@jakesaintsrow123 yeah...its in storage. havent driven it in years. i start it up every once in a while, just to hear how smooth it sounds. i still have friends asking me about it. its just stock. not an xr7. even though its not high horsepower, the torque from that 5.0 feels GOOOOOOOD. :)
Owned one. 2 tone Silver/charcoal,spokes and a red pinstripe where the colors joined. Grey leather. 5.0 TPI. Not the fastest car but that car drove and rode like a dream. Very quiet, no feeling of bumps and smooth.Car had close to 180,000 miles on it when I got rid of it yet if you were a foot away while it was running you couldn't hear the engine. The oil was changed every 2500-3000 miles. With 1000's of miles on it the oil on the stick looked like melted butter. The hood ornament was Cool.
This was a cool ad. Low key, yet edgy for the time. The car basically advertised itself. No annoying boisterous voice-overs.

My dad bought one of these new with the 5.0, and it was a really good car. He kept it almost 10 years.

Nice car, too bad the rear window was tiny compared to both the Thunderbird and Mark VII.
