Don't give that car up if you don't want to! I just put a Crown Vic back together that was supposed to be "totaled".It needed drivers side fender, cornering light, both doors, two wheels repaired and a little Q panel work. The estimate was for $3965 and I did it for $525. Make a deal with the...

Those 429's look like 429 Thunder Jets's not Cobra Jet's to me. The Thunder jet was the LTD, T-Bird, Lincoln 429. It was also the standard engine in 1970 Torino Cobra's. with the 429CJ and 429SCJ being the options. Every 429CJ I've ever seen had aluminum valve covers from the factory, even...

I've done this on several Crown vic's, not as hard as it looks but no fun either. The Motorcraft blend door actuator is available at Rockauto for $45.79 + ship.

I've always sent everything by the USPS since UPS got so expensive. I've never had a single problem, not one. Everything arrives on time and not broken, maybe I've been lucky. But just in case, I always insure everything and get a tracking number.

Ok, thanks for that info, what got me was 66/67, since the Gone in 60 sec. car was based on the 67/68 body, and had nothing to do with 66 models. I thought maybe there was another Gone movie out there I've never heard about. Seems like a lot of people like that car. But I still think a real 67...

At the risk of looking ignorant: What is a 66/67 Eleanor?

Just go get a CVPI or HPP complete rear at the JY with 3:27 or 3:55 gears. It will be a direct swap if you stick with a rear from CV or GM 98-02. All HPP's were 3:27 except for the 2000 models which were 3:55's, but none were locking. You have to stick with CVPI's if locking is a must, and...

I think we can do a swap, all I'm interested in would be the clock center section. Not the smaller trim on the left of the wheel. If you'll send me some pics of what you have I'll send you pics of mine. PM me so we can exchange emails.

I have the 04 part, mint, I removed it when I installed the factory clock, but I also changed out the smaller trim on the left of the steering column. And I wouldn't want to trade if I can't get both trim parts. There is a way to turn the clock in the radio off, you're not stuck with a clock in...

I have a bone stock MM, I'm sure that just about every other MM here and every SHO can outrun and outhandle it. But I love it just the way Ford made it and would not modify a thing on it including the sound system. And I would never consider selling it for a new SHO or anything else. I see...

Bad o-rings in the EATC are a common problem. Fortunately it's an easy fix, took me about 90 minutes while watching TV.

Thanks guys, I will replace the tensioner while I'm at it. And I won't crank down on the bolt, "as tight as possible" didn't sound right to me.

I've got to replace the idler on my MM. The small one, slightly to the pass. side. Does anyone know how tight these things are suppose to be? I've been told as tight as possible and I've been told just "snug it up".:confused:

Doing that to any Marauder should carry the death penalty!

Those 19" Mustang rims should fit perfectly on the V-6 car you bought. I can't think of a single reason why not.

The best kept secret in shipping is Greyhound! They are extremely cheap, and things arrive in one piece. Weight and size are usually no problem. The only drawback is that they don't deliver, you pick up at the nearest Greyhound terminal. Other than that it's the only way to go with large or...

Eventually, after enough time the aftermarket should start making quality parts for Marauders. Just like they now make parts for 60's Mustangs, Camaros and Cudas. Today you can build a 60's Mustang with aftermarket parts, including a new body. The only problem I see is that while Mustangs were...

I agree, thats not the best look for your car. I would go back to stock asap!! But it's your car and your money, so it's your choice as well.
