About the 1992–1997 Ford Crown Victoria
from the generation archive
The 1992–1997 Box Panther Crown Victoria might look like a mild-mannered sedan from the outside, but these owner builds tell a different story — turbo setups, Vortech superchargers, ProCharger blowers, and Brembo brake upgrades hiding under those boxy hoods. From maroon sedans parked on front lawns to blue Crown Vics with their engine bays cracked open at meets, this generation hub captures how owners are pushing the Panther platform way beyond stock.
The story
Bought from a gentleman in my city, who used the car as a real estate sales traveler.
I bought this car after getting rid of my mustang 3.8l v6. I have changed the factory radio to an aftermarket, and am waiting a little to change the speakers, since my driver door panels are screwed in with metal screws by the arm rest. I want to change the rear shock absorbers one day as well to gas struts or to air struts where I can adjust the ride pressure. I changed the fan belt but as I was putting the fan cover back on trying to get the bottom prongs in place so it wouldn't bounce around, I accidentally broke the top screw holder that attaches to the radiator. The part that attaches to the radiator is plastic I think but will gladly take pointers on how to fix this besides getting a new radiator.
Update 4/4/12
I finally got some crc or mass air flow cleaner and blew around the intake manifold sensor. All I can say is WOWWWW. Gracie rides like a beauty and has the horsepower like she would have had off the factory line. — rtaillon1
