Just black, I want to do it in red sometime down the line, but I didnt have any paint, and it looked really ugly before.

Holy shit, How long did you hold that brake stand for? That tire is messed. I lit em up every day for about 3 months before I got new tires and still had tread. Anyway nothing wrong with that. Bar looks good."Shakedown"- 1991 Grand Marquis GS Dual exhaust, Magnaflow xl turbos, Rear anti sway bar, Outlaw 1 wheels, 43k miles

Thanks, its looks really good, im going to try and get some better pictures tomm. It looks especially tough at dusk.
And hahahaha, that my friend is a summers worth of brake stands, but there was the mother of all burnouts last month that sealed the deal for that tire, there are still hunks of rubber melted to the underside of the car
The back tires are so dry rotted its not funny, I really should have replaced them BEFORE winter, but im 17, I know everything, right?
Also the car is going in for a new headliner next Saturday, I cant wait! 125 Bucks installed, not too shabby

That car is VERY clean for the price. I paid more than that for my 2-door and its a LOT worse off and when I bought it thing needed an oil pan, the blinkers didnt work and the rear brake lines were shot (I know I got screwed). Anyways, kick ass car and your doing good with the mods, shes comming along nicely and I am enjoying watching it unfold my friend!Last edited by 87DeuceVic; 03-31-2010, 09:57 PM.-2004 Crown Victoria Police Interceptor - Daily Driver - 17" Bullitt's, 235/55/17 Goodyear Eagles, Ex-NH State Police, best 1/4 mile time; 15.3 @ 90 mph

Ive noticed these cars are a bit more pricey up here. My rear quarters were gone and it needed a new vinyl top, and I paid 2500, although it came with only 36k miles on itOriginally posted by 87DeuceVic View Post

Well here in Chicago there pretty darn cheap. Caprices are a lot more popular, and 70's GM products. No offense to anyone by saying this, but here its VERY hard to find a 70's/80's car thats not been donked out, or "Mexican-ified". Especially a box chevy or ford.
