      stunning cars. You know, one (or both) of those things would be a real nice addition to the final STAP meet in St. Thomas next summer. just saying...

      I'm envious.

      How often do you drive them?

      85 4 door 351 Civi Crown Victoria - Summer daily driver, sleeper in the making, and wildly inappropriate autocross machine
      160KMs 600cfm holley, shorty headers, 2.5" catted exhaust, 255/295 tires, cop shocks, cop swaybars, underdrive pulley, 2.73L gears.
      waiting for install: 3.27's, Poly bushings, boxed rear arms, 2500 stall converter, ported e7's, etc

        I have 4500kms on the wagon in the 4 years i have owned it. I have only put 1 km on the sedan in the short time I have had it.

        I would be interested in getting one if not both to St. Thomas for a show depending on when and the weather.

        I have been out of the loop for a while... where can I find the details on this show?

            I picked it up for 2k. most i have ever paid for one but I couldnt paint my 79 for that. Once we are done stripping and boxing the 80 we are going to black prime the 79 and reassemble the trim. I will post some pictures of them too soon.

              Panther7t9- Great Marquis's! Love it. Which one has more power? The c4 or the aod 81?
              I realize the aod has wider ratios but I understand there's less power loss through a c4... What are some differences you can point out between the two drive trains...

                I have not been up under the 4 door but I do know it's not an over drive either so they should be pretty even. Because of the lack of miles the tranny has to come out and some
                of the seals changes as they are seaping. Soon I hope to start that and I can honestly answer your question

                        We got the first stage of the detailing done. the car is now clean. we now need to do all the polishing and dressing to really make it sparkle.

                        please enjoy the pictures as of so far
