Sorry for the delay, a family emergency cropped up.

Fuel mileage for me was typically around 26-28 mpg, basically keeping it under 4k most of the time. The KLDE is a pretty decent sounding V6 though, and deserves to be taken to redline every once in a while.

Here's some more pics that do a little better job of showing it in its current condition:

I didn't get a chance to really clean it out and go through, and if there's anything else, feel free to ask.

Looks like it is in good shape. How are the tires? And is there anything significant that will need put into the car soon? When is the inspection through?


Thanks again for all the pics.

love the way those V6's sound. a friend had one in HS back in the day and it was pretty hot shit. ford did a lot right with that car, aside from the name.

Thanks again for all the pics.

Sorry again, my grandmother is suffering through the end stages of CHF, so between work, the hospital, and now dealing with the hospice folks, it's been busy.

The tires are still in decent shape, but they are old RE-01R's I believe, so you probably wouldn't want to attempt any winter weather driving on them. Then again, I got home during the ice storm we had up here last year, so YMMV.

I've got a list somewhere of the work needed to pass MD inspection, but I'm headed out again, I will put it up when I get home tonight.

The car would pass WV inspection, no problem. But it won't here in MD, and I don't know how strict they are in VA, (I've heard it varies depending where you are.)

Thanks for the interest!
