Does anyone still have their original window sticker? If you account for inflation, my car was worth 24,000 brand new! Here's mine:

Those are cool :ies:

With mielage that close(I realise they are different cars) why would anybody bother with the 3.8 over the 5.0?

I dont have the window sticker but I have every other manual, card, brochure, and trade in paper for the F150 my dad bought new in '84. Back when you could get a new 4X4 truck for $16 485 cdn, he paid $11 395 with trade in. 'Back in the day'

Also gotta remember that that bird above is CFI and my Mercury is SEFI, then again, the Mercury is MUCH heavier, too.

Thats exaclty what my college term paper was all about. At the time is saw no sense in it. Either you have a 4 cyl or dont piss around and get a v8. Now mind you, my 6cyl coug sat out in the parking lot at ECPI in va beach.

Yup, but I am too lazy to scan it in. :)

My XR7 with leather and a moonroof was right around 19,000...IIRC. :)

prob. depends at what speed you are traveling. maybe like 55 the 3.8 would do a little better, but at like 75 the 5.0 may gain a little as it doesn't have to work as hard to pull the car as the 3.8 would. I don't think I have my stickers. My car was purchased new by my grandfather so they might be around somewhere....
