Oh, and then there was the AMC Pacer wagon.....!
One of the absolute BEST cars I've ever had was a 1971 2 door NOVA with the small 6 and 2 speed powerslop. It was when Wife and I were just married and the car I was driving then - a Mazda RX2 with the rotary engine blew up. I paid 300 bucks for the NOVA and it lasted forever!
Had an ‘88 Mustang hatchback. Drove it 1500 miles, but the tranny went out in Colorado. Shame, I loved that car. Lost my bet with my dad who said I wouldn’t get 2k miles out of it.
