    It has the even-firing 60° V-6 and Mustang chassis. Plenty one could do, with this one
    It was getting fun, until the fun just died down

    Jaunty I respect your opinion sorry if mine offended you. My last comment was sincere and not meant to grate anymore. "Right on" means just that, that I agreed that you gave an opinion as to why they went out of favour.
    I also was sincere about the comment you made about some options being gimmicks and have lost favour with the buying public. I do think your on to something with that. As I reflected on your thoughts and jwdtenn on turning lights disappearing "what else disappeared" came to mind. I'm constantly seeing things on eBay both factory and aftermarket. Some, as yourself, may have found certain things useless and others useful, the same with me.
    We won't always agree but I do enjoy your posts and insight and you have a keen eye for things that most people miss.
    Ok I'm done with buttering you up get back to some great postings.

    Citroens had functioning and useful cornering lighting. Mercedes Benz has revived the concept, a couple years ago:

    Ford 3.8 V6 was a 90 degree engine just like the Buick 3.8/3800. You are correct in that it is a Mustang chassis with a 5" longer wheelbase. Plenty of brake and suspension upgrades available for this thing.
