4.6 question

[RugerP97DC]

I have to cook some crow now...Mercury srevice manager told me about the "test" vehicles. It was a rumor startred at Ford to see if there was enough interest ing putting the 3V engine into the Panther in 07.

Alot of dealership people don't know their ass from a hole in the ground and will tell you anything. I was playing with them asking if the town car was unibody, knowing damn well it was full frame and they said unibody. :asshat:

I'm not kidding, NOW!!!!

This would be pretty major if it's true. Usually we hear about something of this magniture though an article 6 months in advance.

This would mean that we have us a new Impalla SS (96 style) eater.

The car is over on the other side of town on a Budget sales lot.

I don't care get that picture NOW!



Just kidding mang, whenever you can.

[RugerP97DC]

The car is over on the other side of town on a Budget sales lot. It would be late tomorrow befoer I can post a pic. (If I can get one!!)

[texasvic]

Get back over there ASAP and take a picture of the engine.

I would be very excited if it is a 3V.

[RugerP97DC]

Still looking, not finding anything. The local dealsership is a mantinance point for Hertz, and this guy tells me he has worked on 12 Panthers 05 models with the 3V SOHC 4.6L. I woudl guess he would know the difference.

[texasvic]

They were test bed vehicles.

I call BS on that.

Do you have the VIN?

[Blaze86Vic]

:picsorst:

I wanna see before I'll belive it.

[RugerP97DC]

According to the local dealership Shop supervisore, Hertz and Budget got some. They were test bed vehicles. The new Panthers, due out in 07 or 08 (Yes Panter is getting redesigned NOT scrapped!!!! ) will have the 3v engine.

[Blaze86Vic]

:stupid:

No panther EVER had/has a 3V engine.

[texasvic]

This one had teh 3V Engine. I ran the VIN. Late 95 model ex-rental.

What?

No panther has ever come from Ford with a 3V.
