Regarding the 460.... I had a ‘72 Ford Mercury Marquis Broughm- 2 door. had the same 460 V8. Man that land yacht could float down the highway. Boy those were the day, weren’t they.


I know this is an RV forum but the comment above brought back a lot of memories . "Float" down the highway was right back then. Had a 67 Plymouth Fury III 2 door 383 that literally (really) seemed to just float along. That and the dark red velour interior (think bordello - but man it looked cool in the dark) made me switch to a 69 Buick Electra 225 - yep, still the same but at least it had those semi enclosed rear fender skirts that looked cool.... Float was the word alright.
