I'm thinking of buying a crown vic cause
-v8
-rwd
-last millions of years
-cheap parts
-very cheap
Is this a good idea? I know people might think I'm a cop but I plan to fix it up so I look nothing like one. Pic related. Your thoughts?

It's a comfy as fuck, good looking, durable, reliable landbarge. If you don't mind being slow and getting shit mpg go for it
My brothers new engine on his vic including labor cost the same as my power steering pump on my German shitbox
a slow v8
so slow it doesnt matter
so will a Camry

youll just look autistic
but if its what you want then whatever

is mpg really that shitty?
4.6 modular sucks
swap something cool in it
>>16255229
I plan to do that in the future or even supercharge it.
>>16255225
it's a V8 with multi-point EFI from the 90's
yes it's bad
>>16255225
>is mpg really that shitty
Depends how you drive
>>16255187
Go for it
If I didn't live in Eurabia, I would definitely consider one as a daily
Literally no reason not to. Go get one and take some fucking curbs at 60mph son, vics are beasts.
>BUT SLOOOOW
Then why don't you go bait some cops into a race and find out just how slow they are.
Get a Grand Marq or Town Car instead.
We don't need more poverty tier p71's around here.
>>16255299
Everyone needs a P71. Or at least P71 parts for their other panthers.
My dream is to figure out how to get a Dana 30 under the front of one and build the ultimate offroad panther.
get an LTD instead, they already come with a 5.0

Agreed. Even a measly HO swapped lopo will leave a pi 2v modular in the dust.

It's not about the miles per gallon it's the smiles per gallon that counts
>>16255187
go for it
>>16255225
15/25, depends what your MPG standards are. I think it's pretty good personally.
>>16255299
I would second this if only because from my pov, While a cop Vic might be cheap as shit, it's also really bare and has been abused to hell and back.
I'd rather get a civillian Vic, or a GM or Town Car. (I do in fact have an 03 Grand Marquis)
that said, the 90's town cars are when that particular car peaked
