[Amc-list] Worst car!!! Re: Stohler's Barn Find '62 (American)

[Wrambler242@xxxxxxxxxxx]

My personal close family worst cars.
1. 1982 Lecar!!! My wife bought it new, kept it 18 months. In the six months it was out of warranty it cost her $1800. !!!
2. 1983 Concord :[ My moms car, Factory rep demo, bought with 7K on it. Went thru an engine and three transmissions by the time it had 43K on it!!! Worst AMS product we ever had. This car suffered a cracked block, one of only two I've ever seen.

I don't actually rank my S-10 as a worst, It never broke down, I rank GM's treatment of myself over this as worst. They knew this engine had this problem since it's redesign in 1992 and kept marketing and selling it with no fix. Then when the fix became available, I was told "your out of warranty".
