Jan 12, 2021 at 8:26pm There already is a Crown Vic craze but its primarily focused on the 1998 to 2011 ones.Whether it was a Dodge DiplomatPlymouth Fury, a Chevy Caprice, or a Ford Crown Victoria, these cars defined the look of policing for a generation in much the same way the second-generation Ford CVPI (1997-2011) has for many people today.This 1991 Ford LTD Crown Victoria is located in Ferndale, Washington and here on eBay, with bidding up to 1,575 as of this writing.With less than a day to go and no reserve, this car is destined for a new owner.
The name Victoria has a long association with Ford vehicles, going all the way back to 1932 when Ford offered the Victoria model. The name Crown Victoria first appeared in 1955 as the Fairlane Crown Victoria Skyliner. After 1956, the name was removed from Fords lineup for decades, only to be revived in 1980 as part of the Ford LTD model. Available in a two or four-door sedan and four-door wagon versions, the car model was produced from 1980-1991, with a minor redesign to the front and rear in 1988 that also eliminated the two-door version. Regular models only had the option of a 302 cubic inch (4.9L) Windsor V8 after 1982. However, police could order their cars with the more powerful 351 cubic inch (5.8L) HO Windsor V8. This police model was known as the LTD Crown Victoria S or the P72, with S denoting the fleet level of trim. According to the seller, this featured Crown Victoria was originally used as a police car in California. It was later used in parades in Arizona before the current owner bought it. The seller states it needs a total mechanical restoration for it to be safe to drive. They also say that the mileage has surpassed the odometer reading, which is supposedly 104,000, further reinforcing the need for a mechanical inspection and overhaul. In terms of the exterior and interior condition, the car looks fair. While there does not appear to be body rust or major dents, the paint is pretty bad. This car seems to have been left in the Arizona sun for years, and the paint on the horizontal surfaces is very sun damaged. The dash has cracks and separation that would require replacement but elsewhere, a thorough cleaning looks like enough. Altogether, this car seems a solid buy for a restoration project, but that is a big job. Not only would there be the usual paint, mechanical and wiring-related restoration stuff, but there would also be the sourcing of the correct police equipment, such as light bar, radio receiver, siren, and other law enforcement-related equipment. I worry unless someone who cares buys it, this car could end up destroyed for a TV show or movie.
