Those were the glory days of Dearborn, never to be seen again. Thanks.
On some great and glorious day the plain folks of the land will reach their heart's desire at last, and the White House will be adorned by a downright moron. ~ H. L. Mencken
I had a Merc with the 390. That engine idled really smooth, as they say you could put a full martini on top of the air cleaner and it wouldn't spill a drop. But man did it torque hard if you put your foot in it. I broke a motor mount on my big beautiful Merc slamming the pedal to the metal. That was a lot of work. Loved that car.
That was a close as I came to owning a hot Ford. I did get to drive a Mustang convertible with the 289. It belonged to a girlfriend's Dad and he was cool about letting us take it out. Garage kept. I never put a scratch on it, but I did scratch a few times.
