Hey everyone! I've been out of the Panther loop for a while but the time has come to get back into it. I owned a 2002 Grand Marquis LS from January 2006 to September 2008. I bought it mint at 25K and put 44K on it, and duals/ported plenum/clearcoated steelies with caps. I frequented Crownvic.net but never did get around to joining on here. That car was my pride and joy until gas hit $1.45/liter here (over $5/gal) and I got scared. Traded it for a 2009 Corolla, which to it's credit has been good to me in the 78K I've already put on it, but I've always missed my "big" Mercury (" " because I have a '76 Thunderbird that dwarfs it, heh).
I didn't think I'd own another Panther again until this came up on the local classifieds. I just couldn't pass it up. 1987 Crown Vic LX, towing package with duals, 70K, local car (southwestern Ontario) that was never winter driven. ALL original, and only on its second set of tires. Everything works, including the AC which was recently rebuilt by the dealership. Original owner. The icing on the cake: it was built in the same MONTH as I was born, May 1987
It is immaculate. Probably one of the best examples of such a survivor in this area. Paid more than I would have cared to, but it was less than he was asking and in person the condition spoke for itself. The car will continue to be stored for the winter, and I have my Corolla for the bad weather driving. I really think it's a great way to get back into a Panther!
