"These are the best cars ever built"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Ever since I had the car little things have always been going wrong with the car. I've had to replace starters, carburators, and numerous wiring. all and all I love the car and would not trade it for the world. these were the best cars ever built.

General comments?

This car is incredibly slow.

It is very cold in the winter.

It is very hot in the summer.

Reading your brief review, which is nothing, but a summary of problems, I don't see a single thing that points to this being the best car ever built. Ever since you've owned it, you've been constantly replacing starters, carburetors, wiring harnesses; the heater doesn't work, and it is pathetically slow. Yeah, it really sounds great.

I believe that this is a great car and that as a car or a machine, something goes wrong when the handler does something wrong.

Cars often times produce faulty parts due to continuous or wrongful usage.

It is a matter of how one person takes care of it and if one person knows how, one wouldn't have much issue!

Best car of all time? No. Simplest design of all time? Yes. Which makes them very durable.

It drive (and love) my beloved 1970 bug sedan with the busted sun roof. For anyone else with a similar busted roof heres a cheap way to fix: Get an old style "woody" rack. Install it on yor ride. Then find the perfect sized toy 4" rubber ball (the kind you can inflate with a needle.) Bingo! Push and wedge the ball UNDER the rack, but on top of your busted metal roof. The pressure of the ball pushing down on the roof is sufficient to keep your roof on even at 65 MPH in a rain storm (sort of) Enjoy your toy. Flat 4 forever. V-Dub in da house Ja.
