Did you own any of these?
I did.......................
Yes, it is #6....................
That Eagle was so far ahead of its time. Fantastic car.
Unfortunately most everything from the 70's ignored corrosion technology so they all rust apart.
And what was so ugly about a Pinto? Its looks were the best thing going for it. The drivetrain, the reliability, the safety issues, and a dozen other problems made the Pinto a bad car.
But it was not that bad looking.
Not legitimate without the 1960 Dodge!!!
That is a coffin on wheels.
No Yugo???
My Gremlin was blue. And it was NOT butt ugly. Because it had no butt.
It essentially was an AMC Hornet with no rear end. I liked it.
The days of non servo braking made us better drivers, as you never knew which way your car was going to lurch when you applied firm brakes. You had to be on the ready.
I had two Ford Pintos. They were great little cars and you could work on them yourself.
Never did but knew some who owned a few of them (Pacer/Gremlin/Pinto/Thing/Aztec) - most of them figured out that they shouldn’t have bought them but a few considered them “badges of merit” (I think they all vote for the other side these days....
VW Thing? That should be in a different list of coolest cars ever made. I want one!

+1. Me too.
I agree that the VW Thing was a cool car. Plus it was a rag top.
Apparently not. I think a variation of it is still in production..................
62 dodge dart....................
Check out the Netflix show Stranger Things. Set in 1980 (? Early 80’s anyway) and you’ll see all kinds of cars from that date and back 10 years.
Guess they figure the Edsel is too old for a list like this.
I knew someone who bought one of these.
Drove it once across Golden Gate Bridge and then sold it.
Scared the heck out of her with cross winds.
