The slowest car you have owned?

Re: The slowest car you have owned?

I don't physically have it yet, but the C50 will definitely be it.

My wife's mush maligned 2004 Chrysler Pacifica is currently it.

Suzuki Samurai with an axle-over conversion and 30" swampers, for lowest top speed, 55mph on flat ground. Worst for acceleration was a Dodge Dakota I swapped a 4.3 GM diesel into with a 200R4 tranny.

hmmmmm

probably a tie between the '84 2.5 amc 'huricane' powered cherokee sport,
and the 231 odd fire v6 powered 80 cutlass sedan Grandma gave to my brother and I.

Toss up between my '79 Ranchero and a '66 Mustang I built. The Ranchero was 140 raging horses stock. The Mustang was a 2.80 geared C4 car with a stock 289 and way too big a cam. With a G tech meter, the car ran a 17.10. Live and learn I guess. I sure did.

Re: The slowest car you have owned?

I had a 75 Honda Civic 1300, what a slow ass pig.

I could fill the tank and drive for 2 weeks, though. ;D

'92 Volvo 240 wagon. Little 4 banger couldn't get out of its own way. Felt like driving a tank though.

Re: The slowest car you have owned?

I'd say it would be my current cruiser, the 67 Beetle with 1500cc of screaming power. Sure it weights a bit less than one ton, but it's only 53 hp. When I get the dual carbs and a header on it, it will be up over 60, woohoo!! :P

Re: The slowest car you have owned?

Off hand, I'd say my '58 Rambler with 3 on the tree. But those fins were sooo kwel.

Re: The slowest car you have owned?

It would be either the '68 4 door Impala with the 307/powerglide I had in high school or the '64 Ford Fairlane with the 260/auto. I've had a few 6 cyls but they would outrun thoswe two anytime. ;D

Re: The slowest car you have owned?

My 71 Pinto stock it went 19 in the quarter. Later I installed an Edelbrock Pony Ram,2 single carb manifold and a header.
It was my TSD rally car then. In Canada one night I ran it alt 95mph all night from Toronto to Montreal and back. Most of the time the windshield wippere were fluttering off the windshield. At normal higthway speeds it got 27-30 MPG. I still have the motor and wish with the price of fuel the car.

Re: The slowest car you have owned?

Not sure which was slower, '84 plymouth Horizon which I bought for $125 in '96 or the light blue 80-something Escort that burned oil so bad on the highway it looked like the paint was blowing off. :D
Awful cars that were amazing in the snow!
