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
Featured in Old Cars Weekly magazine Ford addition Sept 3, 2009. Only 13,673 models were produced in 1985. Been showing this at Car Shows for 3 years now, and have taken many trophies. All original paint and top, many door dings but still gets a lot of lookers. Since posting this in 2009 the car has won many awards but another great award was taking a
"Best Ford In Show" trophy. Are there any other red two door 1985 LTD's left? I can't seem to find one in all my online searches. Please email me if you know of another one like mine, [email protected] — tauras95ny
