silly people

it never seems to amaze me how many people think the 5.0 birds came with the HO from the factory.. but a ford dealership advertising that the car came with 'a 5.0 HO mustang motor from the factory!' is just too much.. i expect this from people who are uneducated about these cars, but ! a FORD dealership?

Why didn't these cars get the H.O. anyway? The Mark VIIs got 'em.

it's not an ad, it's on the lot at the dealership where i used to work.. it has a small description of the car on a window sticker and it clearly says '5.0 HO mustang motor and transmission from the factory' but my dad said it's definitely not an HO. my dad still works there and personally had to work on it when it came through the body shot for a new fender and header panel, so he had the hood open

Most of the guys at the local Ford dealership were just little kids when these cars were built,and when they hear they hear "5.0" they just think  of the 5.0 H.O. Most (not all) mechanics know what a computer tells them. Like the last two time Gayle took her cars to the dealership telling them there's something wrong. They take the car,hook it up to the machine,and then tell us they can't see that anything wrong. Mechanics aren't as "mechanical" as they used to be in my opinion. So,by bottom line, they are ignorant of the 5.0.

most of the people who work there are 50+, with the exception of the few accet kids and the body shop guys.. there's even an ex-fox cat guy there.. he had a cougar with a HO/T5 swap.. and i don't think anyone in the sales guys are under the age of 50 either
