Was going through some of the listings on Copart and this caught my eye. It seems to be a rather base model Grand Marquis tudor. Looks like someone was attempting to eliminate the CFI setup and it has some additional gauges in the interior. Must have been sitting a bit due to all the dust in the engine bay. Wouldn't be a bad project for someone out west or someone willing to travel.

Look at that hefty radiator. Looks like a decent low dollar project. Donated vehicle so previous owner did not want it junked Good thing it is in NV. It would never pass a Ca. smog test.

Yup, looks to have an electric fan conversion too by that weird bracket. Hmmm. Bet I could get it smogged....Comment

Hate Ecklebrock carburetors, they're the cop-out's choice yet right out of the box they typically don't run right either. Holley's are a breeze to change jets and such. That two door looks beat. Never buy someone else's unfinished hobby car.1985 LTD Crown Victoria - SOLD

Holley's a breeze to change jets?? You must have that backasswards... Why completely drain and remove the fuel bowl when I can pop the top off and and do it without spilling a drop?Originally posted by DerekTheGreat View Post
That said, I do have a $600 pro-systems 750 on my 408w. Not because its easier to swap jets, but that the speed shop gurus can tune it for more power

Not backwards at all, matter of preference. I never saw it as a PITA to remove one of the bottom bolts with a tray or paper towel under it to catch the run off. It's an old guy muscle car thing. I like seeing holleys on top of stuff, not Ecklebrock (Yes, I know it's spelled Edelbrock)1985 LTD Crown Victoria - SOLD

For some short dollars you could do a trip to Vegas. Buy the car, stop at Stateline on the return. Do some gambling, hit a buffet and see a show. Rooms are reasonable too. That was one of my getaways in the 90s.Originally posted by knucklehead0202 View Post Comment
