Pinto, Vega, gremlin all classic failed designs. Seems like massive oil crisis hit while us making gigantic boats. So they had to get some type of small car out to sell fast.
One of the abominations I remember was the mustang II which always just looked like a slightly stretched pinto to me. I had 66 mustangs, loved the style but did not own 69, and had a 72 Mach 1. 72 Mach 1 design was ridiculously large up front but still pretty cool looking. The mustang II completely killed the mustang mystique for a long time Imo. And they had a cobra version of it which to me looked ridiculous and spoiled the name after the earlier Shelby mustangs (I liked most all of them).
