Oh jeez.....

As one who owned several British sports cars (Triumph TR3A, TR6, TR8) as well as some VERY used 70's US cars, it is difficult to choose. It is also difficult because they all had some redeeming values.

The '73 Ford Gran Torino Sport probably is the POS winner. Well geared for the highway (2.73 rear) but lousy on gas around town, EGR and other pollution controls strangling the carb, rusty, shot rear suspension, and the ponies it once had went over the hill long before I owned it. Oh, and the electrical problems were... interesting (Ford assembled it with wires passing through sheet metal holes and no grommets, with predictable results).

The '67 Camaro that blew oil smoke like a PT boat laying down a smoke screen would be runner up. People would joke that we didn't need to spray for mosquotos when the Camaro was around. People look at late 60s muscle cars through rose-colored glasses, but many of them had issues, e.g. the '67 had a rear suspension designed to encourage wheel hop.
