P71 Crown Vic

[tarafied1]

My middle son, who put the DOHC in the 99GT, had an unfortunate timing chain tensioner failure. Cloyes setup for the motor was over $300 and you would expect it to last a long time. Anyway, as a result the cylinder head and valves are damaged. On a college kid budget he decided it would have to sit for a while. In the meantime he was driving our 07 and racking up the miles. My father-in-law passed away over a year ago and my mother-in-law got tired of driving the P71 Crown Vic so I offered to give her whatever a dealer offered her as a trade in. I went up to Chicago and got it a couple weeks ago. She had hit a light pole in a parking lot and banged up the passenger front pretty good, it needed a tire and a wiper arm. I got a tire and wiper arm and drove it 500 miles back home. It developed a missfire which turned out to be a coil pack. Anyway, did some work on it and gave it to my son so we could get our 07 back. He loves it!

I picked up a fender at the pick a part also but I need to paint it. The header panel is just black primer and I spray bombed the bumper. I’ll do a better job when it gets warmer.

Cool. That should be fun.

it's a neat car, it was a detective car in the Naperville Illinois fleet. My father-in law got it from the city. It was pretty clean but my mother-in-aw kind of let it go... It runs and drives pretty well.

Do people slow down when he gets behind them? Or are your LE driving SUVs now.

No matter I'd slow if I saw that in my mirror. COOL

Keep it monochromatic.

Wish I keep the donar vic we bought for the front-end we put in Julie's truck. It has tons of good stuff, just did not have time to part it out, sent it to the scrapyard.
