Be sure to drive one before you buy it. I don't have any personal experience but the main complaint seems to be lack of power. They are only 136 cubic inches so I could believe there is a lack of power. Many of them had 4.44 rear end gears which I would think would make them scream on the freeway. As I said I don't have any personal experience, you need to drive it and decide for yourself but that is what I would be looking for. Charlie Stephens

You may also concern yourself with drivability. They are so very under powered you WILL find it difficult to climb steep hills unless you downshift. Unless the entire car is a gem and priced quite fair, I might advise you keep looking ... find one with the 85HP. There IS a reason Ford discontinued this little engine so quickly.

Thank you for your response. I'm looking at a 37 60. Concerned about parts and of course the price.

If the cars are identical in all other ways, about 25% less with the 60.
