That is amazing that you still have it. I can't think of a single car I had from 16-20 years old that I would have kept or even want back.
It's been far too long since I've driven it. That car is my time machine. So long as I drive it only infrequently, it takes me right back!
If I had taken my Dad up on his offer to replace the Falcon with a newer Pinto back then, it would no longer have a home with me. I'm glad I didn't. Then and now. The Falcon, Ford's econobox of its day, is our largest car. It carries six in comfort. (The Dodge truck also seats six, but not quite as comfortably due to the back seat.) I have gotten 30mpg freeway trips in it. Infrequently, but possible. Single-barrel Holley carb, small displacement I6, stickshift. -- Jim _______________________________________ http://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 All posts are the result of individual contributors and as such, those individuals are responsible for the content of the post.
