65 Mustang with the 170 cid inline 6,
My '60 Falcon has the 144 I6. Prior to the Albatross it set my definition of 'underpowered', though with the 3-speed manual it's not really that bad. It'll definitely maintain speed in places where the Albatross could not. I've even pulled 30MPG in it a couple of times! (Cross-State college trips.) Usually more like 22, IIRC. Carries six people, too, but it's a whole lot less peppy if you do. My Frankenheap rarely gets highway time, but last week I drove up to one of the local ski hills (a school outing) which is a couple of hours away. The car did well, it was a real pleasure to drive, and not at all slow. -- Jim _______________________________________ http://www.okiebenz.com For new and used parts go to www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com
