Here are the Top 10 Weirdest cars from Ford! 

I TOTALLY AGREE!

​@@johnmaki3046concept cars from years ago were way more futuristic because of the space age. Instead of the Jetsons we got boring 😴 .

You should hate seth macfarlane ok?

😠😠😠

It really was just case of poor timing. Though, a more appropriate interior probably would have helped.

​@@codeman99-devdefinitely right there. I got mine really cheap because the tranny was going so had to put money into that and a few other things but for $50,000 new adjusted for inflation that interior should have been way more Lincoln Continental then Ford plastic City or to make up for that plastic instead of the Jaguar engine and stupid electric system they should have had a 4.6 l V8 Cobra engine in it

You have to love that toilet seat grill on the Edsel. I owned several Tauruses on the last 3 decades and I own a 2018 now. That 3rd gen was a joke. The 4th gen is really the same car but they dumped the round front and rear ends. You can tell the doors are the same in the 3rd and 4th gens

True. In a way when it came out, it was supposed to compete with the Corvette wanting GM to go retro as well.

Ford half-assed the retro Bird. Outside, I think they nailed it. Interior? Hey...let's take the identical interior of the modern Lincoln LS and stuff it into the retro Bird. Instantly killed any originality the car might have had and went completely against what the car was supposed to represent.

The exterior styling was beautiful imo. It's power train, interior, and price were the downsides. Those are significant downsides.

I thought the T-Bird was cool , but like the Prowler it was just too slow, they could have at least offered a performance version. But yeah I wouldn’t mind having one today, I love it when I see one on the road.

There was a slime lime Barracuda with a floral top at the dealer in Petaluma. Handsome!

Henry Ford would have been proud.

The bubble Taurus was far weirder. But it was still cool in hindsight, particularly the SHO.

They were a pretty good car. But the transmissions. Autos had a high percentage of failing first. It was a long time ago but a mechanic I talked to. Said something about planetary gears

@@johnsheetz6639 I worked in a facility that was essentially founded by rebuilding AXODs.

@@americansmark Would've been better with an optional 5/6 Speed Manual gearbox.

Probed in the rear

I knew a guy who owned a purple Probe. He was t-boned in an intersection by another car that drove thru a red light(.

Nicely done.

😂😂😂

😅😂🤣

... and sticker was marked up $25K over actual value...

@@zeus014no it wasn’t! You should have bought one ! In good condition, it’s worth almost what you paid for it!

@@melvinhunt6976 assuming you actually GET the asking price that you claim it's worth (doubtful), you still haven't factored in the inflation boogie-man. Even if you could find a sucker willing to fork over $60K you'd need to get $100K in today's dollars to break even.

Well as far as resale value goes, prices are on the rise for a good one w/removable hardtop. The other problem was the 2 seat configuration and lack of more serious horsepower. I believe that a retro style body over a properly sized Mustang chassis and running gear, with all the hot motors, would sell much better than the previous 2 seat, just as happened with the four seaters in the 50s and 60s

As a Ford guy, I was interested in the two seater T-Bird until I found out it won't come with a high powered V-8. So, I went and bought a Corvette.

I miss mine.

German masterpiece

@@mikebunetta7420 Designed in Belgium and made in England.

1888? That thing must be vintage.

​@@RettMikhalgravy train wagon

Then the “doctor” landed and let you out of the ufo

I have a probe gt and absolutely love it. You can still get a decent one for cheap

@@asideofbeans5803 same 93 GT, good car

"The shape of the Probe was exciting to me" LMAO that's what she said.

Everyone has an opinion !

@@spankynater4242 Pinto means dic* in portuguese so it makes sense

i thought the same thing...putting outdated info in a new video isn't the way to build a YT channel

Any clean Pinto brings good money today.

Ford's mistake was the ill fated Mustang11

@@robertadams6606 so why do you find it ill fated? It carried on for a few years, and hot rodders love its front suspension design. Arguably, GM could have countered with their Monza being a downsized Z28--probably would have offered less resistance to their 180 hp 350 engine :) I would say the Mustang II returned to its original intent--an attempt to be something for everyone. it could be optioned as a secretary's car (as Carrol Shelby called it), or a luxury version with the Ghia, or a sporty car (sure, the performance of the Cobra was lacklaster, but what wasn't during that era? and the original 289 Mustang went right up against the 389 GTO in 1964)

I would have bought a Blackwood if it was a 4x4.

The terror of the Fuego.

I remember the fox body Capri having the bubble. The LN7 did too?

Fox Body Capri had those starting in 1983. LN7 got it LATER.

​@@bricefleckenstein9666the LN7s were all bubblebacks (82-83)

I had a silver 1982 LN7. I was 18 and other than it's lack of a/c, I loved that car!

I'd love to see that, imagine if someone had swapped a Terminator Cobras 🐍 V8 into one?? Crazy, insane or brilliant idea???

That's what I was going to write.

@@richsackett3423 great minds think alike, huh Rich 😉😏😉😏😜😜

I keep forgetting about the last Mercury Cougar. Haven’t seen one in years

I can totally see a Ford salesman mistakenly thinking an EXP would satisfy a SAAB owner. "That one's odd, this one's odd, it's a perfect match!"

Truly one of the coolest Saabs.

I own an xr4ti

@@richsackett3423 It drove amazingly, but it was an electrical nightmare.

fact 27 people died in pinto Fires, also Fact 2700 Died in Chevy Squair body fires but every one of these bim boos talk about the pinto but none ever mention the Squair body Chevy Pickup.

The moon roof/ sun roof is a waste. If you live in the torrid South, it’s seldom used. In the frigid north, either, but for different reasons. I had the last year Pinto, & I never heard of a V6 option on any of them ?

Most pickups have sliding rear windows now.

1997 was the last year you could get a rear wheel drive eight cylinder, I have one with the predator package and really enjoy it.

Love the pinto cruising stripes and the porthole.

The Pinto wagon wasn’t subject to the gas tank issue or recall.

I love and get the Pinto jokes, but the Pinto really gets a bad rap for the "design". The reality is, many, many models from several manufacturers had this same defect and were just as prone to explosion from being rear ended. The Pinto is simply the poster child for all of the garbage Detroit was putting out then.

GMC and Chevrolet pickup trucks had a real gas tank location issue. Look it up people.

South africa had the xr6 and the xr8 sierra, the latter had a 5litre v8 under the hood

We in the US got screwed!! The Merkurs got the sheit name and plastic crap headlamps compared to the awesome euro spec glass lights and we never got the coveted Cossies!!! 😭 I had 2 XR4Ti's and enjoyed every minute with them!! Miss them dearly.

I always thought the grill was the best feature.

Agreed. And I would check the box for disco stripes and 4 speed manual.😀

Had a 74 , it was a great little car.

Sorry, I forgot to mention the mandatory pinstripes that came on only half the truck.

But for the time, it was definitely a weird car...

The Lincoln Mark LT pickup was a much better luxury pickup than the Blackwood.

It had weird proportions and a weird mission statement - which is to say none, the customers were supposed to figure that out once they bought the pickup that really wasn't a pickup.

If they had the right concept, it wouldn't have been discontinued within 15 months...

Also a toilet seat & horse collar

Edselstar, I had one

Dustbuster.

That would have killed the V-8 waaaaay too early. ++++++××××××+ SIMULTANEOUS names of the Mustang & Mustang Mach-E MAKES A LOT OF SENSE. In a year or two, the gas Mustang will change DRASTICALLY.

The Taurus never made it to Europe. The Mondeo was a completely separate car that was sold here as the contour when it came out. I think you’re getting them confused…

Yeah that was a big mistake from Ford! Or was it?!
