just thought id put a group of pictures together.
1985 Ford LTD Crown Victoria (according to Ford it is a LX, but it is not badged, and it only has/d cruise as an option.)
I bought the car in Spring of 2000. the original motor blew in december of 2000. Over the next 18 months the motor was replaced with another lo-po 5.0, but had a Weiand Action-Plus intake and a Holley 600 vac. carb installed. The motor was replaced with a used oil-pump. after about 6 months of driving it, I parked it. over the next 2.5 years i got almost nothign done to the car itself, about the last 6 months of that time i built the engine and assembled parts. over the next few months I installed the motor, rebuilt the rear end with a 3.55 and a trac-lok, aklso installed rear disc. I stripped all the excessive weight out of the car. I re-tagged the car again in late October of 2005, on a Thursday. that saturday i drove it 40 miles each way to the Drag strip and ran a 15.98 @90 with no traction and a crappy hal-blow AOD
If you would like any information, or a closer look at anything PM me or respond in this thread.
exterior
The first two pictures are of the current front end. it is the 79 grill and clear corners with the hood ornament. Also have the 79 tail lights.
about time i do an update.
added a 2.5" cowl, painted the hood black, and then painted the car in desert camo.
