13 WORST Cars From The 1970s, Nobody Wants Back!

The Pontiac aztek was a 2000s lemon not 1970s

The pinto did everything it was designed to do. It was quite reliable, also the mustang Ii was built on the same platform the pinto was. There are far too many mistakes in this video to list them all in one comment

Many of these cars had “poor performance” because they were never designed for performance, they were economical basic transportation, grocery getters

The good thing about these cars is that they were not that hard to repair compared to the complicated cars of today !!

The Monte Carlo is a very expensive car now so I guess you really don't know what you're talking about their guy

The Gremlin was nothing more than a shortened Hornet. I owned 4 of them. They were economy car and I didn't have any real problems with them. I drove them to work and the grocery store. That's what they were designed for. The only thing that they were bad for was getting loose on a wet road . That was because they were light in the back end .

My girlfriend married me because I told her I have a vette. Imagine her disappointment when I went to pick her up in my chevette. She left me😢😢😢

Did anyone else notice in the last clip, that the "James Bond" Matador that jumps the river, is actually a 1974 AMC Hornet X Hatchback? lol

Pintos were actually less involved in fires than volkswagon beetles . Look it up

Poorly done not much research or thought.

When I was in high school in the '70's my girlfriend had a denim edition Gremlin . The upholstery was denim . I really liked that little car and she didn't have any problems with it . I like allot of the cars listed here . Lol

My neighbor had a Pacer, he loved that ugly thing. I had a 79 Cordoba, it was a decent car, V8 318 and plenty of get up and go and carried my early family around just fine. It was easy to work on too.

Most of these cars were big sellers for their respective companies and those same manufacturers wish they could sell any vehicle in the numbers that they were selling in the 70s.

The Chrysler Cordoba was quite popular in the 1970s. It was the 1980s when it deflated and faded into oblivion. A lot of cars showed in this video are from the 1980s.

Monte Carlo does not belong on this list. It was pretty much on par with most late 70s large GM cars who's power and performance were choked out by emissions gear.

I had a 1980 Pinto which had over 400,000 miles on it; my first car and the best car I ever owned! Other than burning through clutches (my fault) it was a great car!

I had 3 chevettes. First one was quite used, but i put a ton of trouble free miles on it.The following 2 i bought new. Same experience, never took one back for warranty work, replaced a few batteries an at least 1 starter. These were all work cars, as a tri county service tech in metro Detroit. They all gained very high mileage in a few years but still reliable cars. I made a tidy extra income off those cars with the company reimbursement that put food on the table an clothes on my kids backs! Most of my co workerd always bought cars that they took a loss on due to the cost. I didn't look cool, didn't care an although far from a performance machine, it handled navigating all the various freeways in metro Detroit just fine.

Take a swig on each 'Flawed Engineering' down a malted beverage when hearing 'Lackluster.' If you wake up, it will be next week.

The '70-'77 Monte Carlo was a Bitchin car then and is a Bitchin car now!

I still miss Ricardo Montalbon (spelling?) trying to sell me rich Corinthian leather.
