    My 2nd Panther- '85 Grand Marquis LS

    Well here she is, the replacement to my totaled '84. Picked her up last month for $800. She had just under 75k miles on her when I picked her up and I've since put on about 250 miles. More details and pictures to come!Click image for larger version

    What a deal! I love the white walls. So wish mine had white wall tires. I am one sided as my Marquis is the same. Clean white exterior. Just something about a white car. Great looking ride and look forward to more pictures.

              Thanks everyone! I'm really loving this car. As I drive GM more and more it's actually scary how similar it is to my '84, no surprise there. My current plans are to keep her bone stock! I just love a car that looks like it did when it came out of the factory. When I picked up the car she was pissing oil pretty badly. Turns out it was the oil pan gasket and the intake manifold gasket. Both of which had been replaced, just not properly... She's all fixed now so no worries there. Absolutely everything works on this car, I can't believe it, I hope I didn't jinx myself. Someone took good care of this car. The last owner replaced the fuel pump so that's one less thing to worry about. Tires are practically brand new too. Brake lines have been replaced at some point, fuel lines have also been replaced. Oil pan is new, muffler is new, gas tank is also newer.

                      Interior pics coming soon. I'll have to take some presentable shots when it's actually nice out. Didn't realize how few picture's I've taken, that's not like me lol

                      I invested in a real dash cover since some of these pics were taken. The dash is to minty not to protect. Also I put a burgundy wheel cover on since the leather wrapped wheel is like new

                          Jones Beach. I see you're not to far away, you ever been? After 4 PM on weekdays and 6 PM on weekends they stop collecting the vehicle entrance fee! I try to make it there at least once a week to jog, it's probably the best part about living on Long Island.

                            Yep. Going nowhere near there now though as the car would get plastered with the buggies.
