Yesterday I got in a pretty bad crash with the T-Bird. I’ll let the pictures do the talking:

Also, I put the Crown Vic up for sale on eBay. Unfortunately with the T-Bird possibly totaled, I might have to pull the auction and fix it up to be my daily driver once more.

We’ll see.

Unfortunately, I just have to sell my Crown Vic. It’s been a great car for the past 14 months, and as my first car I’ll always remember it.

Here’s the info:

• 1993 Ford Crown Victoria P71 “Police Interceptor”
• VIN 2FACP71W7PX188764
• 4.6L (281ci) SOHC V8 (200 HP)
• AODE electronic 4 speed automatic transmission
• Factory true dual exhaust with “H” pipe
• 8.8″ rear axle w/ 2.73:1 gears

The car has year-old tires, has been maintained at the recommended intervals, and runs fairly well. It has leather seats from a Grand Marquis and a CD playing head unit (not installed). This car will do triple digit speeds comfortably if one is so inclined.

With the good, there’s always the bad. It’s dripping coolant from some unknown place, it burns oil, and there’s a hole in the exhaust. The paint isn’t great and there’s rust in the fenders. There are also some stains on the carpet and a major crack in the dash cover.

Regardless of this, if the coolant and oil levels are checked and topped off every week or two, it runs fine. I used it as my daily driver right up until I got my Thunderbird and it never left me stranded or gave me any real trouble.
