This car has definite power.
The seats are a bit uncomfortable due to the fact that they lean back.
This car is not reliable as far as maintenance.

Sounds like straight water was used in the cooling system. Cracked block? It got cold, the water foze... cracked block.
Water pump problems? Water has no lubrication quality. Antifreeze/coolant does. Radiator problems? Water causes corrosion. Antifreeze/coolant prevents that when mixed with the water. Ford had recalls on head gaskets for the 3.8, did you check into this?
