Did you forget about the Valiants? I had two, cheap to own and run. The
best car I ever owned was a 1976 Volare, 10 years and 100,000 miles with
only routine maitenance. My brother-in-law had a V8 67 Mustang, yuch!. My
dads 69 Fairlane was 10 times the car. What about the rotting fenders on
the mid-70s Chev trucks, Ford trucks whose frames bend with a load in the
early 80s. How about the K-car and Dodge Caravan, the saviours of Chrysler.
In my books, only Dodge has built a real truck since 1972, and I mean one
with power, durability and load carrying capacity. Maybe you've seen too
many 'like a rock' commercials.
Smile Ron :), this is the Dodge Dakota list, everybody is entitled to their
opinion, brand loyalty, or whatever. If these Dakota guys leave your ford
mustangs eating fumes, so much the better!
