About
This is my first car which I still drive and own. I got this car from a field for 300 dollars my senior year in high school and have been working on it ever since. I painted it back in 2003 and have replaced everything mechanical at least once. I always tell people I can take the motor/tranny out in my sleep since to replace anything in the motor they both have to come out. I hope to own and drive this car my whole life.
Specs
3.8 L V6 with 120 Hp/ 205 lb/ft
C4 auto transmission
7.5 rear gear with 3.31 ratio
8 seconds 0 to 60 with slight hesitation from grumpy fuel injection
top speed is somewhere around 120 but speedo only reads to 85
Factory Options
Cruise Control, Power windows, power locks, air conditioning, and they all still work
Mods
recently pulled smog pump out to gain clearance in maintenance care. Painted the car Ford Sapphire Blue about 6 years ago in the garage.
