Beautiful car! I wonder if you can't retro fit a modern Vulcan v6 and ax4n transmission into it when and if the trans goes. Jus a thought .

@MrRagajungle Thanks for the comment! Yeah you can probably retrofit it! I like to keep it original but if I would like something else in there it would be an SHO engine haha.

its sad how few of the early 1st gen tauruses and sables are around mostly attributable to the weak AXOD automatic transaxle, aside from the weak trans these cars were works of art ford put so much thought into them

[Kpeters]

@grandspazmachine I agree the transmission is the weakest link! My blew once and now eventhoug it jerks a bit drives well I just use it with a lot of care. Using D instead of OD when on city non highway cruising helps them to live longer also trying no to do a lot of uphill heavy traffic driving.

Cool! Dont see many '86-'89 Taurses/Sables around anymore.

@TexasMan77 Yeah and im having hell of hard time finding the right constant relay module for it and some other electrical gremlins.

My grandparents bought the 1st 1986 Mercury Sable that the Mercury dealer in our area ever sold. Theirs was the LS model station wagon with the digital dash, etc. They drove the car for 15 years...too bad the body rotted away. It also went through transmissions like crazy. Yours is in great shape!

@gergely007 Sure once I have time and proper camera. Car needs some work to be done atm.
