Message: If you really think about it both the Falcon and the Valiant were both cheaply made with poor to bad quality control and in the salt states rusted quickly. The Mustang and the Barracuda had all the same traits just in little better looking packages. I personally don't like any of the four cars I have mentioned in the year discussed here; Mustang 67 to 70 I like and Barracuda 70 + I like the looks of but much prefer a mid-size car to drive along with the looks. I am relating to driving all of these cars from new to junk yard back in the day as a young male that likes to play hard with his wheels; NOT as collectors items 40+ years later or a built up drag car.
