Looked like a Pinto had sex with a Ford Maverick and that was the resulting offspring.

Eternally Under the Authority of Satan
That's hideous.
That was your tranny tape popping lose when you farted...
Yes we do.
It was the begining of dark times. Wide polyester ties. Horrid looking hair. Butterfly collars. Platform shoes. In a few years disco would rear it's ugly head. They wanted to make everything look like an acid trip. Lime green shag carpet and bright orange wall paper on the walls.
No! You can't have the keys to the wine cellar!
A good example of why the Japanese were stealing the auto market from Detroit.Actually the other version of the Mustang II was even uglier....

What Jap car from that era looks better?
You seem to know a lot about gender bending.
Not too mention all that orange and brown furniture.
Datsun 280Z
I hate to tell you, but the Japs didn't steal the market with any of the Z cars.
Blue toilets. Nothing could just be white. Everything had to be colored. You had to have carpet in the kitchen. Shag carpet in the bathroom (total disaster) and a blue toilet. Hell let's put carpet on the walls too. They were into carpet big time in the 70's. Oh and big heavy gaudy drapes. They were still doing that awful wood paneling too.
Oh and you had to have a big custom "Love Machine" van. Cover the whole back in carpet. put in a custom windows in the back side panels. Put some brass lights in. A refrigerator and a mattress.
Be sure to look like Ron Jeremy, wear a polyester shirt unbuttoned to show off your gold chain or puka shells. Bell bottomed Angel Flight pants and some cuban heals. Now you are ready to go to the disco club to score.

The Datsun 240/260/280 z series comes to mind......
Of course you had to actually BE Japanese to fit in one and drive it comfortably, but that's beside the point.
And the avocado green appliances. We have a lot of those here in Hell, just to furnish the "Eternal 1970's" torment suite.
I like the Z cars. Of course, I'd have put a big block in them.The Datsun 240/260/280 z series comes to mind......

Yeah but those ugly appliances were built like tanks. Nothing broke on them. They would run for years. People just got rid of them because they were ugly.
428 Hemi with a hood scoop. Hell. Supercharge the thing and put two four barrels on.
Was that a Jap engine?
Yes. Fuji Industrial made them in the 1960's.Was that a Jap engine?
I have a feeling this makes thou a tad moist in the nether regions...Who would win in a street fight?
A 1970 Super Sexy Ford Calypso Red 428 "Cobra Jet" Mustang
Or...a 1975 Chevrolet Vega?
No reason other than those Boss Mustangs were god damn sexy!
Not the Vega. Actually, it was an awful car, but could have been great if GM wasn't cheap and lazy...

The 'Stangs were hot cars, except when they stuffed a V-8 in a Pinto LMFAO!! I knew a guy that had one of those and was proud
That's not totally true. If you took away the fact that the rear gastank exploded like a Hellfire missile fired from a drone during a rear end collision, the Pinto was actually a decently, cheap and reliable car. The Vega was just a fucking nightmare on every level...
Or dissolved, seeing that GM is basically a merger of about ten car companies over the past 75+ years.
That's a myth, dumbass...
So shut off the ignition in a panic, possibly to the off position, so the steering wheel locks when turned too far? Don't start teaching driver's ed...
Writing In All Proper Case Takes Extra Time, Is Confusing To Read, And Is Completely Pointless.
Like this guy, I presume...
Why settle for something you have, if it's not as good as something you're out to get?
It's like putting up a YouTube of Bach and playing Chopstix on your Bontempi...
Really, fruitypants? You have anything to back that up?
Not too mention the airbags that won't deploy...So shut off the ignition in a panic, possibly to the off position, so the steering wheel locks when turned too far? Don't start teaching driver's ed...
Incidentally, on the Pinto: there's a Buffalo Bills fan that drives one to all the games he can on the Eastern Seaboard who has an absurd amount of miles on the thing and averages well over 30 mile per gallon in it. He only drives it on the football weekends. Yeah, they were actually good cars. Another few dollars to properly seal the tanks, they were as good as any of the Honda or Toyota econoboxes...
Okay Elvis, after reviewing Wiki, you got me and you are correct. I've always been a dumbass
Just google it...
I've been reading that story on and off for years...
FORD was found not to be guilty of anything with the Pinto, BTW...
Something like 27 or 29 people died in rear end Pinto crashes by the late 70's...
But that's literally out of millions of cars...
Here's a Link to an interesting read...
The Myth of the Ford Pinto Case
Gary T. Schwartz (1991)
The case of the Ford Pinto, and its alleged tendency to explode in rear-end collisions, provided the occasion for what is universally hailed as our product liability system's finest triumph. Everyone knows that Ford engineers realized the car was defective but decided (in a smoking-gun memo unearthed by trial lawyers) that it would be cheaper to pay off death claims than to change the design. There’s just one problem: what "everyone knows" turns out to be false.
You found that out through Wiki ??I've always been a dumbass
Yeah, they linked everything you did...You found that out through Wiki ??
The Pinto was almost a great economy car...
It was no worse than any of the 2nd generation subcompacts at the time...
In fact, the Pinto was statistically safer than most of the competition at the time, especially Datsun...
It was 60 minutes, Ralph Nader and the media that created the myth and the hype...
Bad. Ass.
