the car was a POS.
The '65 and later models had a good rear suspension--better than the Corvette's--but the car itself was awful.
But so was the VW Bug. The Bug had better build quality but that's it. Bugs rusted like mad, the heaters stuck full on after the first exposure to road salt, you drove all winter with an ice scraper in one hand because there was no fan to push warm air over the windshield. They had no power, bad brakes, and the engines weren't durable (though they were easy to remove).
