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
Bought from a friends neighbor who likes old CVPIs, had it about three years. He had it repainted and since aftermarket paint jobs typically do fair well in the Florida sun the paint is fading but the car runs well, thats what matters. Just replaced the radiator two months ago and wouldn't mind pulling the EFI for a carb setup, but I think I'll be getting into a newer P71 before all that. Love the box body, but I want something newer...without vinyl seats. — Richard Cram
