Yep, prime example of a none technical lawyer, Ralph Nader, making a name for himself by taking a defective study conducted by Ford and uing it to further his "cause". The car was later declared safe by the DOT but that never made the papers. Turns out the Ford test engineers were purposely causing the test car to flip by running under inflated tires and jerking the wheel while at the limit in turns.

In reality, the first series from '60 to '64 weren't the most stable cars but better than many. I love the second series, '65 to the end in '69 which with Corvett style rear suspension handled better than Porsches of that age. Mine is a '66 with the 140 HP engine. In '72 & '73 I managed to claim several autocross trophies against BMW 2002s, Datsun 510s etc. in local events with a mildly worked over car. The one I have now is a California car my son found and gave to me.
