Interesting list. More interesting is there's nothing from Chrysler Corp.
1987 20th Anniversary Cougar, 302 "5.0" GT-40 heads (F3ZE '93 Cobra) and TMoss Ported H.O. intake, H.O. camshaft
2.5" Duals, no cats, Flowmaster 40s, Richmond 3.73s w/ Trac-Lok, maxed out Baumann shift kit, 3000 RPM Dirty Dog non-lock TC
Aside from the Mustang crinkle headers, still looks like it's only 150 HP...
1988 Black XR7 Trick Flow top end, Tremec 3550
1988 Black XR7 Procharger P600B intercooled, Edelbrock Performer non-RPM heads, GT40 intake AOD, 13 PSI @5000 RPM. 93 octane

The Ford Escape, meanwhile, saw the steepest domestic-parts content drop of all, from 90 percent for the 2007 model to just 65 percent for the restyled '08. Ford spokesman Wes Sherwood couldn't give a reason for the drop,


There are plenty of Chrysler products above 65%....
I own one.  The Nitro RT I have lists @ 68%.  THe base Nitro lists right around 75%.  The difference is the German built tranny.

Meh. Unless the VIN starts in 2 they're all imports to me :canada: :hick:

Just wondering what they consider "domestic", anyway. Ford builds 200,000 F-series trucks annually in Canada, and Chevy builds 230,000 GMT900's (numbers are from 2003 and are likely outdated). Ford Panthers are Canadian, as are most of the Modular V8 engines. Heck, before NAFTA, Volvos were made right here in Nova Scotia.
2015 Mustang GT Premium - 5.0, 6-speed, Guard Green - too much awesome for one car

My F-150 starts with 3. I guess some were built here, too...

 I wanted one sooo badly (one built in Canada, so i could have imported legally to Mexico), but trust me, i couldn`t find anything ! i wanted a 94-98 S90, but i think these were built in belgica, so guess what i got for 2008 ?

 A clue.....the Vin starts with J....
