1983 Ford Crown Victoria “Old Yellow”
About the 1983–1991 Ford Crown Victoria
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
The ugliest yellow I have ever seen. Paid $400 for it in 2003 when I saw it sit neglected in a local used car dealers lot. I finally investigatedit one day only to find that an old man traded it in on a ford escort. One owner, never smoked in, immaculte in and out 89k mile car. Perfect material for me to work with! — RReed189
