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.

I’ll be replacing the battery. Has time left on inspection even and is on the road for test drives. ---

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. ![http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v110/Danny_LT1/My%20Caprice/P71001.jpg](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v110/Danny_LT1/My%20Caprice/P71001.jpg) ![http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v110/Danny_LT1/My%20Caprice/P71003.jpg](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v110/Danny_LT1/My%20Caprice/P71003.jpg) Black grille 🙂 ![http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v110/Danny_LT1/98_P71.jpg](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v110/Danny_LT1/98_P71.jpg) ![http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v110/Danny_LT1/9C1027.jpg](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v110/Danny_LT1/9C1027.jpg) ![http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v110/Danny_LT1/9C1026.jpg](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v110/Danny_LT1/9C1026.jpg) ![http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v110/Danny_LT1/9C1024.jpg](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v110/Danny_LT1/9C1024.jpg) ![http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v110/Danny_LT1/9C1025.jpg](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v110/Danny_LT1/9C1025.jpg) What it looked like when the NYSP had it… ![http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v110/Danny_LT1/98_NYSP.jpg](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v110/Danny_LT1/98_NYSP.jpg) ---

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. 🙂 ---

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. 😉 Title is clean ready to go fellers. 🙂 ---

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! ---

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. 😉 Help clear my driveway and help yourself have some winter transport! ---

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 ---

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. ---------- Post added at 10:44 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:38 PM ---------- 98’ P71 Vic with newer rear snows…cheap winter car!
