Boxes for me it has to do with pushrod v8 and chrome bumpers ,the way cars used to be1989 crown Vic daily driver 165k and counting!

Got an '87 GM and '95 but prefer the '87. Not quite as a refined ride but reliable as all hell and have had it since new. Had to "de-hoochiefy" the '95!

The box panther. Real materials for a real car. Parts are everywhere and interchangeable. Reliable as hell.Comment

Id personally like to have one of both. 4.6 parts are literally everywhere now too, considering it's one of ford's most mass produced engines ever. I'd pick a Box to modify the piss out of and a newer car to DD.2003 Crown Vic - Stainless Works Longtubes + 2.5" exhaust, 19" C/S Wheels, 70MM TB

Box, only because it's the only type of car I have ever owned, and there has always been one in the family for the past 23 years.
Mom had a 93 MGM that I drove for a couple weeks while my 89 MGM was down, I really didn't care for it. It seemed sluggish but it was probably just that car and not all Aeros.Vic

Box, but I'd have no issue with a 90 Towncar. Best of both worlds, a real engine, real bumpers, but the quieter ride and improved aerodynamics of the later model.86 Lincoln Town Car (Galactica).

I prefer the boxes. Easy on parts, good ride, comfort, less electronics to break. I like the 302 not the 351.
Aeros are ok however they look like everything else on the road. Great gas mileage on the aeros I have had.

I think personally I like both. I currently own a 91 box, its been a great car. I've driven a 93 mgm and maybe its just me, but it seemed that it had a lot more get-up, and alot smoother. A buddy of mine has a 03 p71 and it's a beast of a car, i love it. Ive been debating on looking for an aero or whale in the near future to replace my box, I just don't know if it would be a smart move. And I really don't know if i'd have the heart to get rid of my car.

I'd have a newer car just because of the age and parts availability. I can't find a goddamn thing for my car, need a rust free trunk lid and a pair of fenders would be nice - I'd rather start with good pieces than fix ones that already have rust, but I works with what I gots.Last edited by 1990LTD; 01-10-2013, 12:55 AM.sigpic
