"I still cannot help but think that, had we been given even a mid-HO 200hp motor, that we'd have joined everyone's elite list of most desirable cars from the 1980s.
Everyone loves the look of our cars, everyone remembers them fondly, but nobody remembers them for their power or being fast right out of the factory.
Another 50hp or so would have changed that perception."

 
Agreed.  But urban legend has it that Ford wouldn't allow these cars to perform as good (or maybe even better) than the all-mighty mustang. The Mark VIIs probably only snuck out of the factory with the HO because it was too heavy with all its Lincoln "stuff" to out-perform a mustang.  Wouldn't it have been cool to have had a choice of several V8's 60's/70's style?
