Awesome car. Most people don't like that it's long and wide but I love it. The 352ci V8 engine just purrs out the sweetest rumble and will haul ass when you need it to. The 352 with a 3spd Crus-O-Matic tranny will haul in excess of 125mph+. It rides like your on a cloud. Up and down the gravel roads to church it just floats. The power steering is amazing glides like a dream. And with a solid weight of almost 3900 lbs it turns nice and still has enough power to burn rubber. We have a reciever on it and even pull trailers with it. We pulled a 12' trailer with 2 motorcycles, 3 golf bags, and luggage on it from Casper WYO to 60 miles south of Oklahoma City. I love it. Performance plugs, carb adjustments, intake, muffler system took me from 10-12mpg to 18-20mpg. Also you have to remember to put a lead substitute in the tank when you fill it up with gas or you'll screw your engine over.

Pros — Everything. A/C, Radio, power steering, POWER AND SPEED
Cons — The little gray ash trays that go in the door handle won't stay in for anything when you shut the door! that's the only problem.

well we bought it on ebay for $500 out of oklahoma. it didnt run but it would start and it didnt have brakes that worked. well we have everything running now (engine 289 automatic, brakes, lights) and we even put lowering springs on the back! at the moment though it doesnt have shocks so if you barely push on the back end it bounces all over. hopefully it will be street legal soon

Pros — old but quiet
Cons — its old

Right now it has a not so good paint job, i'm gonna go get a new one soon.  I'm rebuilding the engine, it has a 352 V8.  Only has 57,000 original miles!  Even with its original engine and parts, it still burns rubber!  The only thing wrong with the car is that it only gets 15 mpg. =(  But. its still awesome and way funn to drive!

Pros — Fast, Huge!
Cons — Bad gas mileage

428 police interceptor develops over 400 brake hp.  Handling sluggish and acceleration a little slow but the top end is amazing

Pros — Power and comfort
Cons — gas mileage and handling

Nice 7 seater family car with great fuel economy running on a 1.9 turbo diesel engine with great performance

Pros — very flexible on seating arrangement and space management, fuel economy and performance
Cons — in hot summer days takes long to cool down because of big windows
