I think the fact it’s not trying to be something it’s not, just a bit like a 60’s sports car that might have been influenced by Lusso/GTO/ SWb etc. Yeah I've said before i like this sort of thing as a 60s pastiche. It's when they start glueing on fake badges and walking around with fake key-fobs.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

17-Coffees Posted May 12, 2020 Share Posted May 12, 2020 There's a chance I could move out to the US state of Oregon, so it leads me to always looking for cars there at least once a month. $1850 for an ex-Police Crown Vic with 98k on the clock. Sure its tatty and still has the 'convict' spec rear seats, but it's a turn-key car in US terms (Oregon is Lax on roadworthy).Probably spend $1k max on getting parts/tidying it up and. Mhmm...I should't mull things like that over.https://interceptorking.com/inventory/2004-ford-crown-victoria-interceptor-98k-miles/ MorrisItalSLX, somewhatfoolish, Three Speed and 10 others 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
