    New (Kinda) '11 Vic.

    Hey guys!

    Some of you might remember me some not, I had my '86 Vic that I sold last August, and almost immediately felt naked. I wanted another box, and still do, but the thought of getting a new car started creeping into my head, and after being disappointed with pretty much every new car, I almost slapped myself for not thinking about a Vic!

    Went to look at a few over-priced ones, and one with the doors rotting out (!!!!! on an '11 with 25k!!!!!!) and found this one down in Kankakee, Illinois. Ened up at about 13.5 (maybe too much but I like it) with a 6 yr/100k warranty (Bumper to bumper) and a replacement Michelin Energy tire. Got it with 28,850

    So stats are:

    2011 Ford Crown Victoria LX
    29,300 Miles
    Silver Birch Metallic
    Light Flint or something Leather


    So far replaced all courtesy lighting and dome and license plate lights with cool white Led's, and Washed, Claybarred and waxed with Meguairs NXT 2.0

    Now some pics. I have added a smoked license plate cover front and rear since then.

























    And a remembrance of the '86!

      You can't beat those factory Fanblades and the rear black out trim looks great too.

                        The montego and box went to two really cool dudes. The montego guy is planning on a rwstoration and I believe has already begun the body work on it.

                        The box is serving as a summer driver and may recive a 351 swap in yhe near future
