Hey Brad......how many repairs has your 88 been
through in its 180k plus miles???????????
Seriously though that old girl can keep up with
Mustang police cars.......:0  ;)
My '87 Ranger can still keep her own with over 175k on
it. v6 4x4 over 20 mpg average. 

Uh does that Mark 3 have that high compression 460
that won't run on regular. My uncle had a LTD with
that engine. Like the saying says....it can pass
everything but a gas station. 
It's funny though... one of my Fords was well built
while the other was built Friday afternoon.
