Question Ford Crown Victoria?

I'm considering a '90 Crown Victoria. 302 motor, Asking price is $895. So any comments, good bad or ugly?

Go for it, those things held together pretty well as long as the body hasn't rotted away.

Crown Vics are great cars, IMO. I have seen them go forever with abuse.

CV's are cool. I would have bought a second one but my wife nixed that. I even offered to have the Kenny Banks supercharger added to it but she wanted a Jeep.

When I gave my '92 to my sister it had 150K on it and still looked like it was new. You can't go wrong with a Crown Vic.

For $895, I'd take it, no question. I wanted a P-71 at one point, still kinda do, but I love my BMW!

Thats because there would be several of them positioned all over a city with radio communication.

Its an excellent car but its not really that quick.

Parts are easy to find because of the many made, Those engines can leak oil but no big deal to fix. Known to be dependable and insurance companys like them because of safety ratings,,
