4 spd Auto Trannie. Total scream machine.

Sold it after the dog chased a skunk into the car. Never could get the smell out so I scraped the car and sold the motor and trannie

My buddy had one of these (the monza)that came from the factory with the v8 4spd ,they came geared to go about 200mph ,had a very small clutch (and buddy was a shitty driver ) so we were constantly repalcing clutches or sometimes just the plate if caught in time

also you had to jack the engine up to change one of the sparkplugs

1972 Dodge Dart Sport … 225 slant six "the engine that obsolescence forgot". Bought in 1982 for $1800. Had it for 4 years, then it got totalled when some drunk chick ran a red light and t-boned the passenger side. Pushed my car sideways across two lanes and up onto the opposite curb.

I will also add to this list of crap. I am pretty sure I am the only one here that started out with a German made 1976 Ford Capri. Mine was exactly like this, only with a lot more rust. It did great donuts.

Yours is a fine addition….but doesn't quite meet the fail level of a Datsun B210.
