lol that is what i had my eye on as well, but in all honesty i really believe Pete should keep it for his 85 Crown Victoria.

[hav24wheel]

I don't know about that, it would look way better in my 83. Lol. Plus my speedo runs out of #s all the time.

[85crownHPP]

hehe... true I *should* keep it for mine, but honestly Im too chicken to drive it over 85 around here... dont wanna risk a reckless driving ticket!
Especially now that it's able go over 85... if I were to run it that fast, i wouldn't care/wouldn't matter how fast its actually going

This also has decent blue vinyl base model door panels, someone here was looking for those...

Im off work today - getting ready to go get my check and cash it, Im supposed to meet the guy after 5 because I forgot i was off today, but might be able to get the title sooner. Its only a half mile from my house so Ill probably limp it home with the E-brake with the tags from the 91 on it
Of course only after I test drive it in the parking lot and make sure I can actually keep it under control with the E-brake.

You're not too chicken to ride 85+ though :evil:

[hav24wheel]

Find what line is shot and pintch it off, than fill it back up with fluid. Should get good enough brakes that way.

So is that a yes I can have the speedo? Lol

hell naw!!!

Especially in something built by scottmang!
I remember being so amazed the 1st time I rode in scotts townie back in '04... we were doing at least 90-100 on the interstate and the thing acted like it was on tracks!!!
Your 2-door and Mikes waggin are just as amazing... pure thrill adrenaline with only a hint of "we're gonna die!!!" from leftover sub-conscious feelings that a big car shouldn't move like that... but you mangs' box's break all the rules

It sounds like it may be a steel line at or near the MC that blew...

And thats a maybe on the speedo, lol. i gotta figure out if its gonna get parted or not 1st, I should know in a week or so, once I get it fixed/tagged/insured/inspected and see how it drives.

If I part itout, looks like the speedo will go to the highest bidder :evil:

[hav24wheel]

Highest bidder! That's BS. Lol. I called if first!

Well if it is up by the MC, than pintching it off won't work as well.
I love the fact these cars can do 100 and it feels like ur only goin 60. Reminds me of my 73 imperial, that thing had a 130 mph speedo that ran out of #s many a times. Lol.

Well good luck on ur drive home withit.

Yup, been bitten by the box madnesss bug indeed. No need to seek the cure though as this is actually a good sickness.

If you DO decide to part it, I might be interested in the rear sway bar, gotta have the lower arms too, mine don't have any mounting holes.

[1987cp]

Peteymang is going to die driving this home, then sign on to GMN and start whining about it.

[87gtVIC]

I hope you actually keep it if there are not too many surprises with it.
