98' P71 Vic with newer rear snows...cheap winter car!

Well ok, not FREE technically. Looking for $1,500 firm but you could easily drive this for the winter and sell it for break even or damn near.

My 98 interceptor/crown vic is still up for grabs. $1500 firm. 135k miles. Nearly new snows on rear. Been reliable as hell for me and the prior 2 owners from NYSpeed as well. Quarter rust but no rot or horrible damage.

Lemme know if you want any other info. Pics tonight or early this week. For now see below for pics when Dannyboy owned it.

Has newer southern gas tank and straps. I’ll be replacing the battery. Has time left on inspection even and is on the road for test drives.

beasstttttttttttttt

This has beast’s name all over it.

The jury has spoken…Beast…come pick up your new ride!

For what its worth,back when i had that '98 CV of yours i…Changed the oil/filter,seafoamed the intake twice(just to make sure it was good and cleaned out),replaced the spark plugs,cleaned and dielectric greased the coil pack boots,cleaned the MAF wire,and changed out the air filter.

Just giving a little maintenance history on it.

Here are the few pix i still have of the car,i did later slap a black grille on it off of a '99 P71.

Love the color. Looks like a much lighter shade of blue than normal.

I remember reading it’s actually a mis colored car. There was a batch that got f’ed up at the factory basically.

Thanks Danny_Boy for the input on some history. :slight_smile:

dead nuts reliable for me , no issues , I’d buy it back but I really dont have a use for it (I have a '00 P71 now), perfect DD for someone!

Thanks again for the vote 9c1ny! I want this gone soon as at the moment it’s a liability I don’t need. Insurance on 2 cars for one thing is kind of a waste for me. :wink:
Title is clean ready to go fellers. :slight_smile:

Buyer will be getting a new battery on my dime. Battery is spent finally…it looks pretty old. Starts fine with jump so it’s 100% just needing a battery.
Nobody looking for a snow beast yet? Snow will be here soon…be ready!

BUMP. Snow will be here before we know it. Get this and have some fun. :wink:

Buying an 850cca battery today for this. Ready to rock n’ roll this winter!!!

Just dropped battery in and shes back to crusing. I got the $100 “gold” battery from Advance Auto if anyone’s wondering. Same price for the car…battery is out of my pocket. :wink:
Help clear my driveway and help yourself have some winter transport!

Nice bait and switch with the “free” title, haha.

It’s free if you use it over the winter and sell it barring any accident or trashing of the car. It’s a steal for $1500 IMO, especially with a new friggin battery and almost new rear snows. But I must be delusional since it hasn’t sold yet.
Time to post it on CL…bet it’s gone in a few weeks. LOL

hmm interesting,

Would like to see some recent pics. Any close up of the rust?

pm sent

PM replied. Anyone can see current pics above. Lemme know if there are any questions fellas, or to test drive her.

I should clarify if I didn’t already state this…
The only issue I’ve found in my use is the blower motor resistor is wacky and so the heater/ac only works full blast. That’s a cheap fix if someone even cares to bother. In the winter full blast is probably a good thing. Heat works great!

The worst of the rust is the passenger front outer fender as pictured. The rest is surface.

98’ P71 Vic with newer rear snows…cheap winter car!

Mods…can you change the title to show the above since I don’t want to piss anyone off with the free beater thing.

Thanks

Going on CL for $1700 OBO. I’ll deal with some spammers but bet this sells quick.
Anyone want a crack at her for $1500 firm now’s the time. :slight_smile:

I’m soooo tempted…these things last forever so even if you want just a DD to last, I could see another 50-80k go on that thing no problem

Don’t be tempted…just DOOOO it. :wink:
I don’t want to shovel around this thing come snow time. Hell I don’t want to shovel, better get my snows on the suby. HAHAH.
