60% of the time it works every time!  **Located in Seattle**

Selling my 2004 Crown Vic LX.  Keeping the price high(er) on CraigsFace due to the lowballers, but I'm flexible.  This would be a good project for somebody who knows these cars.

Here is your chance to own a legend! 2004, Crown Victoria LX. Priced at $3,900 or best offer. Considered by some on the internet to be the best year of the Crown Vic due to the redesigned suspension and throttle by wire.

This car has 177,132 original miles and has been a project for me that I am now ready to move on from.

The good -
Clean title
3.73 rear end with Trac-Loc differential
70mm throttle body from the 5.4 V8
Aluminum driveshaft from a P71
H-pipe exhaust with cherry bomb mufflers
Custom hot air intake
New front brakes pads and rotors. All brakes bled.
Tires in great shape
Recent oil change
Interior in good shape
Heated side mirrors
New passenger window regulator
Tinted windows
Trailer hitch with Prodigy brake controller.

The less good -
Airbag light is on
Differential can be noisy when cold
Only front two speakers work (just need to re-wire the rear ones)
Blend door actuator does not work. BUT, I installed a bypass and the car has cold or hot air. It works, but it's a little finicky and is not as good as factory. 
Paint has some scratches and dings
Rear bumper is damaged

Included at the full price is the following. Otherwise negotiable -
SCT tuner - needed for the 3.73 rear to tell the computer the new gear ratio
Full kit to lower front and rear by approx 2 inches
Exhaust parts to add Marauder style tips
Various additional parts

Nice car, clean interior and surprisingly rust free for its age and location.

I don't think you understand the PNW.

I want.

However, it will eventually sacrifice its body for Challenge glory, so this is way too expensive for me.

 

Good luck!

Thanks for the bumps.  Price is negotiable :)  I would like this car to go to a nice new home.

And yes, it's not rusty underneath.  In spite of the rain here in the PNW, cars don't seem to rust.  It's great!

Would love to place a Shoebox body on one of those!
