My 1st car, 1997 4.6L V8 with Sports pkg.

I am Very proud of this car - has served me flawlessly with minimal maintenance, and I still enjoy the 4.6Ls low end torque and economy - 150k miles today, only 3 mechanical repairs to date (cat. converter replaced, IAC valve and harmonic balancer replaced) -
Has started at 1st crank EVERY time since i got it with 72k miles- NEVER left me stranded.
car gets MC 5/30 with FL 820S filter.
...and still runs like a champ.
All original, and no mods of any kind, and all electrical items still function like new...

As it happened:

Congrats on the milestone. I had a friend that had one and my opinon is it will do smoking donuts but I am not a fan of the plain styling. I love the 5.0 engine though and would not be able to resist mods with all of the parts for mustangs and such.
