    New member from Michigan

    Hello all,

    I'm new to this forum, but not the panther world. Growing up I've always been around Fords, that's what my family drives. In high school I had a 1998 grand marquis I drove for a while and growing up, my mother had a few panthers. I've mainly been a truck guy during my life so far, but decided that I needed a car too, and what better than a RWD, v8 American sedan. Now to my car; its a 1986 LTD Crown Victoria with 112,000 miles. I am the second non family owner of this car. The original owner bought it new Brandenton, FL. She drove to and from here home in Ohio to Florida. A few years before she past away in 2001, she gave the car to her brother and law, who also used the car to drive from his home in Pentwater, MI to Florida every year until 2005. Since then the car has been in storage and has only had 4,000 miles put on it. I have all of the cars documentation and service work done to the car, (its still on its second set of tires). So this is my car, and I look forward to driving it and being part of the community.

    - Cody

    Sounds like quite the find! Congrats on the new ride - I don't see many boxes on the road anymore, let anyone any from the 80s.

                A fellow Michiganiac! Sweet.
                1990 MGM: $50 E7 heads, HO cam, Holley SysteMAX lower intake, HO upper intake with an Explorer TB. LSC ECM. Lincoln logs into stock dual exhaust. K&N drop in air filter. Wide ratio AOD, 2400 converter with a 3.08 one tire fire out back. Car is less slow now. Then there's the '92 Beater. Dual 2.25" exhaust with shiny tips. Rumbles nice. Super slow. Burns oil too.

                  Howdy from NC ! I like all the Crown Vics and most Panther Fords but really partial to the "boxes" (even though I was cussin' one today). Nice find and it always helps to the "history".

                      Nothing right away, funds are low. In the long run, new wheels and tires, possibly tinted windows, dual exhaust, H.O. heads, intake, new cam, and what ever else comes about.

                      Thanks for all the welcomes!
