Wow. Thanks for showing the old girl on the channel. My son was super excited to see it. Belongs to him now so she won’t be going anywhere soon. It has more of a sentimental value to us than anything. Appreciate you taking care of the things it needed.

When the mercury marauder was released..THIS guy was in AWE.... And when seeeing 1 on the road, couldnt help but follow it..was sooo BAD ASS

It's a bummer they quit making crown vic super solid cars 🔧👊🔴💪👍💯

This was before all the auto reviewers ruined luxury cars by criticizing them on speed and handling. Now everything has stiff seats and stiff suspension to make it feel “sporty”. These panther cars will go down in history as one of the best American cars ever made.

The panther platform is the last decent vehicles Ford has made. With routine maintenance, they will last forever until the body rots away.

Made back when I absolutely loved Ford and thought they could do no wrong. My Ford product is a 1983 Lincoln Mark VI. 47,000 original miles. 38 years old as of the writing of this. Never been tuned up, original belts and hoses! Throttle Body Fuel Injected 5 liter V8. Runs well

Too bad Ford doesn't build them like this anymore. Ah the good old days...

Yes, I love the 1st gear howl of these older AODE/4R70Ws.

Love the 4.6 fantastic engine love to put one in my Ford ranger if it ever dies 180,000 miles on runs like new did have to change coil pack and ball joints last weak runs like a champ 06 ranger but I do take good care of it transmission service diff service rad service keep up with all its maintenance 👨‍🔧

Love the interior wood trimming the lights inside. Those little things that could be fix no problem it's worth it. I like how you check on everything to see if it needs fixing and let the owner know. You said beautiful a lot and it is... The whole video proves why they come to you...I would never know it will need a new fan clutch when it free spins like that. Thanks for that info.

Those hubcaps and whitewalls kill the timeless look of a panther body.

Used to take my grandpa's grand marquis joy riding man I loved that car same year as this one. I kind of want to buy one and build it in memory of him.

Learned to drive on an 02 crown vic. Thanks dad, good car to learn on, bought a 91 firebird shortly after getting my license. Still got it. Crown vic went a little over 200k before it was retired after snapping off a sway bar mount for an 04 Deville which killed itself from eating timing chain guide, thanks GM.

Wow, I’d proudly drive this. It’s a gorgeous vehicle.

It’s guys like you that we need in this world just in the few videos I have watched I’ve learned so much not just about cars but about life in general thank you I say it a lot and comment a lot because I want KZfaqs algorithm to help you get exposure. Sry if I get annoying

Have a 95 crown vic with 290k and climbing. Best car I ever had

Man that is nostalgic. That looks almost identical to my 93 vic. I remember being 6 years old riding in the back with grandmother driving. I'm glad I inherited the car I grew up in. I got to get it back to mint. Mine has about 200k miles on the mercury in the video and you can tell .

Omg that interior is mint!

I love my '10 Grand Marquis! Its reliable, easy and cheap to maintain, comfortable, and gets 30 mpg!

I daily my '08 MGM and love it. Up to ~63K miles now and it drives like nothing else available

I have 2 grand marquis for summer vehicles, a 99 LS and 00 LS. They are so reliable and comfortable, and never break down. I have done 12 hour road trips with neither of them missing a beat, original A/C blows cold and digital dash works flawlessly in both

I wish I could find a decent one of these in the UK. Have driven a few in the USA and loved them.

My 2003 Mercury Grand Marquis GS has 246,000 miles on her and she's still wanting more.

These and the crown vics are among the best cars ever made. Would get rid of my fusion in a heartbeat to get one of these with low miles.

I wish they never quit making these, im keeping mine forever. Imagine if ford would have kept making them but with the 5.0l coyote.

The ol' cruise control switch fire recall.

I had a 1999 Crown Vic and it was the best riding car I’ve ever had. It was awesomely dependable. It had the 4.6 SOHC engine that had good power. I always wanted to put a 3:55 rear end in it and get dual exhaust. I believe that would have awakened the hiding beast in the Vic. Wish I had that car now.

I had a 94 back in the day,,, seamed to be the lightest version of the panther platform,, great car, do miss that one

I love these cars!!! Thank you Ford Boss!!! Enjoy the day!! Miss my 94' 😟😰😰

Had a 1995 crown vic, most reliable, comfortable vehicle ive ever owned. never any big issues other than steering and suspension issues.

That cars beautiful on the inside. This is how you find good cars. Elderly people who have passed on or can't drive. I have my aunts 07 buick lucerne with 60000 miles just changed all the fluids. It has the 3.8l buick v6.

95 was the last year with that air bag on the steering wheel. 96 got the new air bag and the front door courtesy lights still lighted up. 97 the door courtesy lights don't light up. That's how you tell a 95, 96, from a 97. Super solid cars. Keep a close watch on the engine oil level as they can burn oil (valve stem seals). Look at the under intake heater hose right behind the alternator is a little 5 inch section of rubber hose.(look for bulging or dry rot).. Smear a blob of chassis grease on the bump stops on the front suspension to prevent the loud popping and screeching sound in a parking lot with the steering wheel cut as sharp as it can turn. Torque converter shudder is common, do a pan drop every 30,000 miles and a new filter, reuse the factory pan gasket. Add 5 quarts of new transmission fluid. If the shuddering doesn't go away or comes back soon, add a tube of Dr. Tranny instant shudder Eliminator or equivalent including Ford limited slip rear axle friction modifier(add 1 ounce of the friction modifier and then another ounce if that didn't fix it). These timing sets on these older ones have metal tensioners and the chain guides have metal spine. These timimg sets usually last the life of the car, unlike the newer versions. Check the lower ball joints every year. 95 was the last year for the full metal intake manifold. These are true 500,000 mile cars with the normal neglectful drivers as long as they don't run them out of engine oil, these cars will out last most all other cars on the road today.. including brand new 2021 models.

That’s gonna make somebody a sweet ride.

I was given two mint mid 90s Grand Marquis 15 years ago by my roommate that bought them for his shuttle business. A family death caused me to leave everything but before I did I gave one to a friend's mom who was struggling with health problems with expensive meds and gave the other to a church so they could pass it on. Both are still on the road being used for what I had hoped. I'm currently trying to talk a friend out of one he got while waiting on the car he wants. Wish me luck.

I drove one bring high school. I loved the vehicle, I wish I still have it but it was my parents vehicle. It was the best vehicle than the 2010 ford edge that I had. Much respect vehicles like that.

Lighted door lock cylinders on the outside of the doors with the heat given off from the bulb, it helped to thaw a frozen door lock.... also these older ones still have a door lock cylinder on the passenger door.

Nice! You can’t go wrong with the Grand Marquis/Crown Vic. 4.6L. Swap some parts and have a super nice sleeper, all with power every and comfy seats. Those “Grandpa/Grandma” cars are the best. And the Buick Regal’s/LeSabre/Park Ave’s. They’re made to last and some of those 3800’s are....SUPERCHARGED!

Good ole panther platform !

Those 90's Crown Vics/Grand Marquis are great road cars.

I recently found a 2010 Grand Marquis with 40k which is the same car 15 years newer. It's nice to drive a 50 year old design with 20 y.o. technology again. My only complaint so far is 17 inch tires which are 30% more costly to replace than 16s. This car makes all the good old familiar Ford noises!

Nice 1995 GM. Thx for the video. I just checked my 99 GM. After looking at your video I was thinking my fuses were reveresed since my passenger window is doing the same thing. But their in the right slots. Seems like it only happens when the car is out in the sun. Not sure what it is but AC works so im good for now until I figure it out.

I have 4! A 82, a 85 that my dad bought to replace his 79, a 91 that replaced the 85, and 97 that replaced the 91. All have over 200k. The 97 is one of my daily drivers with over 300k.

The passenger window didn’t work since the window lock was on, those older fords locked out all but the driver window.

I have never pulled a fuse successfully with a fuse puller :p. No matter how gentle or tough I was, always have had to use the needle nose pliers!

Hi rich another great video thanks in the video you were saying about the viscous fan needs replacing many years ago i were in to ford sierras and i had to replace this part as somebody changed the water pump and never prop the fan in the fitted position as in the car and layed it down flat and it destroyed the gel and the fan was out of balance a very good part but can be destroyed in minutes if you don't take care of it your friend Tony

With RWD, I saw a lot of these in the ditch during winter. If you are up north, I would leave it in the garage during icy weather and at 19 mpg, you probably don't want to use it for a long commute. Other than that, if you have room in your driveway and got it next to nothing, why not.

I don’t care what anyone says, these cars are one of the best cars of ALL TIME. You can take a Ford Crown Vic and put it into police duty for years, retire the car and then make it into a taxi cab for many more years! That’s a GREAT CAR!

Wow beautiful

My grandmother owned several Grand Marquis. First one became a rust bucket, second one an '87 developed an oil leak I don't remember if it was the valve cover or rear main seal. And her third and last one was a '96 that needed a new transmission somewhere under 80K miles. Always driven slow. So I don't know about reliability but no worse than my Accords.

Very informative

sweet cars

4.6 2v a great motor. Have a 02 Ford explorer with that engine. The engine is running good but the rest of it's falling apart LOL. The vehicle has over 314,000 miles on it.

The last of the great American cars.

Just got my first panther plat form 2001 town car 21 years old drives like new all my grandfather would own I've always wanted one

Sweet comfort cruiser

I filmed this Grand Marquis yesterday. Without keys 😁

I got a 2001 with 46,000, still had factory tires when I bought it lol

It's the little things about this vehicle I like, makes me wanna sell my car 🤣

I had a 2008 back in 2015 with 35k miles that I got from a ford dealership and I totaled it in 6 months. Talk about pissed! But insurance was able to get full value because of the low mile motor.

1989 grand mark 8 yrs old with 104k $2,500 light brown car ..high school car I miss her now. 220k slipping trans parked it

I would love to have this car, it is perfect, they dont make them like this anymore. I get it though, its sentimental. My grandfather died in 75, he had a 73 Torino Sport, 2 door coupe, red with black interior and top. It was a secksie car. My grandmother gave it to her "favorite grandson" my cousin and he sold it when he turned 16.......cheap, it had 16k miles on it. I was so pissed, I would have kept it forever! I am living proof there is a god....and he hates me!

Man she is a beauty i would love to have a crown vic as a daily, man i sound like boomer lol 😆

These older ones don't use coil on plug ignitions that overheat and fail.. The 97 and older use coil banks that almost never fail and are not located on top of the hot engine.

Yep....its one of the reasons why I have had a crown victoria since 2001. Currently have a 2005 street edition cvpi with 140k...ran my last crown to about 290k, then the motor finally gave it up. it was just to expensive to put in a new motor....then the 05 I have just fell into my lap...snapped it up too..lol.

I told ya those old 90s Ford's don't die!

I believe 95 or 96 was the last year for the big metal grab handle around the ignition switch.

Nice

I think you need to make some project ranger videos. Start with the window motor lol

I had something like that on my 98, I had to upgrade a circuit breaker. Not recalled though.

hey boss can i ask a quick question, im trying to replace the fuel pump in my 06ranger 3.0 and when trying to drop the tank the damn quick disconnects wont come off on 2 of the lines. Any tips would be greatly appreciated

Very nice shape. Love all the info you give. If you have a moment check out one my my last TC videos with the undercarriage. Can you spot what type of aftermarket muffler that is? Everything else is original on mine.

Built in St Thomas Ontario Canada well made cars

She just needs a good detail to bring her back to new!

Your channel has some great content and useful information. As far as this vehicle goes, would the owner entertain selling it ? I would be interested.

The biggest problem with these cars is that they lasted too long too reliable.

Use Teflon wiper blades, they last years and don’t smudge like regular cheap rubber ones.

Fellow panther owner

Nice co-worker at 7:45....

SCDS is an old recall, everyone was in a panic and didn't drive there vehicle for a couple months

When do you do a tune up on these 4.6 litres how many miles

Where is the PDF of my 1995 Ford Marquis?

Not a ford guy but that car look like the AC cold is hell😂😂😂

These older ones have an extremely robust cooling system under the hood. A very aggressive fan clutch that transmits power via the serpentine belt to a massive fan and an additional high volume heavy duty auxiliary electric fan for additional cooling capacity in extreme high demand situations. Deleted in 98

I've owned 5 panther cars, I currently own 2, an 03 grand marquis and a 96 town car. I'll keep these cars until they make it outright illegal to drive gas burners because out of the 24ish vehicles I've owned I've yet to encounter one better than these cars.

Ford did it right with the crown vic's it was their Toyota Camry version of reliability. Damn shame ford quit making them. Those crown vic's were built like tanks.

i saw this car for 500$ on Kijiji and i wanna ask my parents if they can get me this until i get my license but im to afraid to ask

So i have a 99 lincoln town car. It wines a bit like that wjen I'm cruising. Is that normal?

Why is the oil pressure gauge not working?

How much $$ ????

I'd be scared of buying a car that sat for 6 years.

If I sent you the VIN on my F-350 could you see whats been done to it at all dealers?

Need to clay bar that windshield and slap on new blades and it will be like new.

How are you not fired for filming at work yet? That tends to happen to techs.

Great car but they have valve seal problems and egr crossover clogging. Not crazy major. Other than that perfect. The intake is all aluminum and outlasts the driver, no plastic :lol:

7:45😘🤣🤣😵

Is that gjovik ford

My mom has a 1996 Chevy 1500 she bought new. It only has 98,000 miles. The clear coat looks terrible as Chevy uses terrible quality paint and clear coat. The truck runs solid. But she is convinced it's wore out because it's near 100k miles. I keep telling her that most 2014 trucks on used car lots have over 200k miles.

Wassup

Grandpa's truck?

dude I got triggered when you said the transmission had the same whine as the cop cars LOL
