Got a buddy for the Marauder

[Chevyguy]

Another longtime Panther Owner back in the CROWN VIC business!!

Just bought a 2004 Crown Vic LX with 129K for a very good price, this will be my new "Beater" buddy for the Marauder so I can drive this more than the 96 Town car which was pretty beat up after last winter.

Will have to do SOME mods to it, get a 21mm rear sway bar, upgrade the shocks/maybe front springs. Gotta ditch the single exhaust somehow, anyone have any stock Marauder exhaust local? (Stainless works cat back out of the budget for now). It will be nice to let the MM take a breather and slow the assault towards 100K miles now at 85K over 30K in not quite 2 years even with 15K on the beater. Having most of the same options as the MM is a big plus switching back and forth got this for less than the tag hanging from the mirror.

:beer: QFT

Had a few GMLS in the running but I would have been more tempted to make it look Marauderish. Plus the huge wood trim pieces in the GM are a bit over the top.

The Vic has a smaller simulwood panel which is bonded to the larger bezel
