Probably had more GPs than anything else, mostly with manual transmissions, last one was a 93 GTP with DOHC 24 valve V6, 5 speed Getrag and AC (sold mainly because had a timing belt and was black).. Great sound.

Think there is a 77 400 (base, not 220 hp) buried in the back garage. Was something about motor mounts were changed but forget exactly what.
The 5200 lbs GROSS weight stat I quoted came right off the disclaimer tag in the driver’s side door jam. I remember being somewhat baffled as to WHY my GP had nearly the same GROSS weight as my dad’s ‘72 Catalina four door hardtop.
