The Last Crown Vic Being Assembled

As a former CV and Marauder owner I just teared up a little bit 
They were great cars.
They were great cars.
Some days I would still like to have a Marauder.
Still tons of these down here. They were a staple for the seniors.
A true end to an era. Bummer.
Still have my '99...~4000 miles till a 1/4 million.
a marauder with a blower would be a fun DD
better act soon, most of them are going to crap
Drive that thing til it doesn't drive anymore, I'm curious how long it'll go.
There is a guy in my local Mustang club that run mid-12's with his.
Those were all built locally here in St Thomas, Ontario. The huge plant is mostly torn down now. Crazy to think how many of them are still going strong. What a staple for reliability and dependability.
Coyote swap with a 6R80 would be my choice.
It'll probably never happen.
Good find. Where did the last CV end up? Sold to the public or put in a museum? With all the signatures I'm sure it'd be strange to retail the car.
I think Ford would done really well if they put a 5.0 with a better trans in the Crown Vic.
Love these cars. Had a 91 Town Car and it was a beast in the bad weather. Reliable, parts were cheap.

It went to Saudi Arabia and is on display at a big Ford dealer last I heard. I don't know if its been sold since.
It was a 2012 model car which couldn't be sold here due to safety regulations and Ford gave absolutely no shits about this platform so they weren't going to keep it.
That would have required them to invest multi-millions of dollars into a platform which was barely available to the public by the time it ended.
I do miss the Crown Vic, it was an icon and easily identifiable. I could spot its profile/headlights etc in an instant. That is harder nowadays with the variety of interceptors out there, there are still a few Crown Vics being used by our local PDs, but they are noticeably declining in number. There are a lot more Taurus interceptors, Caprice PPVs, Chargers, Tahoes, Explorers in use around here.
I think it would be cool if Ford brought it back, but I don't see it happening anytime soon if ever.

great cars, i daily a p71
The panel gaps on my marauders are better than most S550's I've seen. They also don't have a 50-70mph driveline shake.
Neither does my S550. But never the less, when compared to other cars that were on the road at the time, I never was drawn to the CV. Just my opinion.
