This car is a police interceptor. The heavy duty components help tremendously with the handling, cooling and performance.
I do maintenance every two thousand miles. This helps keep the car in excellent shape.

Summary:

Faults:
The transmission was faulty.
Freon leaked out.
General Comments:
This is my second review for my 1990 Police Pack.
I had 3.73 gears from a mustang installed for better acceleration and a set of mag wheels to bring out the already abundant chrome on the body itself.
I still have not had any problems with this car, and I do occasionally run it hard.

Summary:
An absolute intense pleasure to drive
Faults:
The transmission gave out a few weeks after I got the car. I had it replaced.
The carburetor was leaking and had to be rebuilt as well. Other than a timing correction done at the dealer and the changing of spark plugs and oil every 1500 miles, it is a strong running car.
The interior of the car is in very decent condition although I wish I could say the same for the air condition system - it just has leaks somewhere or other and I have not bothered to get it fixed.
General Comments:
The car handles great in corners for such a land boat, and loves to fishtail when I want it to.
The 351 windsor in it loves to purr and when you blast it on the highway the rpms will not stop - honest!
I have chased 4.6 Mustangs on open road and humiliated the smaller V-6 Mustangs with only inexpensive modifications.

Summary:
Dependable as a claw hammer!
Faults:
I replaced the transmission at 70,000 miles (Not a Ford problem - I was beating the car!).
Also, a malfunction in the power window switch, again by my own hand.
General Comments:
Just fill it up and go. Regular maintenance is its best friend. Has a lot of good miles left in it I'm sure. Paint and mechanicals still holding up well.
For a big car, it still manages good m.p.g.
Power everything makes this car a "poor mans Lincoln Continental".
