    1988 Grand Marquis LS "Winter Beater"

    Hi all,

    Not new at all to Panthers, but I didn't want to drive the Marauder in the winter here in salty Michigan, so I picked up a '88 box Grand Marquis from Colorado...problem is: for being 21, and $1000.00, it's almost as clean as my Marauder!

    So anyway, longtime lurker, yadda yadda...glad to be here...looking forward to helping/contributing...

        to GMN! That merc is clean, don't take the term winter beater too much to heart, just call it a winter daily driver and take good care of it

                They are in really nice shape (pictures make them look a bit worn, but they aren't.) I don't think anyone ever sat in the back!

                        An awesome winter car. You've got my dream team right now...Marauder when it's not snowing and a box panther when it is. Nice.

                          I wish my car was as clean as yours. My frame has been through too many Wisconsin winters...
