Oh damn that sucks going to get another Panther car?

I don't know. I'd like to but I'm always swapping cars. I like to bring them back to life, sell them and get another one to bring back. Right now I've got a 2009 PT Cruiser "Granny Car" that I'm looking forward to getting done. The biggest issue is getting the drivers seat clean. Resolve is doing a good job at getting the poo out. Granny had issues before she went into a nursing home. Panthers are getting hard to find around here. The mechanical stuff is all routine. I didn't realize the following those have.

As for keeping it as a donor, I spent the night in the hospital and since I didn't have full coverage, I didn't feel like getting it out of impound and hauling it 180 miles home.

So the Vics have this air dam which overtime sags and it will scrap here and there so I picked up a new one and threw it on

Where did you grab the new one from? My sons 2004 Grand Marquis has the same issue with its air dam.

I grabbed it off EBay https://www.ebay.com/itm/OEM-NEW-Fr...2?pageci=a8987743-dcf7-440b-b429-76bc08315f3b

Great thread.
My CV's have been the most reliable cars I have ever owned.

Thanks, that Vic is pretty sharp, you still have it? What do you have done to it? And they are great cars won’t find one more reliable not a fast car but they last and take abuse

It’s not a bad console it fits pretty snug, I didn’t want a police one at first but if I found a clean one with cup holders I’d probably snag it down the road I’d like to add some amber lights and would need a spot for the switches

Thecopcar had no console, so I made one with ammo cans. I was intending to use it for a utility vehicle anyway. Lola on the other hand did have a console still in place, except for the faceplates. I fabbed one pretty quickly, but I’ll probably redo it sometime.

That looks pretty good that’s the kinda style I’d want for the Vic if go the police style center console route with the arm rest
