I wondered why they went through the trouble of swapping the radio and HVAC controls.
If anything the factory placement is better on 89 down.2020 Volvo XC90 T6 Momentum (Ice White / Blonde)

I honestly do not get a hard on for the '79 cars... I think the mirrors, grille, bumper and taillights are kinda neat but anemic 302/351, lack of OD, carpitator and all that bring the value down. You can swap that one year only stuff over to an '87 and achieve the same appearance but gain OD, SEFI and other updates like four channel stereo, tripminder and such. But, if a guy or gal is hell bent on a '79 then it all depends. Like you said Dave, you can't restore one for less than $7k so if that is your dream car for whatever reasons then $7k isn't a bad deal. But with all the other similar cars out there at the time (Carpitator, 3 speed auto..) I'd rather put that money somewhere else and would advise anyone coming to me for direction on where to invest their money the same thing. It was just like that '87 Cadillac Brougham I saw for sale on Vanguard Motor's website.. Preposterous they expect to get what, $29,900 for that turd? But a budding enthusiast might not know that 1990-1992 saw the desirable improvements over the previous years and thus get taken advantage of...1985 LTD Crown Victoria - SOLD

Light Blue 1985 Ford LTD Crown Victoria powered by a 5.0L V8 engine with a Automatic transmission (1274-ORD). Gateway Classic Cars has 3735 Classics For Sale in our 20 Indoor Showrooms Nationwide.
Overpriced, but nice looking.
Can't figure out why the radio antenna is on the rear quarter panel however. I looked up '85 model LTD CVs and they're all passenger fender mounted.

That's some serious carnage. Gotta wonder what they hit/what hit them and how fast.

Repost from Giraffe but I wanted to make sure Vic sees this:
Ad says it has a clean title. Owner has listed it as a parts car because of a crack in the transmission case.
From the ad:
"Awesome car with alot of lifetime warranty parts. Engine is strong and good running with 180,000 miles, trans is cracked at rear seal, other than that it's driveable,if it was not for the trans it would be indeed a very dependable car...302....5.0 engine"1985 LTD Crown Victoria - SOLD

The '85 CV looks nice. Someone has painted many of the underside bits including the front control arms, axle and diff cover (if that means anything one way or another).
That TC really got messed up.
Edit:
Derek, see my reply in his thread. lolVic

Also, I didn’t realize “clean” means faded paint, dirty upholstery, trim missing, and rust coming in on the fenders. Beater with a heater? Yes. Clean? No.

It's pronounced Grand Markeese... and that is pretty clean for Detroit.
To those of us not in Detroit it's pronounced properly as Grand Marquis and that's definitely a beater Crown Vic.Vic
