The Courier was not a Ford mistake. If you want to talk Ford mistakes..."Festiva".

All,
I was just pulling your chain. <I could care less if you drive a piece of trash. I'm just embarrassed that it has the same badge as the mighty vehicles I own and love>
Good luck to you,
You'll need it!

I HAD A 1976 COURIER, bought it new for $4700 It was one of the best trucks I ever owned I put 130000 miles only did tune ups and adjust the brakes (no self adjusters).
Replaced the batery several time in the 130k, Oter than that it was great.

A bit under powered for the mountains of colorado. But great in the snow and ice with some snow tires (remember those). Alot of memories in that truck

Mine had a 5 speed, it was orange with a white lightning bolt down the side. Factory paint.

Hey, if anybody has a line on XLT parts for the Couriers, I'm all ears. Send me a PM if you have information and I'll be eternally grateful...I'm specifically looking for a gauge cluster from an XLT which had the tachometer, standard.
