SOLD - 1987 Crown Vic P72 (Ohio)

[Steam McQueen]

Beauty. Looking for a starting bid of $3,950

5.8L 351 V8 engine. Odometer is in kilometers and shows 175,988 km (109,353 miles). Body and undercarriage are in extremely good condition for their age and do not appear to have seen much, if any, salt or other corrosives during its life. New tires, battery, and belts. Had the local carburetor shop replace the original design-flawed Variable Venturi carburetor with a different Motorcraft carburetor that was compatible with the engine.

I like your thinking there Mr.

It would make a beautiful MiB car!

Ahhh, there's the proper grille

I just noticed this bit added to the auction text ...

(In response to several questions, yes, the grille is incorrect for a 1987. I replaced the original with a NOS earlier grille I had because it was in better condition than the one originally on the car.)

I think I'd rather see the proper year grille on the Vic for sale, in whatever shape, than an incorrect NOS grille. It might be one of the reasons why there's been no bids yet to this point. Potential buyers might be thinking hmmm, what else was bastardized?

Mr. Mer changed the words to that Rolling Stones song ...

I wanna see it painted black, painted black
Black as night, black as coal
I wanna see the sun, blotted out from the sky
I wanna see it painted, painted, painted, painted black
Yeah .

I guess the $3,950 price tag is the reason why there's been no bids. We've recently seen some very nice P72's sell for $2,000 on daBay so people might be thinking nah to the $3,950. At least it's come down a bit in the relist, $3,600 now.
