I love the Ford LTD Crown Victoria, it is luxurious, I like when it sounds when you insert the key into the ignition switch, it sounds: "clin, clin, clin"....
Having owned a Chevette of the same year--with the EXACT same model transmission--I thought the T5 5-speed was the standard manual transmission on the S-10? BTW: Nice fleet trim "dime"... like the silver one I had, but mine had the automatic. Still eeked-out 25-mpg, and could go 103-113MPH... before the downshift, and factory fault to the pre-'87 700-R4s would make the engine "flash".
I wish they still made practical, fuel efficient small trucks like this. I love my 02 Ranger and it's sad that the new Rangers are just corporate shill medium duty trucks with nothing special about them. I'll always be Ranger/S10/Tacoma fan, better for the environment too.
Gorgeous Crown Vic man,these here are real cars, dont get rid of it!! I tell you a funny story,i built a 347 stroker for my Mustang, i have a AOD behind it, i didn't build it so i could destroy it in a few months like most do but i built it to enjoy cruising in it and once in a while i get on it, fun little motor,when it came to finding a flexplate... man that was a adventure. I was very paranoid about torque converter clearance and thrust bearing issues (i have read horror stories about this) and my options were either a Pioneer flywheel from the parts store which are crappy and the holes dont line up perfectly or a heavy duty SFI racing flywheel that doesn't "flex" they way the should and are mainly for high horsepower applications OR finding a original OEM flexplate that only came in LTDs that had the rare 351 option and were fleet sales only, most people didn't wanna pay the extra price for the 351 back then so 95% of people went with the 302 which uses a different flywheel. Talk about hens teeth!!! for a couple of months i scoured the internet looking for one, finally i found a guy in a little town in California that had one in his attic in the original Ford package it came in and the guy only wanted 80 bucks for it, because the LTD with the really rare 351 motor came with a AOD behind it and it was the only car that did so finding this thing was a proverbial bitch but I'm so glad i did, motor runs like a sowing machine and shifts like a Lexus,smoooooth.
Hi Andy! I am a young Frenchman who bought a similar model, a 1985 ford LTD Crown Victoria. A former police car. And I was wondering if you knew where I could find replacement gaskets? All my window seals are burned and falling apart. Thanks!
Just saw that you were selling. If you got $7,500 for it the guy that bought it wasn’t very smart. lol! Great cars but inflated price. I’d pay $4,000 tops for a car like that.
I had a ‘91 Grand Marquis. Last year for the square look. I loved that car. I miss the rear-wheel drive and comfortable ride. I’m driving a ‘99 Camry now and it’s not the most comfortable car, but I can’t complain about the reliability. 250,000 miles and still runs like new. Enjoy it if you still have it!
Im 22 just but a 1986 ltd for 3500 not as beautiful condition as yourd but it runs good does everything great i got roll up windows 😂 i love it and the feeling of opening and closing the doors is wonderful
The 1979 to 1987 full size Ford's were very attractive cars. There was a styling change in 1988 to 1991 models that I have never cared for. Your 1986 model has the right paint color and trim. A very attractive car. Like many other nice cars from the past there aren't a lot of well preserved examples lift. Too bad because most new cars made today will probably never regarded as anything special 30 years from now.
That’s nice I had one when I was 16 it was technically my fathers but he let me drive it all the time when my RU-vid channel get 100,000 subscribers I’m going to buy another one
Hey Andy, I own a 1984 LTD that has the same problem you had where the rear window on the driver’s side doesn’t work. It’ll roll down but can’t roll up. What’d you have to do to repair it?
