| the actuator pump for the intake manifold runner control valve (dual-length runners) was broken when I bought it, the transmission crapped out (100,000 miles on the car, so no real huge shock there, replaced it with a new wide-ratio 4R70W that I scored for $700,) the power antenna quit working (salvage yards are a man's best friend) and a couple other minor things that I knew about when I bought it. It sounds like a lot, I know, but I knew about most of the problems when I bought it, and with the mileage, the tranny going was not a surprise. |

| 3811. Remember, the T-bird and the Mark VIII are both MN12 cars, so they're about the same size and weight. And trust me, it does NOT feel like a 3800 pound car. It accelerates hard, and the ubercool airbag suspension really helps the handling. It's a thoroughly fun car to drive. You should at least attempt to test-drive one. |

| that's craziness. Now, slam it until the wheels actually fit in the wheelwells, and I'll give some mild consideration to not hating it. |

| Lemming, with that kind of cash, you could easily score a late-model LSC. I know, mod-motor, but you'll be surprised by the awesomeness of the DOHC variant. |

The sad thing is, this thing has had an ASSLOAD of work and money poured into it, and the craftsmanship looks to be exemplary.
And it's STILL horrible. |

| Ford hasn't made a 2-door Crown Vic stock in many, many years, but there HAVE been whacked-out custom job 2-door Vics. |
