Congrats on the car yet again.
The car sale looked something like...


2 things were wrong and wayyyy too fictitious with the vid though...
1 was how easy the Crown Vics keep up when they should have been smoked...
But the 2nd and worst was how easy he found reverse. LOL

You should also replace the shifter and bushings, and also the stock clutch has got to go. If GM had done that from the factory, this car would be In the discussion for "best ever"

Insanely good deal!

Looks like I'll either get buried with mine, or it's getting rammed into a wall when I get sick of it lol.

Congrats on the new ride at a great price. As some others have said, go ahead and do the CS mounts and shifter bushings and be done with it rather than have issues down the road.

UMI makes some nice mounts. There are a few good options available.

Thanks guys. It's really my wife's car (and yes sometimes she drives crazier than I do) My DD is a Chrysler 300C. Lol, we're definitely not new to fast cars though. I think the V will stay mostly stock for the time being.

WTF? That's crazy, you got one hell of a deal! Are there any known issues with it, like the dreaded rear end whine?

No rear end whine that I can hear. We just changed the diff fluid and gave her a fresh oil change yesterday, plan on doing the tranny, clutch, brake fluids in the next few days as well.

I've used Amsoil before in my Supercharged Vette and to be honest I didn't notice a difference. I just don't like that it needs to be ordered all the time.

Lol, just ordered a personalized plate. I've always had one on every car I own so figured why not. Had to keep with the "Quik" theme like my user name. I just took this pic off the computer when I ordered it, I can't believe it wasn't taken (everything seems to be)
