"This is a great car for not so many bucks. 112,000 miles, 6 cylinder, good interior and exterior, new battery. Good mechanical condition other than it needs a new heater core. Owned by my parents as a second car - lightly and infrequently used - maintained well so should have lots of miles left in it. "

 

See....here's a car that I would likely buy in a heartbeat if it was anywhere CLOSE to me. The deals always have to be way far away.

 

Looks nice, just needs a real motor, that'll be a V6.

 

The one in it is a FAKE??

 

I agree Andy. The only good FORD 3.8's are the 99 and up IMO.

 

For $650...if it's in good shape...an engine swap would not be a problem.

 

Yeah Mike, but for a 302. If I was to do a motor swap, it would be all or nothing. Go BIG or go home.

 

You should know me by now.....

 

Reminds me too much of a old friend......



I drove my 86 V6 from 2001-99. I'll admit the V6 is a niosy motor but I never had one single problem nor ever had to replace anything.

Mustang buckets, t-bird console, oil changes, tires and brake pads were the only thing I ever did to it.

 

maybe i need
but from 2001 to 99? what you do, drive in reverse?

it looks like a nice car. to bad i already have 3 wagons.

 

Yeah - it's that Canadian thing..........

 

, you guys

lets try this again........I drove it from 2001-2009

 

Would beg to differ with that

 

Hey the only reason I said anything about it is that I'm partial (as some of you may already know) to the inline six...

 

Which Ford 3.8's do you like, Kev? They made some bad ones. In the used car biz we would avoid them in favor of the 3.0.
