GOOD LOOKING....NOT SO CLEVER!

What a beautiful car to look at,inside and out! I outfitted mine with the 19' wheels and it looks amazing.Now,driving it on the other hand is a different story,or you could say sailing it,o.k. that's unfair,my other car is an Audi S4 (on tracks!) This car creeks, shudders,and wobbles.The build quality is very questionable,which is probably something to do with Ford,only the cost of the parts are not quite in line with Ford! The V8 is good but feels dated and sounds like a taxi.I always feel like selling this car,then when i get out and look back i realise why i don't.

Bought it for the looks and just plain concours elegance. I did have some repairs that I thought were not in standing with the cars great looks and 'new' reputation under Ford. However, take the top down and DRIVE IT !! It handles well enough for what it is...an elegant automobile with looks to kill. It is NOT a Hot Rod, (if you want that get a Mercedes 500 SL) Overall, a true Modern Classic that I intend to keep 'forever'...

Repair cost, when needed, is very expensive. The parts drive the cost of repair up, the labor is usually competitive.
