No way man, talk about a sleeper 
Damn right!
A dude back in my hometown has a mid 80s LTD wagon. Only things that will throw ya off that it's not just a old ghetto ride is the shiny monochrome black paint and the cowl hood.
My brother rode in the thing and was scared to death. The dude said he took it to Cordova (the nearest drag strip) and it was running 12's on street tires. Apparantly has some radically built 351 hooked to a 5 speed.
Anyway... I like wagons. I've owned 2, one being a sorta factory sleeper. 85 Celebrity CL (not the "Eurosport" with blacked out trim) with the one year only 2.8L MPFI "HO" V6. The 85 fuel injected 2.8 had the block/pistons/etc out of the carbed 2.8 HO, but wasn't offically an HO. In 86 they replaced it with a different 2.8 that didn't have the HO parts (also had coil packs, differnent intake, exhaust route, etc). Well, in a test run with me holding a stopwatch, it was in the 8 second range 0-60. Not bad IMO, compared to other mid-80s cars.
