    Whoa! That Vic looks very cool! I had a 92 Marquis, I miss that big boat.

    Nice find. That Vic looks sick, and I’ll bet it’s even better in person.

    Those rims look like old-timey Cragars.

    My 2005 Town car signature limited and my 95 Fleetwood

    That fleet was an animal, far more power and a lot quicker than the ford 4.6

    I'll second the amazement at a "Vic with a stick!"

    That looks very fun. How is it to drive?

    Also, the "GrandMa" moniker - thanks for the chuckle, Basic!

    It's just a bigger more Comfortable Mustang. To be honest, I prefer the Panther because the car feels more balanced and just over all has more room for activities

    I wonder what pedal setup they used or home made setup? Surely you've seen "project neighbor" ?

    Love the Bullitt wheels. The 03'-'04 Mercury Marauder would be up your alley too. My old insurance guy had one, nice car, made a lot of noise. Throwback.

    I always wanted either a 7th gen Impala SS or a Mercury Marauder. Well done sir.

    Marauders are awesome, but they are starting to command pretty decent money. I was able to get this for about a quarter of what I could get one of them for. And for me the 5 speed trumps the 4V anyway.

    Big old American boat, you don't see them much anymore. The Chevy SS of around 2016 could be had with a manual. That is the SS sedan that came and went without much fanfare. I like the looks of the Challenger a lot. A throwback to another time as well.
