Gimme a sec and I'll look them up.

EDIT:

Let's see... Ford Fairmonts had 200-6's, the Ford Durago which was a downsized Ranchero that was produced for a short while had the 200-6, Granada's had 200's and 250-6's, some of the later model LTD's had the 200-6, of course the Mustangs could be had with a 200-6, and you could get Thunderbirds with 200's also.

In a passenger car meant for transportation, I like inlines and v-6's rather than 4-cylinders. The 6's balance better and have better power than the 4-cylinders and usually run as long as the 4 cylinders.

I want to say that guy's car was a Granda but I'm not sure. It looked like an old Crown Vic. I loved it.

I agree with you about the 6 bangers. I hate 4 cylinders. They're great for fuel mileage longevity but they have no power.

I don't care for some V6 engines either, though. Kayla's 3.4L (177 horse) in her Pontiac runs good but only after it hits 3,000 RPM!!!!!
