The 220kw 5.0 cars can be had for well under $10k but the 250kw 5.6 cars wont be under $10k

Can you tell me where you read that? Id love to know.

ANOTHER epic HULK thread ay. I imagine in an ideal world that HULK is just a creation of another AFF member who creates these threads under an alias for anonymous comic value.

You complained that you got less than 10k for your LTD, but suggest this would get 7k

The LTD interior was like brand new and more luxurious.. I sold it for less than half the price of that!!! Ill bet anything my LTD was a better car (mechanically, condition wise, power)

im sure this would sell for less than they are asking, but with such a limited build number they have some ground. Your comparing your LTD to this as if you were comparing a run of the mill FAIRLANE to TL50, not that theres anything wrong what so ever with a FAIRLANE, but brand new they were probably more than 30k apart. 100,000kms shouldnt justify equal value 12 years later. Still limited build, still an exceptional build from factory - not run of the mill. Give it up. Your threads are boarderline delusional.

If your friend wanted a EFI V8 low km cruiser for family purposes for under 10k, shouldve sold him yours thus not leading to yet another rediculous thread.

I didn't just make it up. It was a review done when all the hype died down and after ba v8s come out.

Described it as a beast but had some inconsistent builds. "ford 347ci engines had oil consumption problems, the long stroke crank putting too much side loading on the bores and wearing them into oval shapes by 30-40000km.". Not my words but we know boss 5.4s had their issues too, let's just move past it.

Anyhow please it's about v8 powered cars under $10k. Id love to discuss the 5.6 windsor but lets save it for another day (it's a top motor) but not relevant to this thread. (unless you find one under $10k)
