Any crossover folks who follow F*rd Panthers?

Yeah I know it’s sacriledge to even ask,but I am.

Still a fusi-300 nut, but we’ve owned two Crown Vics in the family. Still haven’t found a forum for them that’s as good as this one is for C-bodies.

I have Panther love and I've poked around here and there looking for a good forum, too.
When you find one, post it here. Quietly.

You have yourself a keeper, John. Trust me.
Ever thought of giving it a little Marauder treatment? Tastefully, of course.

At the end of the Marquis run, my local dealer was blowing out new ones at 20k.

This forum is pretty decent. I don't participate much though.

Lot's of guys use them as a poor man's muscle car. If you think about it, it makes sense. Rear wheel drive, V8 engine etc. They are cheap to repair and there are tons of ex-cop cars out there.

A friend had a black Marauder that he was selling... Beautiful, almost perfect car with some tasteful mods. Timing wasn't quite right so I passed on it but I don't think I could find a nicer one today for the same price.

I think we should have a Panther section here on FCBO...

Dear Panther/modular-motor forumz,

I heard tell that my V10 no-cold-crank issue could be internal starter wire corrosion. Whatchu think 'bout dat?

 

[300Nutter]

Locally, you can still get a Panther with some life left in it for an affordable price.

C-body.... not so much. Unfortunately.

So for a driver...it’s an option. Not the best, but an option.

It's the ballast resistor... or the thermostat.

A big, heavy, roomy RWD sedan with V8 power. I can see why there would be those of us here who like them. I would gladly sport around in a Mercury Maurauder. Those cars are sweet and they can move.

 

[300rag]

A couple of local cars here

 

[300Nutter]

Hmmm wonder if a 440 would fit under that hood?

Would you prefer a Marauder or a blacked out Vic?
