I just did my plugs last summer so it'll be a while before my next change, but 3.25 seems to be a good deal. You could also try looking at getting Autolite APP764's, which sell for 3.99 in my area. I'm not sure what the Motorcraft sells for since the Autozone by my house doesn't carry the right ones and can't even order them. Motorcraft plugs are just rebranded Autolites anyway.

That's the right one for our cars? Or are the Motorcrafts best??
That's a good price. . .

If these are AGSF32PPM's that's a good price considering that they're ~$8/plug at fordpartsonline.com & ~$10 from a local dealer. I just bought a set of A'lite APP764's for $4/plug less the $1/plug rebate, so I guess I'm not immediately in need of them.
So far as the A'lites being the same as M'crafts, take a look at the pic of a typical M'craft dbl plat plug & compare it to an A'lite. Except for the logo and the color of the stripes, they sure look the same:

its just a thought. if you would be interested cool, if not doesn't matter to me. i just put it out there for food for thought. and yes they are the right ones for our cars. i believe the part # is awsf32-pp. ya you can buy the autolites and there probably is not a difference, but im not a mechanic. really if you could get them at almost the same price as autolites wouldn't you rather go with the motorcraft ones since that whats recommended 1st then autolites 2nd. shipping wouldn't be more than $5 to the east coast and i live in san jose, ca. thats 2nd day priority mail, all six plugs weigh in right under one pound packaged.like i said just food for thought. pm or email me if anybody is interested.

Motorcrafts are $3.99 at any Autozone. Occasional sales & rebates on them.
Autolites are $3.99 at any Advance. Occasional sales & rebates on them.
Both places carry all the recommended options in stock. (32PPM, 22FS, 22PPM, APP764, etc)

Autolite Plat Pro are also on sale at NAPA for $3.99 in May (and are totally overpriced otherwise). And then send in your rebate for another $1 per plug.
You can go with APP764 (full threaded like AWSF Motorcraft) or APP104 (partial thread like AGSF Motorcraft). The taper seat sets the plug height so the thread length makes no difference.

Hmmm, the APP764's that I just bought are only partially threaded, 5 threads to be exact. That was the config of the original non-plated, sgl plat Motorcraft plugs that came out of the engine. Maybe you got the descriptions reversed?

He did.
The AWSF style plugs (APP764) have the "air gap" instead of being fully threaded
