F’em indeed ... my one and only Ford (and one and only big-3 auto) was a 1970 Mach I with 357 cleveland mill and 3 on the floor i owned as a kid ... a blast to drive, but:
1. never started when it was wet outside because moisture condensed under the distributor cap
2. brakes where completely for shite
3. steering was so difficult that it felt like you were trying to steer a battleship all the time
4. clutch linkage slowly bent continuously and had to constantly be adjusted until the adjuster rod was at maximum length and then the whole linkage had to be replaced
5. hydraulic valve lifters squeaked and two couldn’t be accessed without pulling the engine
6. spark plugs were nearly impossible to replace
when i finally sold it, the day before the buyer picked it up, the transmission gave out and it would only go in reverse so i had to knock $400 off the price and watch the buyer haul it off on a flatbed truck ...
never another American car i vowed and i’ve kept that vow for over half a century now ...
