    Hello from TX im a Ford fan in general mostly foxbodys. Ben on the hunt for a F100 and a wagon of some sort so I just acquired a 86 LTD Crown Vic Wagon with 76k documented miles. Car is super clean and runs great as well as the ride. AC blows super cold and cruise works great. MY kids love the jump seats in the back as well. Car has 200o model front control arms, knuckles and brakes. Largest sway bar possible front and rear and has been lowered with speedway springs about a 1.5 inches the previous owner says. I wanna go lower though. Wheels are mercury lace BBS 16s I also plan to go up to 18s as well. Any for for more power and lowering the car more would be great.

    Welcome from another Texan (DFW area)! Nice ride.

    If you decide to sell those wheels after you get 18s... post up here. They will sell.

          Welcome!

          Do you get any exhaust coming in the back window when it's down? Looks good like that either way.

              I saw that car on craigslist a few weeks ago. I thought it looked familiar. Congrats on the buy and welcome from another Texan.

                Welcome! That's a sharp-looking wagon you snagged there, I like it. Don't know if i'd go any lower but I guess it all depends on what kind of driveways you go in and out of. Otherwise, sounds like it's time for engine mods!

                        Nice, another wagon!
                        Someday in the very distant future I'd like to get another wagon. I sure miss the one I had (R.I.P.).
