4. I haven't seen one of those in YEARS

Worst possible legroom in the back seat--only Herve Villachez could be comfy back there.

That ass slapping monkey gif is a hoot, btw.

10. Nope - My '70 Barracuda Was Worse

Good thing my kids were very young when I had it.

And it had no trunk space either. I remember reading in "Motor Trend" that when Plymouth was redesigning the Barracuda for the '70 model year, management decided to add side impact beams. They already had a target vehicle weight; to add the beams and meet their weight target, they sliced a few inches off the back of the car.

Mine was a stripped-down model - slant 6, automatic, AM radio. It looked like the one in the picture, only without the stripes and with small hubcaps instead of custom wheels.

7. Hey! I had one of those. What a POS!

I bought it in 78 and it still sucked.

8. I had one! Identical (almost), Mine was better!

I had a 1972 Ford Grand Torino Super Sport, it had a 4 speed manual, a 351 Cleveland Cobra Jet (a real live Cobra Jet with dual bolt main and a 12 to 1 compression ratio, 330 horsepower out of the box) with a Holley double pumper and a 3/4 cam. I miss it. It was yellow with racing stripes. Whhoooo baby.
