Here's my suggestion. Buy three crown vics. Do a turbo on one. Coyote swap one. Supercharge the last one. Do a price comparison and performance evaluation on each.

I had a regular Crown Vic from the early 00's, and what I used to like about that car was it I was whisper quiet. You would mash the gas and you would be thrown back against the seat and all you would hear was the woosh of the air with just a hint of a grumble from under the hood. I miss that car, i miss the bench seats.

[@BloodRaven1969]

You guts have discovered something I've known for years. An ex-patrol unit is cheap to get your hands on, easy to soup up, and makes one damn good sleeper when done. I've done several Fords for myself all the way back to a 1977, and helped do up Chrysler's and Chevy's friends got. Welcome to the doughnuts and speed club guys!

[@Brock_Landers]

I am 37 years old, and I've owned 56 cars and trucks over the years, and I used to be into domestics, but in 1999 when I got my license and lived in Florida it was all about the imports. Then the original Fast and the Furious came out and that was it for me, I was all about the imports. To this day I have a 97 EJ8 Civic coupe that is currently tuned to 612 whp and I'm about to turn it up. That being said, when I was younger I had a 74 Camaro Z28 with a 400 that had Trick Flow heads, an Edelbrock dual tunnel ram intake manifold, two Holley 750 double pumpers, and two velocity stacks sticking out the hood, and it was backed up by a Muncie M-22 Rock Crusher out of a Vette. It had a 4.11 posi and 19" wide Mickey Thompson drag radials. It was all black with Fatal Attraction airbrushed across the back with the Heartbeat of America and the old Chevy block logo. I LOVED that car. I miss it so much sometimes. My brother still owns it, and he restored it to original, but it now has a 355 sbc that makes 425 hp. He is currently making it into a frame off restomod. He also has a 2018 ZL1 Camaro, a 2010 Corvette convertible, and a jacked up 2019 GMC Sierra Black Widow edition. Thanks for the trip down memory lane buddy. I enjoyed reading your comment.

[@CrashBack7]

[@CrashBack7]

@@daviedood2503 I actually got one finally this past February. I won the bid on a municipal auction site. A 2011 p7b black and white for $1,550. Needed a power steering line and fuel filter. It has 65,000 miles and over 7,000 idle hours but runs great. It's not that pretty but I plan on making it look nicer. I can't figure out how to post a picture of it.

​@@tonyaltobello6885It's a cop car... With 8-way adjustable leather seats.

[@ninline2000]

The best thing about the Panther platform is that full frame. You can beat the living hell out of it without breaking it. When the Georgia State patrol went to the Charger they broke one after another slamming through ditches and medians like they always did in the Crown Vics. They finally had to tell them to quit it and baby the unibody Chargers. Now I see more and more cops going to SUV or actual Pickups because there isn't a car made anymore that can take that kind of abuse.

[@poot111111]

Right after the bit about protecting the paint you dent the hood with the hood slide...18:57- 19:00 maybe one less doughnut next time? Awesome project guys !!! Maybe stuff that new 390FE in another Panther Body?

I have always wanted a 94 Towncar. My dad had one for a while and it was the best body style of Towncar imo. The one he had came with a 4.6 2v, but he also had a 92 with a 5.0. He also had a 93 Lincoln Mark VIII with the 4.6 4 valve and that car was ALOT of fun, and it was really fast for only having 300 hp.

As for brakes they are getting done today(new oem). Next on the list will be gearing and suspension and finished off with remote mount turbo and exhaust.
