Cool bit for Phillips screws

When we bought our '74 Mustang II, it was a bit south of $3000. The alternative Pinto was only a couple of hundred less.

This branch of the thread had moved on to me saying the later Fox bodied cars were much better. Try to keep up :-)

Way way up thread I said the Mustang II was popular, because the competition was just as bad, so I agree with your premise that Japanese cars of the 70's had problems.

Makes one wonder for a couple hundred less how any one would buy a Pinto over a Mustang. But you are very close on pricing.. I I found this.

Retail Prices:

I can see why they were not wonderful cars. That was almost too good to be true pricing.

Probably right. ;~)

One thing I never quite understood was that most new brands introduced here never bring their "A" game. Lexus and Acura probably being the only exceptions and only because Toyota and Honda were already here and had a good reputation by the mid 80's.

Yugo, Diahatsu, Fiat, again, Mini Cooper did not and or do not have a good reputation for being reliable at all.
