About the 1983–1991 Ford Crown Victoria LTD
from the generation archive
The Ford LTD Crown Victoria (1983-1991) is the box-body Panther-platform full-size Ford, sold as one continuous generation from the 1983 model split until the aero 1992 Crown Victoria replaced it. Every one is body-on-frame, rear-wheel drive, with a 5.0L (302) V8 and the AOD four-speed automatic as the standard powertrain. The 302 ran central fuel injection through 1985 and switched to sequential EFI for 1986, while a carbureted 5.8L (351W) V8 served police and fleet duty. A 1988 freshening revised the front and rear styling; otherwise the body changed very little across nine model years.
The story
My uncle was a car dealer in OKC. My grandpa bought it from his dealership and had it until he sold it to my dad so he could get a new CV. The only thing he did to before he sold it was get the transmission rebuilt. My mom and dad drove it for several years until they gave it to my wife and me four years ago. The CV now has 250,000 mile on it and still runs and looks very nice. — grandpasscrownvic
