Default Another sign of the apocalypse today>>>
After years of not seeing a single survivor, this week I've seen 2 Merkurs. A ratty sedan and a fairly clean and straight (but still butt ugly) XR4Ti coupe.

What was Ford thinking?

Default Actually, I had a 86 Thunderbird Turbo that had the same motor.
Very torquey. The only reason I got rid of it was it kept eating alternators.
